pickstock

sorry if this seems wrong in Australia i wouldnt pay that price for that sorry just had to say with an interior like that it wouldnt be in a car yard just had to say how strange it is

there already are a few cars on here that will be competivie i reacon, ill try and find the links

anyone know of any camshaft grinds that work well with a semi standard EA82 going for high compression and high revs, thinking best will be a custom cam but ive heard of people putting hillman hunter cam grinds into them any info

this is all just research for a little book im writing yeah done some more research on the local forum, the 4AET only came here in the vortex and the top of the range Ls the plan is to skim over it, put that the mod can be done in the description of the box and then leave it. i dont want to pay a crap load to get a box i dont really want atm just to do a lock with, if anyone who reads the book wants to do it they can look elsewhere IE here cheers for the info guys

me fail........... lols sorry mate i saw the pic and took a guess ok ill see about 'borrowing' an auto and seeing what can happen

thanks for that GD wasnt sure, ive read about the mod for liberty ones, but i dont know the EA82 autos well and wasnt sure if theyre awd or what hence why the mod wouldnt work

loooking for info for the bible might be better if it gets posted here i know its possible to do the lock on the auto gearbox on the liberty and outback models, but i dont go near autos much and well is there much difference between the L series auto and the liberty? can you still do the electronic diff lock? im not really sure how it works, if its the centre diff we yeah there isnt one so derr cheers for any info

[quote=Mudpup;974599 RE: factory rally cars: Know of any coupe interior pics detailing the safety cage structurals? I've spent a whack of time combing the 'net.... im currently in contact with some of possum bournes mechanics from back in the day, trying to get them to check if they have the homoligation papers. no luck yet =/

those ram ones look really good bit pricy for what im building though ill have to see how much i can shave of the heads

has anyone put different pistons in an EA82?? I know spfi will fit and increase CR but aus never got those engines so looking for another brand or somthing cheers

its easy to say no there are so many problems with the car for drifting, i do it on dirt but still. The engine isnt powerfull enough, may be able to use a tuned EA82 turbo, but then the gbox will givw in Sorry to say but it wont work too well Get a liberty or wrx and go driftingqlooks much better and the cars are amazingly balanced

yeah probably eaiser to organise parts from texas rather than ship them from australia

new favorite thread im looking for a better quility copy of the book than i can get from the faberit website. i plan on seeing them at one stage and documenting the car that they have built but it isnt much of an RX anymore, just the motor and body from what ive heard. whats the book called btw?

oh how i love australia =) on a side note, maybe a buisness opertunity. there a loads of older subarus here that are dumped for lack of power, or the engines over heat. perhaps if i get a hold of some, cut them into half cuts or panels it would be worth shipping them to USA for you guys to use for repairs?

does anyone still have these pictures? words dont tell whats needed pleasr guys dont make me design them myself =)

yeah ive read over them Didnt get too much info though, screen resolution was just crap. Im hoping to catch up with him soon and look over his car. Btw does anyone else have those papers?

i want to do it ive help with team who have done it, never had a problem. security for events like this is very tight in africa. but then again i do belive the fact we were always introduced as australians helped, they do have predisposition to americas (no offence) there are a lot of events i want to do -dakar -baja -austrlaisian safari -the 'ring -european rallies just a matter of money and a car, back the forester idea me thinks

does anyone have any hololigation papers for the older subarus?? about 85 RX im hoping for but anything before the impreza would be awesome

yeah to me thats a sill just bend some sheet steel around and weld it up

ok im building a new car to compete in a rally seiries in south australia known as TRE (touring road events) THESE ARE NOT STREET RACING, it is sanctioned by the natinal body of motosport and thus by the FIA even thought it is held on open roads, at normal road speed. its basically like an orienteering course in cars. the aim is not to go fast, its to get there but i cant help but think i could do with some more power, and my engine defiatly needs a rebuild. basically ive collected a load of bits that im hoping will bolt together with some mods and creat a mildly powered reliable beast block: carb EA82, polished and lightened to take some weight of the front end or i might use the MPFI block heads: MPFI, ported polished and shaved (will need a modification to fit if i go with the carb block) pistons: heres the main problem, i need pistons that will fit and be at least the same compression, my MPFI pistons are screwed so my options are to use the carb ones i have or go buy a good second hand set intake: twin downdraughts i got off here, or maybe MPFi with cut down loom and all that so its put local and doesnt need to run the rest of the car. any ideas? will this work do we think? and secondly i need the car to handle, it does alright most of the time, especially on dirt but that is at a slower speed. what i think i need is new sway bars but as youve probably realised i cant afford them, i was thinking of welding two of the standard items together but yeah not sure thoughts on that?? And last but not least, camber on the front. due to the caster that these cars run when at lock it creates positive camber on the inside wheel, and im guessing that this is detrimental. what does everyone do for strut plates (camber caster and all that) are they commercially available or will i have to get pickstock racing to make me some?

must be one of those australian-american language problems

well i might see about getting some perfect guards from my local wreckers would be good for the rally car, i can flare them and cut them i need to do a lot of fibreglass work but on another note, arent the EA82 rocker covers ally??

looks awesome ive been offered one of them in australia and here they are so rare, only one ive seen might have to buy it now

depending on weight and quality i could be interested in a few sets i was thinking of making some myself but couldnt be bothered trying to get my weight right
