Keeping 4 speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Will keep 4 speed until i can find a good 5 speed D/R, planning to fit taller tyres so the extra ratios of the 5 speed will come in handy. Plan is 1. get new motor in and running 2. fix rust and tidy up exterior 3. tidy up interior, new seats etc etc. 4. lift and bigger rubber 5. engine playtime. 6. Lets be honest i'll probably get bored by about this time and sell it for a loss, or maybe respray. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isnowi Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Scored an AWD 5 speed today, complete with locking centre diff and dual range, will have to make a custom centre console to tidy up the multiple levers etc. Also got my wheels on friday, 14x6 NOS desert rats, just need to find some tyres now, 27x8.5 r14's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Have finally sourced a suitable donor, thanks to Vai man, a 1992 2.2 gx legacy will be donating it's entrails to the brumby, i'm hoping to get most of the swap done this weekend, then i can go about getting it back on the road. Itching to get sarted, but not winning the lotto means i have to stay at work for another week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Looks like we're in pretty much the same boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I hope to start it this weekend, still need to get my radiator recored and modified, and to find a fuel pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltik Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Good to see it running. What clutch did you end up going with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Good to see it running. What clutch did you end up going with? I'm using ea81 flywheel with ea81 cover and gemini pressure plate. I'm sure it won't last overly long, then i'll look at getting an uprated cover made up for it. Running stock weight flywheel too, i think it'll need it to turn the taller tyres.

keltik Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Ah sweet. Im using the 190mm factory spec piss poor Legacy one and its holding together quite well actually. Doesnt give me any slip issues. So i think youd be ok for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 TBH, having a clutch made of cheese should help the AWD gearbox hold together a bit longer. I haven't opened it so i have no idea how good it is, will probably rebuild it next year and put the low range out of the 4 speed brumby box in (1.5ish as opposed to 1.2ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Oooooh radiator. What'd that sting you? Ive got one with a patched up hole i dont trust and another which is so haggard it struggles to keep the EJ cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isnowi Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Came from Radiator shop in wellingtown, Abel Smith Radiators, i've spent a bit in there over the years, they looked after me pretty good, and he recognised what the old one came out of straight away . From memory it was around $250 including the faffing about with custom water necks etc. Fans are Tardme specials $33 i've reversed the blades and wired em backwards to make em work as pushers. Still have to hide the receipt from the missus, the brumby was supposed to be a cheap build/no such thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealth Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Sorry 4 posting in the wrong thread. Maybe a mod will tidy that up. Looks good tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Mark at Abel Smith Rads is an absolute GC.. Looks after the boys with old cars - he's a bit of a fan of them TBH.. edit - BAM, unintentional double entendre/pun... sick!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 $250....where do i sign. Ive already made some cunty/tricky hoses so the bends wont be a problem. would be mint to have 1 3/4 outlets tho - dont like running silly reducers. Ive got a an EA81 slimline AC fan which fits between the radiator and crank pulley and a Supercheap shitbox pusher on the other side. So all set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Nice job! This is going to be oh so cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Nice , quite like this alot actually, especially making things more factory looking like the switch. Seats look at home , and bet they're 100x better than originals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
