The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Probably a good idea to start your own thread rather than use someone elses ;) + 1 Not sure on the markings (mine still have the 3.7 LSD stickers!) but the simple test is to jack up the rear of the car and rotate one of the wheels. If the other side moves/spins in the same direction you have an ope...

You've shut the carbie heat line off? I personally wouldn't run without the carbie heat line down in Vic - it gets cold enough to freeze the intake area there. Our VW paddock bomb had issues with this due to the exhaust heat line not working because it was blocked with carbon. I'd still run the hea...

Ultimately Subaru designed these models with postive camber so there is really no need to make any changes.

Hopefully it is just head gaskets or a welch plug! The EA82T is quite notorious for cracked heads - especially if they are overheated a few times. I would contact Frog as there are quite a number of seals you might as well replace while doing the heads. The reinforced O rings for both the cam cases ...

A Weber will not give you more power on its own. If the original Hitachi carb is not working well then a Weber will give much better drivability. The choke mechanism of the Weber is superior IMHO. With a Weber the key word is 'drivability' not power. Certainly SPFI would give more power and torque (...

Perhaps it is time to make sections for the "new" subarus :) USMB has sections for each decade or pairs of decades (couldn't find a word for 20 years) this could be emulated and as well we could ad specific areas within each section for relevant material. It would make it easier to find info for ev...

It would help if you inform us of what model and year is your Subaru but from you have described (and Silverbullet has already detailed) you have a part-time 4wd Subaru. This means the transmission is locked when in 4wd and you will not be able to turn on hard surfaces such as bitumen. There needs t...

Yeah has to be a Morris with a modified firewall...

The Minor was originally designed to have a flat four but it never happened.

Something English? A Morris Minor perhaps? Not a lot of space in the engine bay!

Late 85 and compliance in 87.. I can't see that happening. Usually only takes about 3 months. Similar story to my RX, seems the RX Turbos (or GLTAs) bound for Oz spent some time sitting around before being complianced. I remember some time ago reading that the bodyshells were assembled prior to the...

What did it succumb to? Rust or boredom?

OK, Gen I history lesson! There are two stages of the Generation I Leone: Stage 1 - 1973 (in Oz) to early 1977 Stage 2 - 1977 to 1979 (1981 for the Brumby) While stage 1 and 2 look superficially the same the only bits that are the same are the front and rear windscreens, roof skins and some panels s...

Oh and IMHO these are the rims you should be looking for to use on your coupe:

Nice coupe ImprezaSRX but you should let everyone see it without needing to click on a link:

Sublime I agree not enough Gen 1 action, we'll have to meet up. I'm currently organising importing a fair bit of Gen 1 bits from NZ, let me know if you're after any particular parts. Interesting! Cromwell Auto Recyclers? What I desperately need at the moment is a Gen I stage II ('77 to '81) bonnet!

Don't do that Willy, there is not enough Gen I action here as it is!

Damn you Tweety! Why does stuff like this always come up when you can least afford it!?!?

Oh well, good luck with the sale.

What fix? You have not displayed or detailed any fix... Just spruiked for a business.

If the car doesn't have registration you can get a Victorian unregistered vehicle permit and drive it interstate. I've also used it to get insurance for a vehicle. Yes, love the Victorian system! Ring VicRoads, pay your money and drive! Simple and cheap. Just make sure WA recognises the Victorian u...

Nice starting price, not so nice cowl rust!
