    Note : the larger one will need longer shaft ...

     

     

    I may have stuffed up the offset, will have to wait until I've done the body to see how well it sits up against the fenders ...

    XV Wheels ...

    I didn't get very far with trying to cast them, so I ended up going and getting some 3D printed - following is the trial example :

     

    Loaded up :

    Measured up :

    I like your work so far ... :)

    One comment on the Brat ... To me the ends of the bar on the brush guard look a little long - you could bend them back more to 'wrap' around the sides, to make it look like it was meant to be ... :ph34r:

    Keep up the good work on the Hard Top though ... ;)

    Yep - Like the Enkei's too ... :)

     

    NOS = New Old Stock

     

    You must of spent a 'pretty penny' on that lot ... :)

     

    So do your spare parts suppliers have any left ? ( Rear Hubs in 4x140 PCD that is ) - If so, I would be interested to know how much for a set ? As you can't get them any more here in Australia ... :(

    PM me if you don't want it broadcast - A part number would be good too ! 
    ( I can then plug it in to the system to see if any shows up here ) ...  ;)

    It might help a few out there looking for a suitable Workshop manual ... :)

    Most new cars usually come with a 'Owners Manual' :

     

    XV Crosstrek Owners manual : ( added link in here )

     

    http://www.joomag.com/magazine/subaru-xv-crosstrek-manuals-2014-xv-crosstrek-owners-manual/0648029001392674672

     

     

    Another place to look is :

     

    http://www.devicemanuals.com/productsupport/SUBARU_XV+Crosstrek_manual.html

     

     

    If you’re after a 'Service / Workshop Manual' it can be ordered online or at the dealer.
    They are usually in PDF format on CD or downloaded.

    Found here : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SUBARU-XV-G4-X-2-0L-2012-2014-FACTORY-WORKSHOP-SERVICE-REPAIR-MANUAL-IN-DISC-/321424267571

     

     

    ( You use to be able get something like Haynes / Gregory’s publisher or the like that did a hard copy, couldn’t find any for the XV though )

     

    More handy are the 'Parts Catalogue' but they are much harder to get hold of ...

     

     

    Ciao, Bantum ...

     

     

    ( Note : Sorry I ran out of time to finish, will come back to update links )

     

     

    Has anyone done a full key-less write up?

    in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

    Posted · Edited by Bantum

    Yeah + 1 if you want to add to the existing central locking, you'll need a actuator, door control unit relay + wiring.

    Otherwise if you do want the full benefit of a keyless + alarm system, its worth spending a bit of time and $ to get a kit with all the bits required, then install it yourself - as they are not that hard to do, just fiddly ... ;)  
    ( Add : If your not that way inclined, allow a bit extra for someone else to do the install )

     

    Parts required for full system :  Actuators, Door control unit relay, Alarm module, Siren + Wiring ...

    ( Note : Its not a detailed list by any means, just the basics )

    Again theres plenty of 'how to do' threads / videos etc. out there ... :)

    Depends on what year your car is made.

     

    As most late model Subaru's after about 1990 ? ( not sure of exact date ) had them standard.
    If yours is from an earlier period with out central locking, you could try installing a kit brought from Auto store or similar : 

     

    Did this for MY models : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22647&highlight=keyless

     

    There's also other threads out there for installing a Remote / keyless alarm system ... ;)
     

    Cheers, Bantum ...

    Hey Nico - Got any more details of the weathershield ?

     

    15875757782_0ff02b7db2_b.jpg

    ( The metal bit that goes over the top of door window & is attached to the gutter )
     

    Wondering if it could be modified to fit on a Brumby ... :)

    Cheers, Banum ...
