having recently 'lost' a car to thieves - see the avatar picture - i can reccomend shannons. But as per the advice so far, just beacuse the insurance company does not ask about mods does not mean you do not have to tell them...if in doubt, read the fine print. These policies are written and re-writt...

with the upgraded wiring do not be tempted to go crazy with increased wattage globes. I did the same in my old L, & put in 90/175 (or there abouts) globes...cannot remember the exact wattage but it was near 500W with driving lights on high beam Light was good, but not that much better, for the hassl...

I think they were a one-size-fits-subaru-and-toyota, with toyota having a blank for HVAC controls. Maybe a corona??? Bo...

Strongly reeccomend the following for a carb EA82 2 inch is plently - buy a new cat (high-flow sports version), x1 cannon mufler + a sports muffler. Some will advise against a cat at all - aside from from upsetting the EPA, you risk a fine, and the shop as well - up to $10,000. I gained better eccon...

I reckon they look great - go for it.

I searched for ever when i was running sunnies for an alternative - i finally went to Bridgestone to buy the 'modular' style wheel, only to find they had ceased production of the 4x140 pattern a few months before...they do suit the era - goodluck

Thanks again guys, No doubt the passion and know-how people 'round here!! Ben, the SEAT GTI was a sporty 2 door with either a 2lt or 2lt twin cam in aust at least. The VW Golf VR6 'fits' into the SEAT GTI - which essentially is a narrow golf, but cheaper and with poorer build quality. You are quite ...

How long before an engine blows?

In a previous life, at VW meets the organisers wouyld occasionally set up an old motor, run it flat out, taking bets on when it would let go.

Have an old EA82 - blows smoke, is a real dud...but runs.

How long do you reckon it would run for at WOT?

Brumby VS duke on Youtube

Some may have seen this already - a red brumby complete with turbo poking thru the bonnest versus a Ducatti 996 in country NSW i'm guessing

Very sweet sound indeed - from both machines.

Type in 'subaru' in the youtube search function and turn up the sound
