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 …

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 ...

Yep - don't use hard mediums like sand, unless you want them to look dull afterwards ...

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 …

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 ...

Finally got round to finishing this drawing I had started ages ago : Something for the Brumby boys to mull over ... Cheers, Bantum ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Another thread worth reading : http://www.awdwiki.com/en/torque+split+ratio/

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Like the concept, Great video ... Cheers, Bantum ...

Found this beast : Cheers, Bantum ...

If it has old style commutater brushes, they would be worn out by now ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is what I ended up with : More on procedure here : http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23077 Cheers, Bantum ...

Ok - next bit to bring up to date ... Last bit of casting dried : Some fixings : & holes Drilled : More Securing : Nearly done : Cheers, Bantum ...

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 ...

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 ...
