yeh quad heatlight normally means dl (lowest trim level) and the single headlights are the gl with all the electric goodies wagon and brat front pannels are interchangable so are trannies, diffs and engines. ea81 wagons and brat are pretty much the same excpet the obvious differences.

nah its a 4spd manual and i have now found out that its a 21mm drain plug but i supose it has a different seal aswell. cheers for your reply:drunk:

Is the tranmission drain plug o-ring the same one as the engine drain plug on a ea81 4spd 4x4? I ask this because the engine drain is 17mm and the drain plug on my tranny is 19mm(i think), but deffinately larger.

my sterio got stolen out of my brumby. atleast i got the "pro" theives so they didnot do any damage to the lock e.g. coat hangered the door. All though they did completely destoy my centre console, where the radio sits. This was cheap cd changer and wouldnot hold radio preset or remember what track you were on unless you wanted your battery drained in a night. I just hope the drug dealer they hocked it too gives them a beating for supplying faulty merchandise:rolleyes:.

Has yellow and black wires running to dist.

For the first time on my 1990 burmby I pulled the dist cap and found a little 'black box' in there instead of the old contact breaker and has the two wires from the coil conected to it. The 'black box' doesnot have any contact with disty shaft and vacum advance rotates the plate the 'black box' is mounted on. Is this an electronic dizzy? Do i need a special cap and rotor for it?

foster's had gone downhill a long time ago, my dad recons, its pretty hard to find it here unless you goto a big bottle'o. victoria bitter and xxxx bitter would porbably be the highest sellers here.

well the first muffler on my burmby is rattling, like stones in a tin getting shaken, anywere over 3000rpm. I got quoted $70 for just a generic one, you guys recon there will be any difference in performnace/ecocnomy with a un-baffled one? the rear muffler has been replaced with a 2" in and out. Also running a 32/36 holley

i know what the deal is .

in australia they started adding ethanol to cheaper petrols to make it cheaper as we can make it from sugar cane. but the downside to this remakable fuel is that some of the seals in engines are not designed for it and cracked. maybe you should consider this ey? can u use methanol?

ON ea81's it tells u if the doors are open and if the car in is 4hi or 4lo

5spd if u r on the highway a bit but keep 4sp if you want to run big tyres 36/32 webber or spfi conversion lower temp t-stat if its hot where you live turbo rear end: brakes/lsd lift kit, bigger wheels electronic dizzy cam, spfi/1600 pistons, custom inlet manifold/water cross-over, there are just a few to get you started, btw the wagon look preddy nice

i think they have a 2 cyclinder 2 stroke engine in them, about the power gains you might have to do some trailblaizing as not many ppl on the board have them.

if you can judge how tight to do the one nut up, a 17mm opened ended spanner would work and did for me.

when i removed my centre console so fix sterio i found that the previous owner had zip tied and glued the 4 lo switch back into position. maybe you could give that a try if you cant go pull one.

The valve is meant add air to the exhuast so unburned fuel can be burnt off in cat, so would plugging the valve make the cat run cooler? These valves fail from time to time you should goto a junkyard and pull one. Yeh plastic in the carb: i have heard can be very annoying.

Does anyone know how much current the starter soleniond draws, when starting. i currently have a toggle switch rated at 30A hooked up but this is a bit hairy at times when the brumby fires up early or later than usual. i am gunna replace it with a push button.

Was this with the MSD Blaster Coil cause I just got the stock coil.

My gregory's manual atucally calls for 0.7-0.9mm gaps which is quite a bit less than 0.044" or about 1.1mm. What will running these plugs do?

dam they are gapped right for my brothers suzuki swift, same plugs

I got some NGK BP6Es spark plugs for my subaru brumby but they are gapped at 0.9mm or 0.035433". Arenot they meant to be 0.044" and will running these plugs do anything bad?

Yeh heavier flywheels make more tourque whereas light ones make hp. But if you lighen the flywheel too much it can appearently "fall out of its powerband".

yeh ea81s have the same bore and stoke as spfi pistons (ea82) as they are used in peformace ea81 builds. obviously the cams and rest of valve train is different (ohc,ohv). Yeh i think only the pistons and conrods are the same.

oem gaskets are of higher quality than aftermarket ones and will last longer

yessum, ea81 engine to ea82 5spd tranny conversion is bolt on.
