I do like the L series. Decent storage in the wagon area, good aproach and departure angles.
If I waste the LCA setup I could very easily shove the driveline package into any other suby I like anyway, standalone ecu makes that simple. Might go a Gen4 Outback maybe one day.

I'm curious about the fitting of the Liberty engine crossmember & LCA's As far as I know I was the first to do this way way back with the first Monsterwagon, as part of the huge 6" lift kit. There are photos etc in my other Monsterwagon thread I think. It's just a matter of making the lift blocks w...

Build details coming!

Lots of time yes, but really it could have been done alot quicker if I had more free time. It's been done basically 15 minutes at a time.

The Audi rims don't really look that good but I'm going for functionality over looks really.

Many photos will come, stay tuned

I organised a DCCD centre from an STI 5speed gearbox. This was a straight swap onto the back of the dual range SF gearbox, quite easy to do. I hear there are some difficulties getting a DCCD centre to fit but if you get one with the whole housing, it's just a straight swapover. http://i.imgur.com/ey...

Organised a new clutch kit to suit the SF gearbox. This was bought from ABR in Osborne Park and it's an Exedy kit, although not quite the same. Apparently they're made in the same factory but don't come with the pink paint. This is a new heavy duty pressure plate, new clutch disc, and new spigot & t...

More photos of the engine bay getting more primer, and finally getting white. I got some spray cans mixed up in the original paint code to match the car "Arctic White". http://i.imgur.com/RtaSfoC.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/PJs6D3Y.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/UFpEwPf.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/x87EStN.jpg?1...

So at this point while the engine bay was clear it'd be a good idea to tidy it up alot, see about fixing some rust, and put some paint here and there. Rusty spare wheel well: http://i.imgur.com/WH80dGg.jpg?1 Manky engine bay, just starting to rub it back a bit with sandpaper: http://i.imgur.com/ADVq...

So I guess the first step is to remove the EJ22 currently sitting in the car. *yoink* http://i.imgur.com/9zFL93N.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fXFJ2h4.jpg Both motors sitting in front of the car in the shed: http://i.imgur.com/4s9y7E2.jpg?1 Next I decided to lower the EZ30 into the car. I was keen to find ...

Many of you would remember the original Monster Wagon – 6” body lift, EJ20turbo, RWD gearbox intended to mate to a Nissan divorced transfer case (transfer case never actually happened). Info thread here: http://ausubaru.com.au/showthread.php?t=6143 It was a bit crazy, although I did prove the concep...

Hi all. Introducing Monsterwagon 2.0 as she currently sits. http://i.imgur.com/w84ry0w.jpg I will write up a massive build thread at some point soon - I have a heap of photos from along the way. But basically, I wrecked the previous Monsterwagon as the body was stuffed. Purchased another wagon of th...

As above - keep it in a proper garage is pretty much the number one thing.

RSR Performance has a facebook business page. The number is listed as (08) 9592 9555. Understandable to steer clear of facebook, but you can just sign up for facebook using whatever fake name you want when you need to contact people or businesses on there. Same difference signing up for any internet...

God speed, wishing you and the family a safe and mechanically uneventful trip back, I'm sure Ruby Scoo will get you all home in style.

hey that's awesome you're suddenly over here! I'm just hanging out at home in Jandakot tomorrow but could pop out somewhere if you are around. My L series is now driving, and it might want to meet Ruby! I think I have a couple of my old brass dualcore radiators (modded to suit EJ) sitting around if ...

Ouch sorry to hear it. Dare you post a photo of the damage? I was pretty poor with grinder safety in this regard myself...I wear glasses normally, so I often didn't both wearing goggles when using the grinder because hey, I already had glasses on anyway. Bad idea because they aren't enclosed and sur...

It's always been confusing for people because of the terrible accuracy of parts listings. Also "L Series" just doesn't sound like the same of a car. The wagon's don't really say the name of the car anywhere on them either. Last week there was an L series wagon advertised on Gumtree here as a "1987 S...

El-Freddo I thought you had some kind of mental triple core radiator, did you change it at some point?

Hi Donkey Tits, Sounds like a cool project! Here are some thoughts of mine: - Yes you have to use a push clutch if you want to run a dual range 5speed. Only way to use a pull clutch is to use a turbo gearbox (none of which have dual range). The bellhousings are quite different. - Just use an Exedy h...
