Just a quick message to wish Brett well, and let everyone know he is in hospital. I hope not, but he may be stuck in there for xmas yet.

Merry Christmas everyone, hope santa brings you all those Suby bits you ordered and you have a fantastic new year. Take care.

Xmas Cheers from
Grant, Kim & family

I talk from experience when saying you will actually tend to blow more cv`s and snap half shafts with a locked diff than without. Hence the reason locked diffs arent recommended in some vehicles as the drive trains arent strong enough to cope.

What model Suby are we talking about?

Personally I would simply copy what Brumbyrunner has done to his box and be done with it. If you get stuck with a box like that then you need driving lessons more than you do locking bits.

.....If only we had his budget, anyway I thought the post was about rear diffs, not gearboxes.

I think the issue was there seems to be little point spending big money on a locking rear diff if you only have a worn viscous centre diff. There would be little point in spending big money on any kind of LSD or locker if your centre diff is stuffed. Factory non turbo viscous centre diffs have only...

This whole idea of any "differential" transfering driving force from a tractionless wheel to another is BS . They transmit something up to equal force to both sides in the hopes that one wheel has as much or more traction than the other . A viscous LSD in the rear practically runs as an open diff w...

I cannot get my head around how a locker makes any difference to the centre diff,other than to help it, lockers dont give you any "extra" traction, they simply help to stop you losing traction you already have, losing traction , ie: a wheel in the air, which can create large amounts of different whe...

I am sure Brett looked into getting some more of the Detroit style lockers made last year, they were a reasonable price and I think he said they only needed a minimum of 15 to be made. Brett might fill us in a little more.

I honestly dont think they have a clue how much oil there is. Technology will find cheaper and better ways to extract it and we also have shite loads of natural gas available too, why this is not used more in Australia is a puzzle, but I am sure it has something to do with the oil companies, after a...

LOL, thats funny, so what are you going to do with the "moron" that disconnected it when you get a hold of him?

Did you sort that front locker out?
If so what was the problem?

Cheers

I was just thinking that you can mount the generator outside the container, fit a few recliner lounges and some sat TV so the pit crew has some thing to do while you're racing. Oh, did I mention reverse cycle air con? After all we are going to have your car so reliable we will just be there to spec...

The list is huge, found on www.google.com.au Major products of oil refineries Asphalt Diesel fuel Fuel oils Gasoline Kerosene Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) Lubricating oils Paraffin wax Tar Petrochemicals Specialty end products Oil refineries will blend various feedstocks, mix appropriate additives,...

My thoughts exactly, obviously the clubs best interests werent considered.

I`ve had two RX`s and ran both of them on 15psi for years without out any problems. Had a TT Legacy AIR/AIR intercooler, dont bother fitting an EJ just for reliabilty reasons as they will give you just as many if not more problems as the EA in the long run. Just dont expect to turn the boost up on t...

Andrew T, maybe you need to take the same view as the subaru club editor......As quoted in the QLD "Subanews" magazine.....

"If you find mistakes in the Subanews, please consider it put there on purpose. We try to publish something for everyone, and some people are always looking for mistakes!"

You may have just scored a bad batch of fuel, go an complain to your local servo where you bought it from, maybe other customers have been complaining too. My daughters EFI L series pings it nut off when ever I buy fuel from the local woolworths caltex, so wont buy it from there again. My old carbie...

I would avoid a deep cycle battery as a starting battery as their not designed for a high instant load...

Another reason to use a deep cycle marine battery.

I have been running a voltage senitive relay(VSR) for my dual batteries for over three years now, and touch wood it has worked perfectly, I use it to charge two deep cycle marine batteries, one is my start battery and the other is for the fridge etc. I was told to get this type of battery as they ar...
