  1. In my 1400 I used Gabriel shocks from a Suzuki Offroader possibly a Viartra? It was slighty different compaired to the original ones. But fitted easly in.
  2. When I 1st got my GSR driving it back thru the North Island in the middle of No where I got up to 96MPH. Throught It was pretty good since it was never touched and carbs and seals were worn. Some vacume leaks around the carbs too. That was with the original 1400 GSR engine in it.
  3. GL or GF? I remember a US guy have a GF coupe? was it that he converted to electric car
  4. I thought the GSR was never sold in the states? GSR is twincarb but only came in 4 speed. RX came with 5 speed.
  5. Hey dude. Ive think Ive mite had heard about that jet boat? Was it in Timaru? Also got any pics of it? Kean to actually see it.
  6. Is a GF hard top different to a GFT? or is it the same thing?
  7. Very true. Things like that caused the most probs on my subarus.
  8. There are pics. I did have copys of them but Ive got probely 27,000+ subaru pics to sort thru The guy is on a Oz subaru site but which one I cant remember. I think I have a few pics on my photobucket some where. Same guy built a ER27 brumby aswell.
  9. I also got 2 and a half Mopeds of the Rabbit varity. Fuji Rabbit S102's I remember a guy in Oz did the same thing in his brumby. Had a EG33 and had the raditor mounted in the back.
  10. Im been thinking of doing this on my GSR for quite a while.... Out of interest how did it preform compaired to the Standard 1400 GSR engine? What was fuel economy like?
  11. Couldnt they get up over 60MPH? Many years ago my dad also had a Lloyd 600 stored at the same guys place. It got stolen and used for a joy ride. It ended up parked up at the park around the road from our place. Dad only found out when a policeman came to our door and told him it was parked there.
  12. Dad used to have a Lloyd Forward control van. Was a Odd looking thing. Its still around and is being restored by some guy up north. Also dad knows a guy that used to have a Goliath van with the two stoke direct injection engine. Werid thing was it got stolen and completely disapeared off the face of the earth. They were pretty rare here when they were new. Its never surfaced again.
  13. I got the artical some where on that STI brumby. I mite scan it and put it up.
  14. I thought that blue Sti brumby was running full wrx sti suspention. Its Also fitted with a 6spd. I read a few articals about that one a few years ago. Had a whole crashed V7? Sti wrx that was used as a doner car.
  15. Not the Goliath flat four but I agree with the Lloyd arabella flat 4. They were going to use the Goliath four in the Arabella till they found out it wouldnt fit or something like that. So they built a new flat four that was used in it in stead. Dad has owned Goliaths, Hansas, Lloyds and Borgwards. He still has 2 Lloyd 600s One of my Dads mates used to have a Hansa Tiger Coupe with the Twin Carb hot engine and a Black Goliath Car. Ended up selling them to a Borgward group type museum here. Both needed a full restoration.
  16. NLA= No longer availble. I had to look that up yesterday :-p
  17. Im kean to know this too. Alot of my rubber bushes etc need replacement before I can put it back on the road.
  18. I didnt no that.. My one on my GSR does not work. Mind you its had a alarm installed so they mite had cut the wires to it?
