http://www.carfax.co.nz/car/?plate=he6303&search=Check looks like the gold one is still in the system. no wof for a few years though.

Good luck with the sale mate, Hope it goes to a good home. Here is a link to the auction if anyone is interested http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=169079352 Such a beauty.

I really like those pics, good to see it being used and whatnot.

A stereo! Luxury! I am jelous! Sounds good.

I am scared of taking the GSR to the snow next month, 4WD please!

I love that ad. Soo soo awesome/sexest/typically 70's.

James, Does your GSR have these? I think its got something to do with central locking.... Not so sure about the thing on the dash though.

From where I'm standin at the mo, Its a tie!

If it helps, I used door rubbers off one of my worse off 1st gen brumbys on my GSR. Not a perfect fit, the wind still howls a bit sometimes, but the old ones were WAY shot.

Looking good, I hope its as solid as it sounds etc and has no hidden nastys Wanna race?:-p

I will have to try and out-do you har har har! Just out of curiosity... Are your springs captive still? Or anywhere near it?

I like the way you think Full write-up as you progress please!

Good on you for saving what you can. I understand what its like with parts and whatnot.. Its a shame they did to it what they did.

This could work in our favour also, a Subaru employee that actually cares about Gen 1's. Excellent... Lookin goooood also.

Yeah thats the plan. Just unsure on how to go about adjusting them and how many spines = how much distance. Thats not as much of an issue though.

So I'm thinking about (going to) lower the GSR a little and was hoping for some advice. In the front I was thinking about using brumby front struts with the adjusters on just incase it need to be wound up a little (eg- Making springs captive for inspection) and just cutting a few coils off some spare sets I've got kicking around. And in the back.... Reclocking the torsion bar, What is the procedure for this? How does the plan sound so far?

Unbranded 13's, some kind of superlite knock offs. Always on the look out for more wheels, Anyone in NZ let me know

Thats hot. Considered lowering it?

Sounds really interesting. Would it be possible if you gave a bit of a detailed write up on what you've done?

Good call. From memory thinking back it was 2mm not degrees of toe out. I forget badly.

The guys at a local place had no problem doing mine. Reading the sheet it looks asthough they used specs off a 2nd Gen vehicle perhaps. If its only the toe it can't be too different right? I think they gave me 2* toe out. I wish I'd done it sooner.

I've subcribed + orded a back order of issue 1. Looks like a nice read, can't wait to see what they come up with in future.

+1 I'd love to hear some more about how you shoehorned that in there Pleeeeease!

Ok so I'm getting all interested in doing something to my brumby, not immediately, but one day. Gathering info at the moment so.... Ej22, with an ej manual box. No lift. I realize there may be chassis rail cutting needed to clear the heads, but will the box fit? And what makes the ea81 and EA71 crossmembers different?

Thats about the most 'checking' I think you can do. I had a problem with one sticking closed, pulled it out, and cleaned it up with white spirits/carb cleaner. 6 months so far and no more problems..
