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

G'day everyone,

Next weekend i'm picking up a 1986 Brumby with running gear from a 2001 STI Forester, took it for a test drive & it's quick & fun ! also looks pretty standard which is how i'll keep it, sleeper style.

had 2 Subarus before, a 1999 Forester that was so reliable & had no trouble at all ( untill mrs wrote it off...) & a 1998 WRX wagon that was nothing but trouble.

looking forward to browsing the forum & finding info & also sharing / seeing cool subaru's.

cheers ! chinski

Great looking Brumby welcome to the forum

Welcome Rick

Hey Tigger is back

As for the Brumby, looks very clean. Got more photos of it?

One thing to watch is the brakes, they are 4 stud hubs so much smaller than any STI brakes or even WRX and wont have the repeated stopping power. Is the rear discs or drums?

i only have the carsales photos at the moment so here they are.

it has the Forester STI dash, steering wheel, auto transmission selector, has STI engine, trans, rear diff & inner CVs, outer CV's still brumby, 4 stud brumby discs on the front ( i will be looking to upgrade these ) & L series turbo discs on the rear, 2 inch lift i'm going to remove so it's back to standard heaight, not lowered just not lifted, i already have a bumper to replace the bullbar, also it has had a respray in the gold which looks good i think.

i also want to try to paint the rear muffler or dull down the chrome so it doesn't stand out so much.

wow looks great. hope to this this around the Gold Coast some time
