Re: Red Targa Brumby
Yeah I’m glad I did the work as driving in the brumby again is awesome but now the carby gremlins are at it again - this time with the idle and powering into the next gear. The issue with powering into the next gear is a momentary lapse of power/acceleration I expect even from the EA81 and I believe...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Neat work with the fuel line! Hijack/side discussion:And how many hives are we taking for that amount of honey? That’s a fair effort! I’m early in my bee keeping journey with a flow hive - I want to clean out the flow frames this winter… anyway, probably should start a new discussion about that! Do ...

Re: Red Targa Brumby
Carb kit put through Redback’s carb. That took roughly six hours from start to finish. Lots of cleaning crud off the carb happened. Then carby cleaner for all the other bits. That stuff is serious business! Probably not good for your skin… At the peak of the rebuild it all looked like this. I didn’t...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Hey SB, you should be able to repin the factory plugs to reuse them with new pins. You just need the correct tool and new pins - Halteck might be able to help out with those items. Could be a good excuse for a u pull it run to get a set of plugs 8-) That TPS reading is concerning and I doubt a new T...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Did you tell your dad he’s funny? Other thing to ask: what voltage does the ECU use for the various sensors and can this be changed within the ECU parameters? If you’re going to the point of a donor vehicle you might as well cut down the factory wiring loom, throw that in and call it a day… What’s t...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Whaaat?? I’m gobsmacked! I can’t work out how so many issues have arisen like this! I’ve never heard of the intake wiring loom being an issue like this. The first thing that came to mind is the earth straps/wires from the body to the engine and gearbox, and the one from the negative battery to the b...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
I hope you didn’t do that work tonight just before it’s off to the dyno tomorrow! I’ve watched these wasps fill the gaps in a crank cam gear on a ledge near my project - amazing how they fill in the round holes as well as the elongated holes! I hope all goes well with the tuning! Will you be driving...

Re: Sister's Gen3 Liberty "Basil"
Subyroo apologies I locked in that your foz was a 2013 model, not a 2003 model with 13 years ownership. Sad ending but kind of good knowing where your car went, what happened to it and that it (I hope) saved its occupants in the T-bone incident that sent it to its grave. SB, damn straight mate! I lo...

Re: Brumby running rough, shuddering and bunny hopping
G’day Will, I sat on this one for a day or so after initially reading your post as this is a perplexing issue. I have an issue with my brumby sometimes where it feels like spark is cut as the clutch is engaged and throttle applied in the next gear up. I don’t know what causes this issue - but I’m no...

You’ll get there Subyroo! Basil has an extra ten years on your Subaru so “there’s still time” :lol: For a long time now Basil sported some offroad expeditions with my sister, well one actually… Late last year I tapped out the ding in the rear quarter that made him look way better even though he’s no...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
Ooh exciting!
You can only ask about the filming. They may ask to not have any identifying features or themselves in the video - you can only ask! Or get them to do it the way they want it…
Now, make sure you sleep every night between now and then!
Cheers

That's all the same bracket, just different stages of completion ;) Ah yes, that’s what I get for looking at the pic with a dim screen under lights… rookie mistake!

Whoa you’re game taking it for a drive of any sort out the driveway! Well done on getting it moving under its own steam! That bracket looks good and solid.

Seems you took our usual summer heat Subyroo! We’ve got max temps in the mid 20s for the next few days before getting back into the early 30s.
Now to listen to the hottest 100 for 2023 today

Re: 1992 project Brumby from Finland
Happy New Year Finnishbrumby! To answer your question about the KYB struts: the factory original oil filled struts are discontinued. The aftermarket KYBs are gas filled. They could be order only if not available on the shelf. Getting a set of struts and springs for the front end sounds like a good s...

That heater two replacement looks intense! Glad to hear the effort was worth it in the end and good advice to avoid this unit too.

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension
I’m glad you got it to come back to life so easily. Hopefully it’s happy days from here on in!
That solid state relay setup, just the relay died and not the pump? Got to be happy with that over a dead intank (expensive) fuel pump.
I’m looking forward to the next update!

Re: Oil Subaru Outback
Not had similar to you but what you experienced with oil consumption and extreme heat makes sense to me. Tolerances in the bore, pistons and rings would be on the upper end of the scale in this situation which would lead to higher/excessive oil consumption. The oil may have passed the rings or blow ...
