The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

I am pretty sure in QLD it is against the law to have the hazards on on a moving vehicle. At one stage in Victoria there was an ad campaign to encourage people to drive with their hazards on in foggy conditions... I've never seen anyone use it though and i havn't seen the ad for a few years now... ...

Hey all, I've finally got ruby scoo on the road... I had a camshaft 180 degrees out :oops: she didn't run too well in that state... rather lumpy and no power. Now she won't idle below 1400 revs, is still pushing out codes in a jibberish fashion, used to over heat at cruising speed - got a new oxy se...

Hello Hello, I got a mate who's dad builds exhausts. He tells me to be careful with an exhaust up grade. Your trying to eliminate any points in the system where it is restrictive or turbulant. Your exhaust is meant to be like a chimney, when it gets hot it helps draw out the exhaust gases, turbulanc...

The saga with Ruby Scoo continues... Now that exams are over and that i have some time on my hands it was time to play with the temporary engine after finding cracked heads on the engine that will replace the temporary one. The temp engine had a problem with the left hand bank, but ran on the right ...

Crashes are always so traumatic, my condolences.

As Jaffa said, the car can be replaced.


Get well soon Jake.

usually 4th is one to one, fifth being an overdrive, that's how the new cars get the good economy with the extra power, noticed we're getting 6 speed manuals in performance vehicles (such as holden) now? anyways, hope this is right, its usually the case, otherwise i don't see any use in the fifth ge...

Hmm... i thought we were all on the same team here? Seems i'm wrong, or there's dessent in the ranks... Since i'm building an EA82, full rebuild, its great confidence to read this sort of thread, even if it is all in jest, or partly... I would say that for all the anti polution stuff that hangs off ...

Hey Johnarentz, I dunno if there are any welsh plugs in EA82 heads, but i'll have a look for you at the next chance i have, as i've got a set kickn around in the shed. I don't see how oil would be getting in the coolant, unless you've got a cracked head between the water/oil jackets, an old 'o' ring...

Hey GTlegs, If going to replace/fix heater core, the easiest way is to remove the dash. There will be plugs near the stearing column, up the back near the stearing column, and near the left and right side panels, an earth wire will go from the dash loom to the gearbox mound... There will be 7 bolts ...

Tim,
Be glad your in a subaru... i'm still in a '78 lancer and i've had my subaru since jan/feb this year... go figure.

Maybe we could go and let down NSW tyres?

Hey MechaWagon,
Will you have any problems with your insurance, or will they just up your fee/preimum?

Or is it just a case of telling them "i've dropped a two litre into my car now"... to update your account?

Cheers

I must have unintentionally hit a nerve here...

I have not time or patience for fishing, i'd rather be working on Ruby Scoo or another subaru.

Just my thoughts

I believe its still being sorted, i have no idea with webpages, but i would imagine there would be quite a bit of work involved...

El Freddo

Just thought i'd open another topic up to level with the number of topics NSW has (2)...

So, where is every one? (most likely in Queensland, that seems to be where most victorians are... i'm going to check their posts now...)

Nice mate,

I got the same sort of thing for the same price, but it's still in the shed being toyed with... i hope to have some pics up later... i've had a set back in that the temporary motor was a little more temp'y than i would have liked it to be...

Here's another... I'm in "don't blink or you'll miss it" Cobaw, near Mt Macedon. I hope to have my Ruby Scoo fired up and on the road by November sometime... then i have to drive in a way i never drive to run the engine in :( But that's just for a short time. Hope to be crusing/4WDing with you all s...

Okay, so after posting that last one, i've discovered that i can't save any info/details, should we just leave this til our old data is recovered?

Cheers

Hey all, Great to see the site up again looking a little like it used to... I thought i'd fix my account to how it used to be, went and change the theme to the Sand journey (i think) and then when to go back to the home page were only the welcome notice appeared with the two side panels... I changed...
