Here's a video from last weekend out behind redbank plains. There's a play area just in from the brentwood estate entrance ( obviously this location will mean nothing to 99.9% of viewers), The rock was steep enough that there was only one spot to approach it from that the bullbar wouldn't hit and stop me from even trying.

 

I wouldn't have even bothered attempting it on a carb'd engine as it was way too steep and a carby wouldn't get any fuel. with the EJ18 though it didn't miss a beat.

 

Listen for the Diff breaking during the second ( was actually fourth, but only recorded last 2 ) climb. At first I thought it was just a stubb-axel but the stubb is still attached but rotates freely, I'd guess I've broken something inside the diff, probably at one of the weld points.

 

Rock Climb

impressive and it looked pretty fun. 1 day ill go to aussie.

look, he even climbed that rock in reverse.

 

Seriously though, cool vid.

Sucks, if that diff was working you would have made it

Yeah, I did it twice before we even got the video camera out ... I shoulda stopped after the third time

 

As for the reverse, when I did the 5spd dualrange swap I accidently hooked the reverse/4wd lights up backwards ... so anyone behine me knows when I'm in 4wd

Dang i love that subie sound Nice vid man!

That little Subie just plain goes!

Very nice indeed!

Schweet! Nice climb!

Is that a welded rear diff or open?

Very nice. Way to rep the sedan

welded ... open diff wouldn't have had a chance. You can see what happens the second time up when one of the axels breaks ... dropping it down to the equivalent of an open diff.

impressive and it looked pretty fun. 1 day ill go to aussie.

 

:headbang:Help me cut the roof off my diesel Benz, silicone up the bottom and put a prob on the driveshaft. We can sail there running it on fish oil.
