Adopt a Brumby

Anyone want to adopt a brumby project? can have it a rolling shell with a couple of hours work. Engine and gearbox are stuffed, bit of rust in the body not sure of extent, almost everything required to do a 5 stud conversion, including modified control arms, drive shafts, CV's, hubs, rotors, clutch ...

I didn't think there was much to discuss, springs and sheet metal touch, options would be move sheet metal or use narrower spring. I'm opting for the latter.

yeah crossbred my bad yeah the issue with the struts I have is the fact the spring and spring top rub excessively, so I was thinking of getting some coilovers and was wondering if the same thing can be done with them, unbolt the coilover top and bolt on the standard brumby one.

Brumby front coilovers with standard hats

Is it possible to use a coil over with a standard brumby hat on it as I'm having issues with the WRX struts for my 4 stud kit not fitting and after having a try have determined I don't have the patience to massage the body till they fit.

Partly out of interest, partly because I think it would look tough and allow you to not destroy the turning arc by putting fat tires on the front.

Ok. lets say EJ25 NA engine, VLSD center diff, Used for on road daily driving and perhaps with a clutch LSD in the rear.

The idea is 245/50R16 rear and 205/60R16 front which is a 0.2% difference in speed or something similar.

Tolerance of a LSD

Guys out of interest, how much tolerance would a standard NA diff have as far as speed difference between front and rear wheels before it started to cause noticeable effects on the car. Just thinking of different tire sizes front and rear, would say .5 km/h difference at 100km/h cause the differenti...

Anyone with deep pockets? The H1 V8 is a 2.8 (or new 3.0!) liter 32 valve V8 which weighs less than most 4 cylinder engines and is about the same size. The engine is ideally suited for track cars and other lightweight race or recreational vehicles which have been limited to 4 cylinder engines for si...

For the sake of not getting fines just use a high flow cat. Hollowing out a cat serves no benefit over a good cat because a hollowed out cat can still be picked up by the transport guys by checking the temperature of it, and a hollowed cat can cause exhaust pulses thus creating a performance decreas...

Well you have done a lot of things beyond my knowledge but I got a similar issue when my head gasket was leaking, are you using much water? try pulling off the blow by hose and driving about and see if the problem occurs, it stopped mine getting the issue kind of annoying white plume of steam though.

Am i supposed to replace the standard brumby washer with that pack of 3 or are they supposed to all be in there (4 washers) as i have found...
