Old Skool Subbie

Very nice touches Subaru and Toyota have added. I want one badly I just wished I had started saving up since I 1st heard of the concept of Subaru and Toyota started thinking of doing something. Would have had a good deposit. But I didnt have such a good job 1st off, then I became a poor student. Two guys have popped up who are going to buy two of the NZ Brzs. Supostly they are number 1 and 10 on the list I think? We need to put up a Brz/86 areas for techical and Garage areas. Ozzy is having the 86 released there on the 4th or 5th of June I think. They may release them here at same time?

BRZ Exposed by PERRIN http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6914 Interesting read

Had a few near misses with people not giving way to me when Im turning left. I dont make as many right hand turns as I used to. Tend to be to much traffic and takes to long to turn right. So normally go left instead.

Thats ok

I had a mate that over filled his engine with oil... He filled it right up to the top of the filler cap.... Thought it was needed since he couldnt see it, but he was too impaciant to wait for me to help him. Anyway he started it and oil went every where. It smoked so badly Next min it ended up going to the scap yard. was a mazda capaller. Was almost mint.

Is thats what you after?

im trying to scan them now

Ok I give it a look up. Have to do it tomorrow since Im heading off to bed.

lol. Years ago I brought up a big chunk of gen FSM Manuals from a workshop that closed up. I kinda kicked my self. Could have brought a 1st gen forester one aswell. They didnt have turbo legacy stuff.

1989 Service manual for XT. I try look up wiring diagrams if yo still need that info

I got one

I thought there were a whole lot less cars on the road compaired to a normal Monday. I wonder if a whole lot desided not to go into work by car? took bus or sttayed home etc?

Drove past the aftermaft of a accident today. Dont know if it had anything to do with the new rules or not. Dont know what happened. one wee car had its whole intire front bumper grill etc ripped off it. The other pointed wrong way up on the verge.

Man traffic around my way was pretty quite today. Lot less than there normally is. Didnt hear any crashes yet. Be interesting to see what tomorrow is like. With every one under stress, trying to get to work, Running late.. etc

Ive been thinking I may eventually replace my Legacy with a Forester. Im only really interested in a NA manual Ho/Low ratio versons. Looking at a 2003-04 shape one. Mite consider earlyer shape as well. Ive never driven one and Dont really know any one with one. So I really dont know about them. I have a few questions. What the fuel eccommy like? How does the storage in the back compair to the likes of a 1990 Legacy? Is the back cargo storage area wider the 90 Legacy? What tends to go wrong? Whats the max you can Tow behind one? What do they handle like? Thank you

Submarine Spares imported a back cut of a Baja here and fitted it to an Lancaster or outback body. Looks good too.

I was looking at the press today and came accross this.... http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/6615791/Are-you-ready-for-the-law-change Looks like the only thing they are going to change in Christchurch is increasing the length of the right-turn phase at traffic lights.

I think you can have the light bar too. But it has to be phsicly covered up so if the lights were put on you couldnt see it. Once I was quite keen to buy a ex police Legacy and Restore it to how it was new in Police use.

The other day I saw a heaps of XV driving around chch. I quite like the look of them.

Could be used as an anti theift device lol

Thats a very interesting way of removing the outer steel pannels off the vehicle :

No Turbo in either Toyota, Scion or Subaru for a couple of years. They may consider a turbo verson later down the track for midcycle refresh...? May have to wait for the new Turbo motor to come out in 2014 before any turbo verson is consided?

Heres a few other leaked bits and pieces....

For those that are interested. Some specs/ Options have been leaked from Toyota Ive just finished reading all 23 pages so far... Very interesting Ive just copy and pasted all from ft86 club forum. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2096 Heres the jist of things
