HAHAHAHAHAA MOKES!!! HOW AWESOME ARE MOKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I once travelled 30Km as a passenger in a moke when I was younger... was scary when the thing went over........... drove on the road :P
was awesome when you take the vinyl canopy off and have a roofless, little punt on wheels

Amoungst the 7 Willies and Ford 40's Army Jeeps, 20's Essex and old Falcon my Pop used to have about 5 Mokes in his car garage.. they were awesome to toy around with

Yea that's just plain crazy. I had a 1 3/4" restrictor placed in the bell mouth dump to keep things quiet on my B4. :rolleyes:

I've just been told that the B4 doesn't require a fitting kit with the Walbro, is this correct? All of the DIY's I have read for the B4 all have fitting kits, i'm confused :huh:

Ok, I received my walbro pump today from Pro Speed Racing for $160 delivered. Only probelm is that there is no fuel sock. I purchased the 01-current WRX pump as I was told that is the one made to suit the B4 and this pump does not come with a fitting kit while the pre 01 WRX pumps do. Is this a big deal or can I quite easily get a fuel sock through subaru?
