Thank you! I reckon the ae82 front strut tops are the same as my el31's ... interesting, are the rears 2 bolts or 3?

are the rears 2 bolts or 3?

Word has it the car will be done in the next few days, only problem is I'm gonna be 6+ hours away in the middle of no where. Ive organized the old man to pick it up and finish a few things off for me till i get back... Man i miss this car, can't wait to drive it again.. especially now with moar powwas!!

 

 

 

Question for you victorians, what i do i have to do for vicroads to inform them about the engine number change? Ive heard a few different things from a few people so I'm unsure...

Edited December 17, 201114 yr by Subaru_kid

The change of engine number is a matter of contacting them, telling them the engine number's changed, they'll want to visually check this themselves so booking is required & they update their records once they're happy everything's hunky dory. :) As long as it's 4A to 4A there shouldn't be any problems. :wink:

I did same in qld, changed from 3ete to 4efte... Down from 1.5 to 1.3 they didnt care what i did just wanted to see the engine number.

Whats going on

So this week I got flooded during a camping trip.... then got flooded as soon as i got home tonight... garage is a swimming pool :glare:

 

Well, the weather was good until thursday... went for a bit of a hike one day and camped on top a mountain, then woke up to this....

 

 

 

not bad ey?

 

 

 

and nek minut I saw a group of these, which kinda remind me of you lot :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In other news, i believe ill be picking this up on tuesday and should be running tuesday night :D

I'm going up to QLD for a few weeks so the car wont be driven much... still needs the shiney bits put on and the wheels need paint and moar polish...

 

 

Also, track day coming up on Aus day :D

woo bet your keen for it back

Turns out my holiday is going to be slightly extended, which is awesome but means i wont be able to have the car how i want it for Australia Day at winton. Gives me some time to clean her up a bit more, test the new engine out and do a few more things before the next track day :)

 

Must say I'm dying to drive this thing, its been over 3 months :(

That camping trip looked awesome, are you a lite camper or full on type that takes everything???

 

Has your garage dried out yet?

Yeah it was an awesome trip! I'm a light camper when i need to be, but we stayed in the valley for about a week and just hiked up the top to stay overnight. Down in the valley we had a decent setup with hot water showers, a kitchen sink and some fairly luxurious cooking setups... Plus I'm a wog so we take as much food as possible with us.. can't say we are doing it tough :P

 

 

Not sure mate, it was still kinda damp when we left a few days after for brissy, so I'm expecting mould or something when i get back :glare:

Still haevnt gotten my car back. Was due to have it back today, but it seems ill get it back on monday or tuesday. Yeah i know the date keeps on changing, but its out of my control really :( just looking forward to getting it back soon :D

 

 

 

 

Also, started restoring my wheels again and have finished 2 of them so far.

 

Theyre Gemini wheels 14x5.5 with about a 20 offset

 

(before and after btw ;) )

 

Theyve cleaned up really well. After taking the silicon/gunk that they have on them off then polishing, painting and polishing again, especially with all the spokes these wheels have it takes a fair bit of time.

 

 

can't wait to see them on the car now that theyve been cleaned up :D

Nice work, :y:

I like the one in the back ground haha - nice and shiney :wink:
