  1. Gidday, I was searching through some old threads and found some great info on Subaru Weights. Not entirely sure where this page should go on here ( I did a search on here - but nothing was listed ) so thought I'd share this link by Kostamojen : The Subaru Curb Weight thread ( Almost complete list ) : http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=915025 Might also ask Kostamojen if we could update it with some metric figures ... Cheers, Bantum ... Add : Thanks for making a sticky ... Note : That spelling is optional, Kerb in Australia ...
  2. Gidday, Any plans to support older gen Subaru's for hard to get parts ? Eg: from the 360, FF-1, BRAT & others ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  3. Not really ... I'm pretty sure they all came out of the factory with same colour, it's more likely that they have faded over time, with heat & oil stains etc ... Add: I'd check that as it may only apply for Australian models, some later models here did have black covers ... Can you Post up a pic of yours to confirm ... ? Add : I also recall something about there being variations in cover colours for different capacity / type engines ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  4. I believe that this is the culprit : Not sure how you'd fix it though ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  5. No ... but the Holts Dupli-Color Auto Spray DSH15 - Holden Marina Blue or the GM / Pontiac Blue colour in the VHT range are a close match ... Taken from here : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23577&highlight=colour+code Add : another site worth looking up : http://www.paintscratch.com/touch_up_paint/Subaru/ Cheers, Bantum ...
  6. Query: Are you offering an engineered or 'certified' product fit for registration purpose that complies with road regulations ? Otherwise you should add a 'disclaimer' on your cover page that these spacers are to be only used for off-road ( unregistered ) purposes. Cheers, Bantum ...
  7. I think these are what you are looking for : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=199&pictureid=1802 Edit : this image is from Steptoe on AUSubaru : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23610&highlight=brumby+trim Cheers, Bantum ...
  8. Small update : After much searching I have finally found a spare wheel for my Brumby: More details can be found on the AUSubaru site under Bantum's Brumby ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  9. Just did a search & you can also get them from here : http://www.airbagit.com/Billet-Wheel-Adapters-Adaptors-Spacers-p/aa-4140-5100-4-5ib.htm Heaps of other options there too ... ! Cheers, Bantum ...
  10. Found some more info on it here : http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3978454/1978-subaru-gl/ Cheers, Bantum ...
  11. Same here - getting this error message : "Invalid Conversion ID" Ciao, Bantum ...
  12. Thanks... I wish, no job offers as yet ... P.S. The 3D model is now available on 3D Warehouse - I had to break up the file size to make it suitable for download though ... Currently the bed length measures in @ 1300 mm & 2300 mm approx. fully extend ( with tail gate down + hatch open ) ... I might do a few renders with it all opened up, just have to show it now ... If we pester Subaru enough, maybe ? To get some action happening see here ( this one is in AUS but I'm sure there others ) ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  13. Ok - Time for an update : I've nearly finished modelling, just added some final trims & did some preliminary renders : Hope to do some hi res images in photoshop or similar soon ... I also might look into a 3D printed model later ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  14. Gidday Subie Gal, Good to see that this car has gone to a good home, cant wait to see it finished ! ... Query - What are you going to do with the old motor ? - As I recall it had some unfortunate issues with it ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  15. Doh ... Someone else from here had the same idea ... The '78 looks a little odd with a shorter rear end ... Got any pictures of it being cut up / worked on ? Cheers, Bantum ...
  16. Yea ha, yes ... I've finally found one ... ! ... ... ... said it out loud in the shop too ... Located it in a local Brisbane toy shop & was at the right price too ... pretty chuffed right now ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  17. Thanks ... Yeah, we can only hope ... P.S. - This is my next project I'm working on in Sketchup & will post up some more details later ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  18. Yeah it's always a compromise with a simple cut & shut operation - KISS was main intent here ... Do note that with the seat in this model you should be able to push it back a good foot before it hits anything ... How tall are you ? I'm 180 cm and have fun fitting in the Brumby, with the seat all the way back my knees just miss the steering wheel ... I might do an option for a larger crew cabin / tray on a longer wheel base model later, keep an eye out for it ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  19. Ok - I've started to put the results up on 3D Whore House ... Please rate it to get some interest going ... XV-Ute 2013 Still not 100% finished, but will continue to fineness ... Enjoy, Bantum ...
  20. Small update ... Whilst I've nearly finished modelling the XV- Ute, I had some ideas for a more sportier version based on the WRX - see here ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  21. Ok - I'm not sure where to put this, but here is my latest effort : This is based on the WRX Imprezza 2014 ? version due to come out soon ... For those who want a more 'sportier' ute version ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  22. Update ... Here are some of the latest images : Cheers, Bantum ...
  23. Ok - I've finished it for now ... So have posted the !st draft up on the 3D whore house web site for those wanting to down load it here : http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=6c0c57172fd7abd44357da6907c78a70&prevstart=96 Will see if I can get some renders done later ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  24. Ok, I found a few moments to consider some requests for a bigger version of the XV-Ute : This one is based on the current Legacy / Outback platform & should give you a much larger payload + a sportier look to boot ... ! Outback-Ute-1 Outback-Ute-2 Outback-Ute-3 Outback-Ute-4 Outback-Ute-5 Note : For an even larger version, click on the link @ bottom of right of picture to see the 'Originals' ... Cheers, Bantum ... P.S. - I might have to come back to this & fix up the links ...
  25. Time for another update : Started on some interiors : Notes : Loosely based on the imprezza, not finished yet ... Mean looking front end : Notes : Added a few extras, see if you can spot them ... Rear end update : Notes : Added rear cover & tie down rails ... And finally something to go under the bonnet : Notes : Borrowed a few bits from here & there to make it, but it seems to look alright ... Cheers, Bantum ...
