Try Competition Valves Australia,Motec and Competition Valves started up together in the same back shed many years back with Richard bendell and John White from memory,last time I had some made exhausts were $45.00 each but that was some time ago. Even then at $45.00 each that was much cheaper than ...

Yes I have just got back from Newcastle,some delay with the Fatal truck crash at Mount White,was actually not on the expressway on the off ramp in a straight section,can't see how it could happen unless someone else was involved causing him to take evasive action poor bastard. EA81 correct engine wi...

Seems everyone else has been asleep I just bought a factory twin carb EA81 complete with air cleaner assembly,carbs etc only bidder and someone else bought a twin carb 1600 in queensland,his was cheaper at $50.00 with a gearbox though but I factored time and freight in and paid more for a closer EA8...

So I assume you have found an EA81 Turbo engine,do not forget to upgrade it to a watercooled turbo and hope the heads are not cracked.

In NSW the fine is these days is $175.00 and I hate the clowns who use them incorrectly. That being said I consider the fact that the Law is rarely enforced for such a visible offence is the ultimate in stupidity when society needs the Police being respected or feared (your choice) to have an effect...

Yes the Cool factor is becoming much more evident,my Brumby replaced an MY wagon and since then there are now 4 more Brumbies that have appeared locally in my area,Subaru really need to wake up about a replacement. The Brumby you will learn to appreciate is one of those rare things these days an Hon...

Windscreens are not a problem as Moore glass in Sydney specialise in older vehicles and are not the Ripoffs that the more commonly known Windscreen specialists are. The last one they did for me was about 5 yeays ago for an AE86 Sprinter and was $220.00 fitted for a banded laminated screen and new Ru...

Like your metalwork,it is good to see someone who has far more advanced skills than TAFE equips people with these days. Have you considered supplying Subaru specific rust repair panels as many both here and overseas would welcome a source of repair panels to either fit themselves or supply to a good...

that offset thing is utter crap. My l-series had the speedy 14inch rims on it from new pretty much (receipts to back it up) 20 years later and with 340km on the clock (add 10% for bigger tyres its whole life) so close to 400k the car had no problems. Everything was replaced die to old age and wear ...

I was checking out the performance wheels industrial catalog and they have a listing under the TX1 series wheels that includes HT HQ and Ford as well as the traditional 4WD 6 bolt pattern on the same rim model. This should mean that that rim centre is capable of being drilled for a Subie 4 x 140 stu...

Fuel cut at about 8 psi,there is a pressure sensor mounted on the inlet manifold that does this. You could try fitting a small mainjet such as keihin motorcycle CV carb jet into the hose to the sensor as the restriction will delay the pressure spike or fit a fishtank air control valve inline as well...

Firstly to clear up any misconceptions people have about 12 volt systems. 1:A battery simply means a series of interconnected cells in traditional lead acid based cells one thing is constant a single cell fully charged is actually 2.2 volts,therefore a 6 cell 12volt battery is fully charged at 13.2 ...

Both of you have missed the point entirely,one is totally unrealistic with demands no manufacturer would ever consider and the Photoshop specials whilst the first one works alright looks wise the main feature of the Brumby that helped it sell so well was it's size and practical nature and low cost. ...

Well obviously it meets the ADR's in that form or it would not have been issued with a compliance plate would it ? A . Well not always Govt departments obviously turn many a blind eye for Big Business something to do with the perception of them having enough money to buy off the distraught relative...

Has anyone heard that lifting in NSW is now very hard to do? Apparently new RTA rules say that you cant go more than 5% of original height or something. In NSW it is now Illegal to have any vehicle lifted more than a Maximum of 2 "I would expect most other states to follow sooner or later. Personal...

All please note that a 12 volt system is not actually 12 volts. A battery is a number of cells hooked together,each cell should supply 2,2 volts with automotive lead acid technology,remember all modern batteries are still just a variation such as AGM (Absorbed Glass Matt)Calcium etc. Therefore a ful...

Good thing for all to be aware of is Ethanol mix fuels will absorb water far more than normal fuel and this sort of problem is becoming more widespread. It also rusts fuel tanks and lines,which is why many later vehicles now use plastic fuel tanks and lines. Another thing to note is reduced shelf li...

Look at the following areas,Worn bush in steering rack on passenger side of main rack body that can be checked by pulling rack boot back off housing and attempting to move the shaft up and down. Remove outer CV boots and check the amount of CV grease,too little and dry causes all sorts of noises and...

Haven't had to look at my Suby yet but when improving the lights on my Toyota sprinter a few years back found they are quite tricky to wire up as a lot of Japanese vehicles run a switched earth system,not a switched power system. If this is the case then you will need to use a totally different appr...

Yes that cook and clean system cost a lot in warranty issues everyone uses encapsulated plastic units now that don't take kindly to those sorts of daily heat cycles. Electronics has always had one major enemy and that is heat what a dumb move from Bosch that was,any wonder the Germans lost two world...
