You got any subies on the road at the moment? My brumby is so nearly back on the road. All rust is out, ready for paint but it's pretty much raining every day in Wgtn and I don't have a garage. Got a road trip planned first week august to see pixies concert in chcch and also pick up a rollbar i bought on tardme so it's gotta be going by then. You don't need any 1400 headgaskets do you? pm me if you do.

Megasquirt! If EFI is set up right, you don't need dual maps. If you want to cruise, go easy on the pedal. Plant your foot and it'll squirt heaps of juice in there.

awesome, well done. stereo's be a great idea, just make sure you use polyprop/kevlar cone speakers not paper ones.

the sun always blazes in wellington on waitangi day.

I'm entertaining my old man most of weekend he's up for teh 7s, but if you like reggae, then one love on saturday daytime is your thing http://www.eventfinder.co.nz/2010/feb/w ... -love-2010

Restarting work on my '81 subaru brumby. It's the same as waimaks but red.

The mig did a good job on the holes, but found some steel down the back that needs to be replaced. Good thing it's a long weekend in wellington.

Want to fill holes left when removing trim from along sills. What's the best/easiest method? could just use mig to cover them over directly but is there a better way?

I've seen conversions people have done with a EJ22 into a brumby, Phiziinza did one in OZ with a cool hybrid gearbox: http://offroadingsubarus.com/ej22swap_f ... ngine.html A quick google brought up this thread which says the quad cam won't fit, only the 2cam EJ22: http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15828 The brumbies are just cut down wagons, chassis is the same. Everything you can do to an EA81 car you can do to an 82+ brumby. lots of info on http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/ if you haven't come across that already. I so want a good set of heads for my EA81, an EJ definitely won't go into my 81 brumby without help from

I know a guy who was selling a turbo ea82 rally spec, approx 150 at the flywheel. Let me know if keen, I'll se if it's still about. It has sat for a number of years though, so condition a bit unknown. Siamese exhaust, so this engine doesn't have huge power potential. I think the WRX spec ones were ~200HP Any brumby '82 on will fit an EJ straight in. Best option for power + reliability, the EA82s blow a gasket at the first sign of overheatin I'm told.

My mate in England built a singer chamois racecar, that thing was so much fun!

that sounds ridiculously cheap.

supposed to start 9:30ish weather permitting

I always carry it officer. Some people are all about the starvin children in Africa, me I can't stand to see those trees suffer.

good spot for it, can make mucho noiso.

oh this is it http://www.hccc.org.nz/webpage/21

spotted while out for a walk yesterday

Will be bummed if it's true they the only ones who can find parts for my car. shitty recession.

+1 for pitstop guys ass. if your pipes are too fat you lose power as the exhaust gases flow slower -> less scavenging. reducing diameter to optimum will increase power but not due to backpressure. don't know what optimum is for your motor but someone here probably will.

yeah go back to saved game and buy a mig

Bought the hubs/rotors/calipers I need for the vented fronts, $50 delivered. Nice. Hotrod guy at work has convinced me I need to supercharge it. Or did I convince him to supercharge his bucket? gonna keep it oldschool and run a suck through carb setup. Obviously that means no intercooler and mild boost but should go good. the m45s seem to be less common and more pricey on the ebay uk market since the minis swapped to turbs motors a year or two ago. There used to be heaps available with very low mileage. Might just go toyota sc12 route as there's heaps and they're cheap. Got my workshop - a shipping container. Getting it wired up and will build benches/shelves etc over the next couple of weeks.

I had a mk2 astra in england that went up to an indicated 100mph. I bought it for 200 quid so i was pretty impressed with how well it did. never managed to kill that thing and sold it for 330.

Gutted ... no subaru shizzle. rarespares will charge about 250 for windscreen seal, was hoping to get it cheaper + door seals
