Your new Outback looks lovely - will we be seeing it at the BYB BBQ?

Is it an Auto or manual?

Lovells (manufactured in Sydney) also make aftermarket springs for Subarus.

My Brumby has a 2" body lift and King Springs. It doesn't look too bad with the 13" wheels on, but I suppose that's a personal taste and you might hate the look. Given that I travel around 500km a week in the Brumby, with 13"s on I'm wearing out cheap $70 tyres and have the correct tyre to diff rati...

Here's an example of what a cam-painted vehicle can do http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/636/lavgt4.jpg Then there's always the option of having a cam-paint job which has it's own message ;) http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/7807/ch53elady1apm6.jpg http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4083/ch53elady2acc5....

what are peoples views on Kumho Venture M/T 27"x14"? im thinking of getting a set for offroading and then swapping them on when i want to go off road then just switching back to road tyres for normal driving. so i will just get another set of 14'' wheels. so what are peoples ideas about Kumho Ventu...

yeah it was a wet morning and the front of the car slid on the ice and she went down the bank. the only reason that it didnt go further was the wheels dug down into the dirt and stopped me. The bullbar was on it when i got it. All i did was gave it a lick of paint and thats it. :confused: Ice on th...

Send a PM to BYB-01 or Suby Wan Kenobi.

My Brumby's alloy bullbar is looking quite tired after being bent and knocked around. I'm tossing up whether to get another conventional styled alloy bullbar, or go for a steel tubular bar. Here's what I'm considering..... Conventional alloy bar Looks pretty in polished finish and has some upwards a...

This whole thread has gotta be wind-up.

If a monster Brumby did exist, it's probably owned by some Yowie!

The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman a nd was somewhat upset. "You are a disrespectful pig!" she cried. "How dare you do this to me - a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want a divorce straight away...

Outback, EJ25 and manual gearbox, 4.444 diffs, 215/60R16 tyres

100km/hr = 3000 rpm

Looks like some fines coming up there. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Have you heard the stories about: - the two Subaru's that went head to head and kissed bull bars? - the fella that lost all his gears while driving home? - the ugly Brumby? - the 'Brokeback Mountain' woman who wanted a piece of th...

by the way, i dunno who owns the brumby that doesnt like getting wet, but trust dave to be knee deep getting the strap for someone Yep, my Brumby didn't like getting wet today. :( The spark plug leads shorted out and Brumby was dead in the water. Before I'd even opened the door Dave was in the wate...

I know of some owners who are running 215/70R16 tyres on their Foresters and they tell me that this size just clears the standard strut.

Is this a locker for the stub axle type diffs, or the C-clip type?

27" tyres are tight under an L. To get these Federal's under, you'd need to trim the guards quite radically.

What offset rims are you looking at using on the Brumby? I've got Scorpion rims with 27" Nankangs and get slight rubbing at full lock on the chassis rail with this set up.

With regard to the key security question, have you considered installing a small metal lock-box inside the car (under a seat, or in the spare wheel well)? http://www.armstronglock.com/images/prod-0101383-zoom.jpg Then all you'd need to have is a plain key cut to open the driver's door. :) Jack

Congratulations to you all.

We got some hail the size of large grapes. Came down for about 15 minutes, then the weather turned into rain. Rain stopped after an hour and the sun started shining again.

Feels like I'm back living in Melbourne.

I suppose it makes sense for Tasmania. Dropping the speed limit to less than 80-90km/hr will give people an opportunity to travel for at least one hour when driving from the island's East coast to the West coast. After all, Tasmania is a pretty small island, and by the time some vehicles have accele...
