The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

I've been a member since Jun 2011 and have 431 posts to date!

Since I can't post in the West Oz sub-forum, I almost never look at it.
I'm just finding out now about the Two Rocks event,
and I don't think I can make it, only because I need some tinkering on my L Series...
*Unless a few members feel like tinkering on my L Series Friday evening.*

To go sand driving, I need:

- front bearings replaced
- rear bearings greased
- vacuum leak diagnosis; repair might not be urgent
- unsure if I "need" new tyres just for sand driving; the rears are on their wear-bars


I have some other things I'd like fixed, but they probably won't affect the reliability of my car in sand. Old radiator, but that will probably be fine. I would like to show off RSR 555's 3" lift kit he was going to make for me. *hint, hint* (hehehe) TOONGA would like my 2" lift for his Vortex, but I suspect he'd take his Brumby to Two Rocks.

it would be good to have another red subi on the sand

Nice rig mate!

What motor do you have pushing those big meats?
(US slang for tyres? I read that in car mags)
I think I'd want a bigger motor before going to bigger tyres.
Does it still rub? How did you modify your fenders?
What kind of fuel economy are you getting with them? (I'm at 9.5L/100km)

Any evening before Friday would also be good.
DM me if you think you might be free.

I just don't want to do any sand driving with my L Series in its current condition.
I have new front bearings already, just not installed because I don't have the tools to do it.

I also have a roll of LED strip lights, supposed to be cut-able,
which I thought would be nice on my fender flares to add light immediately in front of the tyres;
better for driving through rocky places at night.
