  1. Narva do a complete range of plugs that you can directly swap over ( pins are similar size ) – You can either cut the old ones off & replace with new or more tedious - swap the pins over, which can be difficult to get the old ones out, as you may have to cut the old plug up … L More here : http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/quick-connect Cheers, Bantum …
  2. Yea - sorry the bidding war started at : ¥ 2,800 & is currently @ ¥ 21,100 So you'll be lucky to get it at that ... Add : fixed the link in my previous post ( I think ) Ciao, Bantum ...
  3. Hmm NOS Bumper : Found here : Edit : http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/b160300830 Something that might fit the FF-1 ? Cheers, Bantum ...
  4. You’ll need to get hold of one of these: Found here : http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-2008-2014-FACTORY-SERVICE-REPAIR-OEM-WORKSHOP-SHOP-FSM-MANUAL-/191271709224?pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&hash=item2c88aeaa28&vxp=mtr Then find the relevant section to follow procedure … Cheers, Bantum …
  5. Found a few others: Found here : http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/n126957247 And this one : Found here : http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/m123422074 Cheers, Bantum ...
  6. Yep - don't use hard mediums like sand, unless you want them to look dull afterwards ...
  7. Ha - I just found this thread when searching for more utes … Here is my effort : More details to be found here : http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/136886-subaru-xv-ute/ Cheers, Bantum …
  8. Certainly Haight, My background is in Architecture & Design ... So not a traditional industrial designer per say, but I still know how to draw ... You can see more of my work in the photo bucket links below ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  9. Finally got round to finishing this drawing I had started ages ago : Something for the Brumby boys to mull over ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  10. You should get a set of center caps to go with those Enkei's : Note : I think the original caps are either f or m ... More details here : http://www.hirano-tire.co.jp/enkei/enkei5.htm Cheers, Bantum ...
  11. Sorry to say there will be a bit of a hold up on this project due to my back surgery ... So here is something else to tide you over until then : More details on this beast can be found here : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23869 Cheers, Bantum ...
  12. Wonder which GL you have there 19804wdPOS ... ? This might help to tell us which model you have ie: Wagon etc : http://ridehomehappy.com/index.php/blog/post/vintage-subaru-brochure-1980-model-lineup 2675-skishop69 - as far as I can tell, the internals of a 1980's 4wd 'part time' gear box are similar ( both in layout & gearing ) to the later 1983 'Dual - Low range' box I showed earlier, just the rear out put is different & its missing a few gears ( low range ) ... ( sorry I haven't been able to find an internal image of the correct gear box - will post when I've found it ) Add : I know it don't have no center diff also - never said it did either ... Add : One way of confirming how much power is getting to the rear end, is to put the car on a dyno with a before & after test measuring just how much HP is getting back there & see if it's actually 100% ... By the sounds of it, 19804wdPOS wants to do some 'burnouts' & waste a few tyres ... So I'd say let him find out the hard way when something goes bang ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  13. Another thread worth reading : http://www.awdwiki.com/en/torque+split+ratio/
  14. Might be a good idea to get hold of a manual, will help to follow up on the CV & other details on your car. Here is another thread to read up on : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21886&highlight=rear+wheel+drive So here is my understanding of the situation : Remove front drive shafts, engage 4WD, and Bob's your uncle - you've got rear drive only. ( only recommended for light duty / emergencies though ) If you're after something more permanent, you would have to look into upgrading gearboxes ... Add : Found this diagram that sort of explains what I'm talking about : Found here : http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f89/front-rear-diff-questions-445610/ From this you can see that it's unlikely 100% is going to be transferred via rear through that kinda center diff ... ( Item 1 & 6 are not directly connected ) - Granted your transmission is different, so I have no direct knowledge of it. Hope I haven't confused you all too much - even if you have a similar gear box or not ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  15. Hmm - I'm not sure about that, maybe only if you have a locked transfer diff ... More details found here : http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/139096-4wd-loyale-rear-diff/ + Something to show what were talking about : Note : this is from a later model, but the layout & gears are similar ... ( the transfer diff is not shown ) There's no way to get full power using this type of gearbox to the rear with out serious mods ... And how to get dual range 4WD here : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15316 Cheers, Bantum ...
  16. As a temporary fix it would work - But you not sure you'd get all of available power to rear ... Add : Yet to confirm actual figure ... ( Do note that the transfer gears in an EA GL slush box are split 60% front, rest to rear ) If you want to make it more permanent - you would need to re-build the box without the transfer gears / front Diff ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  17. Found this beast : Cheers, Bantum ...
  18. If it has old style commutater brushes, they would be worn out by now ...
  19. Nearly done with wheels ... Last bit of casting : And all apart : And the aim is to make 'em look something like this : Marked out Ready to cut : Still more to do on front side ... :twisted: Cheers, Bantum ...
  20. Just received some more bits for this project ... Some Stealth Mounts : Some Racks : & Test Fitting : Got some more bits on the back burner too ! Cheers, Bantum ...
  21. This is what I ended up with : More on procedure here : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23077 Cheers, Bantum ...
  22. Ok - next bit to bring up to date ... Last bit of casting dried : Some fixings : & holes Drilled : More Securing : Nearly done : Cheers, Bantum ...
  23. Some results from more casting : Had to add a bit in the middle to level it out ... More prep work : Ready for casting : And no - its not milk in the bottle ... Done : Awaiting drying ... hmmm will have to add some bolts later ... Cheers, Bantum ...
  24. Yep - I have them caps on my '76 Wagon ... You'll need to get the ends of each drive shaft taped out to suit a M6 bolt from memory ... Cheers, Bantum ...
