hey lads. 
haven't posted much on these boards, but thought i'd post up my new pride and joy!

over a year ago Tony put 84DGT up for sale, the sale never went through.. a year later i noticed Tony posted a EOI post in a subaru sales page on facebook for the car, one thing led to another, and now i am the new owner of 84DGT :) 

been dreaming of owning this car ever since i first seen the build thread on ozfoz, and now here i am! 
living her new life down south now in Newcastle.

thanks man. yeah i'm glad its staying in good hands.
it's going into my mates workshop soon to have some upgrades started, and unfortunately the straight cut gearbox is being removed.. but being replaced by something cooler and more.. outside the box :P  ;)   
so if anyone is interested in buying a PPG 1-4th straight cut synchro box, hit me up :)

the next time she's on the road it will be running with a RB25DET gearbox. it's a necessary upgrade in my eyes because of what the car is used for, and people try to tell me the ppg box is still stronger, while yes ppg is strong its still a standard 5spd gearbox, with PPG gears inside it. so the RB box will be more suited to what i'm going to be doing with the car :)

Much work?

If AM Auto Al can get a 2J into a gen 3 surely you can get a RB26 into a forester :P

yep it's different i know.. and i've searched for ages to try and find someone else who's done it to make this process easier for me, but no one has from what i can find.

yep the rear diff is from an r33 skyline.

well, i have to have a custom bell housing made, potentially a custom clutch set-up made, custom gearbox mount made, and there's a possibility i may have to cut the tunnel and make it higher to accommodate the gearbox/ shifter linkages (which are also going to have to be custom seeing as the RB box is shorter than a suby box)
but in saying all that, it's not impossible and it will be happening one way or another lol. 

yeahh haha! if the engine ever fails on me and blows up past the point of being a cheap fix, ill be throwing a 2j into it lol. but it's a built 2.7 ltr EJ257, so it can take a punch.

Such a monster of a foz


As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
 
"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

I should just convert to single, right?

was a v4 i think, but nope that motor popped about may last year, since then its been running a fully forged 2.7 ltr EJ257 built by Robin at perFOURmance MotorSports in QLD 

and.. well.. yes and no.. lol. im going to try my best to hide it. hopefully the tunnel work is still able to be covered by the dash/ centre console. 
but in saying that im going to try my best to avoid even doing that, cutting the tunnel is a last resort at this stage.

Wow, this will be interesting to see the formwork needed to mount the R200 diff. I think Al up in qld did something similar in the v12 gen 3, was an R240 or something diff. Probably wouldn't be too hard to manufacture up a custom bell housing for the Rb box, keen to see Pics as you go though. Always good to see people thinking outside the box and then actually going through with said thinking. What are you doing tailshaft wise? Custom two piece or custom single? Just remember to pass scrutineering you'll need a tailshaft loop if going single.

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.
