I don't know about the chassis, I towed a few trailers included furniture to melburne and back and a car on trailer on my MY leone, I would say the problem would be the brakes, they are really bad and I suspect the disks would suffer from fade as well. They might even crack or suffer some failure, w...

She's lucky it didn't catch on fire, I personally fail to see how it didn't with a fuel leak and all that metal scraping against the underbody. Unless the fuel leak was added as an extra touch of drama, not that it really needed it. edit: I guess it could have been a diesel. Do they have diesel in A...

I couldn't sleep so here it goes: I believe it might be the EGR, there is a vacuum hose with a small metal restriction in it, I wonder if you replaced it with a normal one. I can't remember if this hose has anything to do with egr, though.

Make sure you don't have a vacuum leak. This includes hoses, intake manifold and vacuum diafragms. To check the manifold for leaks you can spray degreaser on the ends and see if the idle changes. I don't know if egr or pcv valves can do this, but I wouldn't rule them out either.

I can't take a picture because I cannot find my usb cable. What a nuisance. I might buy a card adapter later on, but I found this (poorly resized) picture on this page. Oh wait I found a better one. http://images.rocket.com.au/12/45/1245235.jpg

I don't know if there are preamp outs on the stereo, but I haven't seen a factory one that has them yet. But there is another solution, which is a speaker level to rca adaptor like the one here. http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.as ... rm=KEYWORD

Improving the quad headlights

1983 Subaru coupe, 4 square lights. This information seems to apply to brumby as well. I was fixing things on my car today when I remembered that long time ago I measured the voltage the headlights get and it was quite low. So I measured it again and the headlights on low beam get about 10.6 V, abou...
