My first contact, I suppose you'd call it was on a ghost tour of all things at Port Arthur in Tasweiga a few years back. While on the tour we went past/through some kind of chappel or church. Upon looking back at the structure from the next installment of our tour, in the top 'window' I swear to thi...

Or anyone who's launched a wrx or RS for that matter.

Would be good to have a bike entry from a forum member Brumby Boy.

I remember that drive too Danger. Someone hogged my radio and I just sat there driving. :)

Something like that. Build it yourself if you know how or just get that one.

If you're ordering more team shirts like the ones we have I'll get a couple of XXL's for myself and Nathan. I'd assume his g/f would like one too but I'd hate to guess her size. I'll just ask and report back.

As for the jacket, sounds good.

Storm, some great inventions started in the backyard, front yard, with some half baked idea. If we all sat back and said it wouldn't work we'd be still sitting in a cave eating raw meat.

Yeah the screen print does stick once hot and bothered. Seeing as though Finke is the major event, long sleeves would be good. Maybe a straight black with something simple and cheap on it to indicate who we belong to. If a flash as rat with a gold tooth jacket was on the card I'd be up for that too....

From subaru australias website - "At present there are no firm plans for Australian introduction. But watch this space"

I bet we'll get it. After all diesel soft roaders are here already - X-trail already and VW will have something later in a few months. They will all come for fear of missing out.

Please, other than typing on in internet forum provide some actual testing evidence yourself by fitting and testing a unit. I'm not here to have an argument, just stating what I've found whilst using a unit. As for the F truck on the dyno, all that changed was the unit was off, then the unit was on,...

As I said in my first post the F truck has been dyno'd. Peak hp was up with the unit on. It's more like 50 watt power draw on the electrical system. And if you'd actually understood what I wrote, you'd find I was expecting it to do nothing as the science suggests. I fail to see that an actual readin...

Inefficient or not, it works on the 3 vehicles I know of that have the system.
Maybe it can be put down to the alternators capability to produce more power than is actually drawn by the vehicles electrical system. After all it's really only like having one halogen headlight running.

Hmm right. So that'd explain why I've not seen any difference in my fuel consumption, nor have the other users I know of.
Clearly you understand the principals of it, but what I'm actually seeing contradicts what the science would suggest.

So you're saying that using electrolysis to produce the gas only when the car is running, cannot net more hp and or torque ?

The trucks had a rough trot too. Looks to be a very testing event, which really is what makes Dakar. Was good to see a 450cc yamaha taking it to all those KTM riders too. Found this lot on wikipedia - Moto class The Moto class is divided between three groups. Group 1 is Marathon, which are nearly un...

I have a unit in my ute now. Have for a couple of months. I thought it would be a load of crap but I can tell the difference when it's turned on and off. Seems to run smoother and be a little more torquey. Two other mates have units in their vehicles too (F100 and GU ute) The F truck has been dyno'd...

I wasn't going to suggest moving the rear anywhere. It seemed to be fairly well weight balanced on the scales at Alice.

I only ask you about suspension because you know more than me. Might just sit back and let you get on with it.
