Another quick one- anyone know off the top of their head how big the passenger side rack and pinion bush is on a BE5B Legacy? Apparently there is two different sizes but the one I'm looking at is 25mm
Bring it round, we'll measure it!
25mm sounds way to small BTW.
Edit: ahh, width of bracket, now I remember! Measure it fella!

yes - you can convert to manual, you'll need some donor seats. Any gen3 should do the trick, as you'll only be using the sliding and tilt mechanisms (not any of the bolstering). I'm not sure if there were simpler mechanisms - my outback had tilt on the back and seat, plus a bolster adjustment in the backrest. Electric had no bolster adjust.
I put GTB (leather/cloth) seats in the front of my outback. The electrics were dead (and they weigh a tonne..as you noted), so I merged the nice GTB seats onto my outback manual mechanism (drivers side only - passenger was not electric).
Its not too difficult, but maybe not too obvious at first glance.
For the seat part (where your bum goes) - swap over the cover and all the bolstering. The steel tub under the seat differs from manual to electric, so you need all the metal from the manual seat up to and including the tub.
For the back - the electric back simply unbolts at the pivot point, while the manual one is riveted on. I couldn't find an obvious way to remove the rivet (I think one end may have a circlip) - but if you pull up the backrest cover, you'll find there are two bolts on the driver's side pivot mechanism you can undo - then bolt that onto the manual mechanism.
Its pretty clear once you pull the covers and have a look at them.
This is good to know! Cheers!
Now to find a manual seat...

I say chaps and chappette's, does anyone know if it is at all possible to convert a BE/BH RS or GTB drivers seat from electric adjust to manual?
Had a quick look at it compared to the passengers seat, and its quite different underneath, mainly because of the tilt adjusty bits.
Did any 3rd Gen Leggy's come with a manual full adjust seat?
If not I might have to fabricate some brackety bits to remove all the electric gubbins, cos they weigh a ton!
Reason is I have acquired Mr B4 I was 250T's old seats for the track hack, until we can afford a roll cage and some race seats, and don't want/ need the electric adjusty bits.

I got a replacement for my 2000 GT-B engine for $1500 from an importer, came with a 3 month guarantee, someone up in your area may have something to suit your car.
I did fit the engine myself, so no idea how much that would cost to get done!

I say old bean, the 24-25th of September works for us, after Flat-nats!

Poked my head under the wagooon to check the swaybar link lengths, and noticed the rear muffler/ fart cannon is barely held on, as the outer skin is cracking around the welds on the mounting brackets.
Plus its all scraped up underneath, and has at least one hole in it, so its not long for this world anyway.
So no Dukes of Hazzard impressions till I can bust out the welder and get all Albatross turd on it.
Might have to last till I get my shizen together and fit the downpipes and new 3" zorst I have planned.

none at all (yet) that I know of
no reason why you cant just come along & enjoy the meet
that includes Masterton on the Friday, Manfield on the Saturday and the Airstrip on Sunday (Show & shine has been moved to Fielding Airport)
Chuur!!
Thought I'd better check before going all that way and not being able to see anything!!
Hopefully next year we can drag the track hack up and make some noise doing skids and wheelies.

Just had a thought, do I need tickets to events to spectate?

Cleaned the interior, bloody dog left half his fur in the back, took 4 hours of vacuuming, and pulling all the panels out to get it out of the carpet!

Mine would do that sometimes when the knock sensor was a bit dickey, so it could be that.
Or it might be some other sensor, which is not dead enough to trigger a CEL, but is not functioning properly either.

Epic thread bump!
Tripped over the BP5 struts I have in the garage, which did not fit my BH5 top hats, as the stud on the top of the damper was way too short.
Can that stud be changed over as well or is it super permanently attached?

Some MaDaz's are all good, early RX7's, I've always liked RX4's, as long as its not stupidly loud, but a Demio??
