there is a sticker printing dude on this web site... i cant remember his name but if ya have a search you'll find him. other than that, any local sticker printing joint can make you one up, they should have the right font

Subaman - from Stickertech. Does a good job, and if you take your own design to him he'll do it. He did my (and Suba's) "Impreza Inside" stickers, as well as the the Backyard Boys and Ausubaru.com ones.

yep.... handing over the keys on sunday so this is now Lapsed's ride... sad to see her go

this has been my pride and joy for the past 3 years, ive modified her, broken her, fixed her. Ive spent countless hours underneath her and in the engine bay, countless hours cleaning THE RED DUST out of her courtesy of MATTIMS driving like a mad man in front of me.

she's taken me many places i would never have gone without her, including some places where we shouldn't have been, JAFFA

she's turned many heads and made a few landcruisers jelous im sure, I never got a chance to prove the DISCOVERY RECOVERY sticker, but im sure she would given the opportunity.

Id like to thanks to Austal ships, the only reason i finished my apprenticeship there was so i could make lots of things for my car and not pay for em, other than that, your bastards

Id also like to thank all the WA crew for the fun times we all had together, all the places you took us, all the times you.ve helped us out of sticky situations, similar to the one JAFFA got himself in up at jarradale by himself and i had to drive out there and rescue him (he knows the time im talking about

)

over the past few years ive learnt alot, when i bought her, i was not mechanically minded at all, everything i did back then took 5 times longer than it should it have, but she's taught me all the tricks and given me the confidence and ability to fix anything i break, for example i managed to replace the gearbox yesterday all by my lonesome:D

my favourite learing moment was when i ttried installing the king springs without spring comressors.... i tried everything under the sun, nearly killing my self a few times along the way. I tried putting everything into the car, tieing the front of the car down, then jacking up the hub to try get the nut on throught the strut top, i made a whacky spring compressor, which sent bit flying through the patio roof. I spent 3 days trying to compress the spring to about 4" tall before i realised the insert in the stut pulls out:oops::oops:

sorry for the long post, but im very sad to see her go, and if she's ever back on the market, trust me, ill have my eyes on her:D

Jaffas name mentioned twice and not one mention of me.... grrr Ej25 would still be not wired up if not for me. Actually the Ej22 wouldn't have been properly either. Talk about un-greatfull... LOL

Yeah very sad to see her go... she has saved Hatchie from some rather damp situations a few times and towed me all the way home from Bells Rapids after a swamping. Very COOL car... i just hope Lapsed treats it with the same respect you did and continues to take it offroading like it was built for.
