Local hire shop will have the spring clamps. Ive already sorted some for when I finally sort some springs. $11 for the half day I think.

How much did your springs set you back and are they new or second hand?

Just out of interest; when you installed the clutch reservoir heat shield, did the clutch pedal issues go away?

it must be the fluid your using, i have a 3 inch dump pipe, no heat wrap or shield and the clutch never went funny for me,

The 1994 2.0 litre turbo JDM legacy RS - work in progress.

Firstly I'd like to describe the state of it when it first arrived in my uncles driveway. Food mashed into the seats. crumbs EVERYWHERE, I mean everywhere - like you wouldn't believe. Mud on the doors, floor, seats and ceiling. Food and old lolly pop sticks and popsicle sticks in the door storage, parcel shelf and under the seats. Stains on nearly every piece of upholstery. Grease and brake dust all over the wheels and wheel arch and beyond! Covered in police fingerprint dust, normal dust, and unidentified particles. There was old clothes in the boot, a worn out crappy booster seat in the back. Looked like someone had got old macdonalds, k-fry, coca cola, a big lolly mix and a hand grenade and let it off in the car. When I took the dash off there was stuff there too, including earrings, lolly wrappers and ten cent coins, more about that later. Anyway, mechanically the car appeared fine. It passed its warrant of fitness with flying colours.

Seriously can't decide if I keep this car and manual convert it or sell it and buy a manual. Anyway here's a few I took while taking photos of the bay so I remembered where certain vac hoses went Will take more showy shots when the bumpers had a realignment, lights had a jif, wheels been degrease blasted, stone chips in paint remedied, passenger wingmirror replace or repainted and centre caps been repainted. But for now, it's getting it mechanically sound that's the priority.

Food for the eye

Thought I may as well say whats been done -

Well mainly interior really. Carpet and seats been shampooed and vacuumed. Dash nearly entirely dismantled cleaned and and vacuumed under dash (there was McDonalds fries under the dash and a half eaten biscuit on the parcel shelf! Yes the car smelled funky when I got it) Dash coated in a silicon protection film. New headunit (nothing wrong with old one, just didn't like it) Key barrel replaced. 15000k service - UEC, oil filter, airbox etc... (hasn't done 15000ks since I got it, I just did it as a precaution), BoVs removed and cleaned, vac lines checked for leaks, exterior a quick wash and wax. Wiper blades replaced, so were a few blown bulbs. Engine been degreased. Wheels been degreased once (needs more...) and I think that's it so far...

To do -

FIRSTLY fix/replace those damn turbos, got two lined up - slightly bigger, should put me up with the EJ20R boys. And only costing me $200 for them both! Realign rear bumper, replace a broken piece of dash (the part that covers the bottom part of the steering wheel) Maybe even replace the steering wheel, don't like my current one. Replace passenger mirror, or paint it. Paint centre caps, re-degrease the wheels. Fix aircon console bulbs (they're blown), find some stronger carpet shampoo for the tougher stains, new passenger foot well floor mat, fix cup holder spring (won't eject, needs to be pried out) and last on the list is to maybe do something about the stone chips in the paint on the bonnet, think that might be expensive though... Don't fancy paying for the bonnet to be resprayed.

Hope you enjoyed and thanks for looking

IMO sell it buy manual the bg series is rather hard to manual convert cause of the one plug ecu so i have been told has anyone actually done this???

[ReubenH]

Not an issue for pre 96's as manual and auto both run the 4-plug. It's the post 96 B's and C's that have the ever terrible 1-plug.

[Guest]

will the auto ecu not run with a manual box ?

-smurff

[ReubenH]

The 4-plugs simply have wire telling the ECU if it's auto or manual. Handy.

T1MO iv got spring clamps and done it heaps before

I probably will, but a manual version for the right price (and k's) and that hasn't been thrashed is hard to come by

looking at TM prices (TradeMe, lol), adding a manual box could easily increase this cars worth by $500. And I'd have a lot more fun driving it

[ReubenH]

Don't be so sure. The biggest mistake people do is leave out "MANUAL" in the search feild. I looked on TM at ONLY manual subies for a few weeks before buying mine, there is QUITE a large selection, and it's easy to find a mint car, or a cheap car. Just last month i test drove a very very sound manual GTB the other day for a mate. No ticks, no tocks, no leaks, it was in very good nick... Went for $3000...

Don't even bother looking at autos if you want to get a manual. They will do nothing but distract you.

[aim]

if only I had the cash!

Similar to yours Reuben?

[ReubenH]

From what i can see, yeah. But carjam doesn't work on it. Reserve will be around 6K i reckon, and you run the risk of blowing it's big eng bearing's (i did to mine, joy)

Looks very very nice though, i can go view it for anyone wanting it.

Oooo just found a picture of my first Subaru. Except for the Leone I bought when I was 18 for $250.

I wonder if anyone on clubsub has it. If so, you're very lucky, I spent loads on it keeping it mechanically fantastic.
