I have done it the other way around. Using a brumby sender and a forester instrument cluster and it works ok but not perfectly. 3/4 = 1/2, 1/2 = 1/4 and 1/4 means go to the servo soon.

I have 6.5" splits in the doors and a 10" free air sub under the drivers seat mounted to a 16mm thick mdf board and bolted to the floor. A big amp sits under the passenger seat. The result is very impressive for a Brumby.

This has been done by boxer service in brisbane many years ago.

It was a massive conversion and Don't think it could ever be registered. I think it was built as a track racer for doing gymkhana's etc.

You seem to be very anti electronic things so I would put my 2 cents in. having owned several early generation subarus and newer ones and I couldn't disagree more! Yes you do need to carry a big box of spares when driving an older subaru as they tend to break down a lot more! As black boxes as you c...

I have read that toyota are working on a supercharger! for this. Also if has been designed with aftermarket mods in mind even the ecu is left unlocked so it can be remapped. Expect to see turbo kits for these within months. It was their goal to keep them simple and cheap and let the owners modify as...

I have 10mm extra lift in the rear (50mm lift kit with 60 over the struts) and I used the standard car jack to push the control arm down until the bolt would go in. Whatever springs you have will make no difference to fitting the strut as the strut itslef does not get longer, only stiffer so it does...

It is very simple and easy to replace with second hand ones. Just unplug and unbolt and bolt in and plug in the new one. The airbags will not go off unless there is very dodgy wiring going on. Also the g force impact sensor should not need to be replaced unless it is crushed (mounted on the chassis ...

4x140 to 5x100 is what you want if you want to run subaru 5 stud wheels.

These are not legal though

You are much better off doing a proper 5 stud conversion, but at 1/3 the cost I can see why you are looking at these.

I don't this should be or ever will be AWD. The engine has been moved far back behind the strut tower and lowered to achieve near perfect weight balance for a RWD sports car. If you want awd buy a wrx. This could be one of the next great rwd sports coupes and may become very popular as a drift car i...

1+ for turbo over h6 Unless the h6 is blown but that would be a whole lot of work and money! You will have very little travel in the rear with lifted springs and even less with strut tops, if you can get them in at all! You really need a lift kit with the multilink setup. Unless you modify the front...

Middle man mark up in aus is just a rip off! I bought some koni adjustable inserts for my front struts and saved $300 including $100 postage over buying from a aussie retailer.

Hi Tweety nice ride! I hate to say it but the ea81 will not give you much power increase, They put out 73hp from factory. Although it should be more reliable. I would suggest a ej series motor ej18 is about 110hp and ej22 about 130hp and are very reliable and much better looking than a ea81 if you a...
