He hates auto's, even in luxo-sleds. And club fields, some of their roads are... dodgy at the best of times, let alone with snow on them. He also like going into the boonies and running/ mountain biking in strange places at the end of tracks which a "normal" car wont make it down.

True... Wonder if it would be easier to stick Outback suspension under a Legacy. He's after ground clearance, for ski-roads and the like, and is sick of driving 4wd utes.

Roger, I thought that would be the case. Pity manual Outbacks are rarer than toothed hens, they would be perfect for what he wants!

Do any of you fine people know which gearbox and associated gubbins one would need, to convert a BPE 3litre Outback to a proper box, as in manual! Some nutbar bloke what that I know is considering such a swapsies.

One with the Legacy fronts on the front and Flat Life on teh back would be cool. Actually looking closer, its the reverse of that shirt anyway!

Stuck a can of Upper cylinder cleaner through it. OMGWTFBBQ!! How much crap came out the exhaust!! Where did it all come from? there cant be that much space inside the engine!! But oh boy oh boy oh boy did it make a difference, engine revs better with less farting around, seems to make moar powah (which may just be me imagining things, but you never know!) and idles smoother. Next thing on the list, spark plugs this weekend.

Works sweet as for me.

Indeed, tis of interest to me as well!

It is a tad silly that your car is apparently different from my 2000 GTB, even though the chassis is identical. I think some herp derping has gone on at ACC or whoever was in charge of the classification debacle!

Yep, its pretty black or dark grey smoke smoke! Not white or blue anyway which is a good thing. You should be able to hear if your BOV is venting at the time, I can hear it from inside my car!

Yes... Theoretically you could get 550k/ tank, but you'd have to run it completely dry! I start looking for servo's at 400, looking really hard at 450! Mind you my fuel gauge does that weird thing of dropping to empty randomly, so I don't trust it even when it isnt on E.

I'm using about 11-12 litres/100k in my BH5 GTB, driving like a nana... So as its about 650k each way, that would be approximately 150 litres of fuel total, at say $2.10 a litre that's about $315. Make cents? Of course one would have to resist using the loud pedal too much to achieve that... easier said than done! (Dammit, Ninja'd by boon!)

Found it! Removed it, will see if it makes stuff happen tomorrow.

Aha! The pill I am talking about is the 2.0mm one in that diagram, so should I be removing the 1.5mm one as well? Might as well give it a whirl Trev, unless its going to break stuff...

Not sure as I don't have a boost gauge yet, I'll try it without it on the way home tonight, see what it does.

The pill in mine was in the line from the manifold to the BOV, not sure if its meant to be there or not, does anyone else know?

Interesting... Wonder why the difference? Might try it without the pill again, now its generally running better anyway, just in case it wasn't that making it run weird!

Mine had a pill in the hose 10 between the manifold and the BOV, ran rather weird without it, so might pay to check its still there.

Hey, I resemble that comment! All my young hooning was done in a 1300 MK1 Escort, or a Hillman Hunter though, which is possibly why I'm still alive...

I bought it a towbar, which may need some hacking to fit as its for a Lancaster, but I can has big hammerz and der weldurp!!

So I found the battery earth terminal was loose as a goose, tightened that, and we'll see if that helps. Still can't find the dodgy stereo connection, the right channel keeps dropping to about half volume randomly, annoying!

Hopefully no-one here is seen on it...

Coolies, might grab a can or two next week, poor car most likely needs it!

Epic thread dredge! Has anyone bought any of this high tech evil chemical recently, and if so how much was it?

Ahh, true, will check that point. The stereo does have a dodgy connection somewhere anyway, might fix that see if it fixes both issues.
