Got the house but a nice Tesla x wid ludicrous mode would be great

Meh i have my dream 1989 Brumby, stock standard, fun to drive only owes me $1000 so I guess it all depends on what is your dream car

Holy Crap, the lux is $183,brumby $ 148 Interesting the brumby is 5 seats SUBARU MPV 1.8 4WD 5 SEATER 1800cc PETROL (1989) $98 for the Missus' Estima, To be honest the information is pretty sketchy at best

Coolant is necessary, it has a life span, usually about 5 years and do we know when it was last changed ? Once again a few dollars to change the brake fluid ( also has a life span and is anhydrous so sucks water out of the air) is cheaper than caliper rebuilds Going on that getting rid of your waste engine oil is getting harder as well ( I will take as much as I can get as I heat my house with it )

The quoted price seems reasonable, oil quality is the big thing, if you cheap out on the quality of oil why even change it. $95 an hour for a car tech is pretty much the going rate,You want to get big bills try heavy diesel tech ( I am one ) servicing takes time to do right, and you want it done right, which of course brings up another reason to get a dealer to do it WARRANTY, the work will come with a warranty.

I have a complete BC/BF water to air setup spare if thats what you are going to intercool it with

or a trick the old school guys do double up the sway bars

Your insurance should pay for it

other than fitting spring from a different subaru you will be buggered, ( you think suspension mods on an SVX are difficult you should try Brumby/Leone) The only downside to using springs from a legacy/impreza are these cars are no where near as heavy especially on the front end so the springs could easily end up having the wrong spring rate for the SVX and ruin its ride/handling, it may take a bit of investigation and trial and error.

@DacerX I have parts

I got BNT to special order in a set of front rotors for the brumby, DBA had them listed so I said thats what I want, took awhile but i got them does help that I spend a few grand a month with them

I wonder how the Fark i first found that

not sure what plans are for weekend yet ( most likely working) BUT if I am not needed may turn up on Saturday, can we pay on day and as i will be alone do i need a co driver ? will be in brumbeast if I do come ( and no I dont think brumbeast will be any good on the track only maybe as mobile chicane )

Anything happening next week ? will be in the area !

Checked by parts haul, could only find my rear crossmember dont even know where the front one is, so no front rotors sorry, if I find it I will let you know

What could work is finding out which brand of phone is better in marginal areas, some have better aerial setups than others ( I know sony does) if you get that aerial setup, try and find a phone that has an external aerial jack ( The Spark ruggedised one use to not sure if it still does, the CAT phones do as well)

I will give you 3 guesses as to mine ( I dont think I have actually posted a photo )

I do not think that the ECU in the SVX is tuneable. Any sort of tuning will help regardless of the induction. the gains may not be noticeble in a NA is all, but they will be there

Yeah same as mine, NZ new The EJ repower although sounding good would cut the resell to almost nothing

I have nothing suitable, and i am in the NI, Only engine I have that I would be willing to part with has been sitting outside under a cover for 5 years so dont know how good it is. 5-6k seems high,could be a burnt valve causing low compression I would be investigating further

Hahaha I cheated I brought my partner a V6 Estima when we had our first baby ( I already have 2 older kids so we already out grew anything "normal") which is lucky as we now have 2 and a 1/2 so that brings kids upto 5 this leaves me with my hilux, my RX11 coupe and the Brumby with no carseats Ya me

The Brumbeast got some loving New front rotors, and Pads and calipers cleaned and painted, New LHF outer CV, new LHF inner CV boot and a clean and repack ( also flipped the inner ball holder thing to give the balls a new surface as I found that inner CV's for these are very hard to find) New Spark Plugs,Rotor and dizzy cap ( one of the 2 new ones I have in stock) Reset the tappets to try and quiet them down and lastly fix a couple if exhaust leaks RHF front rotor, this is what happens when some one previous puts the carrier bolts back in without the spring washers and the end of the bolt is ground away by the rotor MMMM new shiney rotors All fitted back up, painted the backing plates and hubs as well MMmm yellow, the overspray was from a wee touch up they had 2 coats done on them

could well be the case

I have the VIRM for light and heavy and PSV on Tabs
