Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Yeah mate nice battery, I’ve only just heard about those lithium batteries with the back up function for starting! What life expectancy can be expected from it living under the bonnet with the engine heat? Remote reservoir in the factory setup sits lower than the PS pump so it must be able to suck t...

Re: 2022 Forester Battery drain
G’day Dick, Being a 2022 model, isn’t it still under warranty? I know that can be a painful process but since it’s the backup power circuit fuse that when removed stops the drain I’m out of ideas without looking at a wiring schematic for your model. Can you tell us what the back up power fuse suppli...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Whoa Sam, I can see why you can’t find space for your remote PS reservoir! That battery is massive!! I’m guessing it’s your all in one for starting and “dual” battery purposes such as running a fridge? Can’t do some magic with the pipe work and relocate it else where? It’s looking good. Any estimate...

Hey Timmo! Sorry I didn't reply earlier! Thanks mate - who knew all this Subaru fun would pay off with something that epic?! Pack a lunch for this one... nothing unusual there! Subinats happened on Saturday the 30th of September 2023. My preparation plans went out the window when I did my back for t...

Re: Whoops - 1985 MY wagon addition!
I’m hoping not to go down the threadsert road if I don’t have to SB! I wouldn’t say it’s saved yet, there’s loads to do. The question is where do you stop? Have you made an inquiry about the two wagons? Both DLs or touring wagons? And how rusty do they look? It could be cool if you can hook someone ...

Re: 89 Targa Brumby
Subi Spanner, the auto L series were all 3.9 diff ratio and I believe many of the early Imprezas were 3.9 ratio too. Good news about that beige brumby! I’ve not heard of rusting out at the base of the A pillar without a hole in the corner above it but I guess anything is possible. Vinyl floor - live...

Re: Whoops - 1985 MY wagon addition!
G’day Suby Spanner, That’s a great trick using the high temp silicone for exhaust gaskets. I’ve done it for many years now but failed to do it to that one in the pic. I put some on the second one today as well as on both of the Y pipe mating surfaces. Worked a treat! As for the struts I’ve already s...

Re: Mighty Car Mods latest build AUG23!
Anyone been contacted to actually buy tickets yet?
It’s got me wondering when they’ll draw the raffle as I had it in my head it would be at Subinats - one of the reasons I decided to head up there this year. Maybe it’ll just be on display to generate more interest. Hmmm…
Cheers
Bennie

Re: Whoops - 1985 MY wagon addition!
So after inspecting my mini me’s work on fitting the steering shaft and knuckle I need to do some investigation work as to why the steering shaft is sitting gently on the CV boot… Hopefully an easy fix. I got the exhaust spacer blocks to fit the later model Y pipes. One side has a port on it for the...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
I’ve got to say that cutting down looms for EJ conversions isn’t as scary as many make it out to be. What you did back in the day Suby Spanner would’ve been difficult but also the way to do it for several reasons. Difficult because you were being paid by a client to produce results and essentially w...

Re: EJ hydraulic clutch to cable clutch for EA chassis conversions
Hey Suby Spanner! Long time mate! Yes you are correct - the 3.9 ratio EJ Liberty gearboxes from the series 1s are hard to find. These have a three bolt input shaft housing the same as the L series. I’m 99% sure (going from memory) that from the Gen1 series 2 gearboxes they went to 3.7 ratio and a fo...

How much are the raffle tickets and how do we get our hands on them? Scroll right to the bottom of this page to register your interest. I don’t know how much they’ll be exactly, we’ll have to wait until those details are released. The good thing is it’s only to register your interest, not how many ...

Nah they didn’t suss out “the most active” member on any forum, just Subarino Dave because his webpage answered what they needed and he had the know how to do what they want. Also interested, Bennie, what were these parts that you picked up. The usual MY wagon goodies that a Brumby doesn't have? Som...

EJ hydraulic clutch to cable clutch for EA chassis conversions
G’day all, After realising that what I thought was common knowledge for this mod is not well known I thought I’d document a guide about how to go about it and what you’ll need. I’ll add a bit about the EA81 cable swap to make this work in a Brumby/MY model relatively easily when dropping in an AWD n...

Re: Mighty Car Mods latest build AUG23!
Good question Bumpty! I think the biggest thing for me was meeting Marty and Moog and discovering that they’re really genuine blokes. As for the build I think it’s just the amount of gear that’s been thrown at it in such a short amount of time. It was even shorter than what I thought it was. I don’t...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Nice one Sam, that’s neat and I’m glad you’ve got a mount for a ground/earth wire so the sender unit works.
What heater tap do you have in there and is that why the top pipe was modified (going by the look of it)?
Cheers
Bennie
