Hi, I am wondering how to make my Subi Brumby roar a bit louder with a new exhaust setup, which doesnt affect the performance (unless it gives it a bit more power, which would be even better) of my vehicle, but is homemade and not too expensive? My car has just had the carby and head gasket done, (p...

Just checked out that thread on the roof consoles, thank you both a heap! Good bits of gear, I will get onto that straight away.

Thanks, SSSM

Ok, sideline the UHF idea slightly, in keeping with the theme of roof mounting, if I was to make a console type thing (check out the bottom of http://www.consoles.com.au/console_designs.htm for a rough idea of what im on about) what would be a good way to mount it?

Thanks again;

I would like to mount a UHF radio on the roof (just in front of the rear view mirror). Short of using double sided tape, any tips on a good way to mount it? Id like to keep it within the cab (ie no holes drilled through the roof to bolt on) if possible, however if I have to, im sure I could come up ...

Ah, why thank you again TOONGA. I will try that right now, wish me luck to not break anything :-S

Hi, I have a '90 Brumby, and the 4WD light remains on, evern though, as far as i'm aware, the 4WD is disengaged? I have tried engaging 4wd Hi then Lo, then disengaging, but even with the shift lever hard to the floor the light still remains on, and I can feel the 4WD disengage. Is it just a dodgy sw...

Hi, what I would like to do is install a set of good driving lights (currently I only have the stock standard lights) for normal highway etc. driving, which is easy enough, however what I want to do is install a second set of lights (the first set are centred, the second set will be on the outside o...

Thanks Phil, much appreciated, thats also a good list of things I will go over on mine when it turns up. Mines done just over 288000 k's, although the oil was good as well as having good new filters etc so its been recently serviced, but I dont know how thoroughly. I am not very mechanically knowled...

PULP generally refers to 98 Octane fuel, either Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate. Not to be confused with the 95 Octane that is also offered. In my neck of the woods, the rule of thumb is that PULP is around 10c/L more than standard unleaded. So to fill (give or take) a Brumby's 55L tank would set you ...

yes use unleaded...but these motors run sooo much better on PULP - esp in summer Ummmm yes topic at hand.... Ah yes my Brumby's fuel (still hasn't turned up yet, bloke cashed the cheque last Thursday, the money left my account 5 minutes later and it's not due to be paid out until Wednesday, bleedin...

Haha nah the hijacking is cool. Just make sure that if it escalates into violence you take it outside. Im assuming physical violence in the forums is against forum etiquette as well?

My apologies, just figured i'd ask while every one was here. Will remember for next time!

Whilst you all are here, what material is best for making a soft tonneau cover for my beast? I cant afford a brand new one at the moment, and i'm not having any luck with any second hand ones. Also, my Brumby has a roll bar installed, so I would need to work around it, and i figured it would be easi...

Thanks TOONGA, this is good to know, makes life a tad simpler

Can I run my (soon to be in my possesion) 1990 Subaru Brumby on unleaded fuel or do I have to use additives?

Oops wrong area, how do I uh.... Delete it?

Anyone know where I can find a second hand tonneau cover? I know where I can get a new one, but I just can't afford the $250 ish, and also I will need to modify it to fit around a roll bar (and I'd rather butcher a second hand one than a new one, also a custom new one would cost more) Any suggestion...
