Still here, just watching quietly, haven't had much to say, but I have some plans in the wind that will be made known in a few months once everything is finalised...
Whats been happening Jase?
Whats been happening Jase?
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. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.
MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.

Likewise. Added some stuff about the brumby but no one seems to be interested in rebuilding carbs etc.
Otherwise I’m just checking on the crickets “as usual” at the moment…

I've been meaning to respond Bennie, but I've got a lot going on at home at the moment, was very intrigued about the carb rebuild, was a good read. Takes me back to being 18, cleaning the sand out of the carby on my old 323 every saturday afternoon/sunday morning after taking it bush every friday night and saturday! That was another level though!

No stress Ben, it is what it is, everyone seems to be busier than ever across the board atm!
I didn’t enjoy the process so much as it just needed to be done. Hopefully the last carb I’ll ever touch - and probably why lots are so expensive or no longer available.
Cheers
Bennie

Yeah, It seems so. I know I've been flat out lately.
She loves it. It's just had MLS head gaskets, new Exedy clutch, new KYB front struts and new diff front bushes fitted in the last 2 months. I love it because I won't have to touch it for a while! We looked at 2 others, and they both had leaking head gaskets.

Well it’s rather quiet here. Thought I’d let you know if you see me in my brumby around the Ballarat area tomorrow flash your lights or throw us a wave or do both…

Definitely sounds like a good car, even better that she loves it! Its pretty much a given for every gen3 251 at this age that they'll need doing.
Has been very. I must've read these responses probably the day they were put up, and then life got in the way and I forgot to reply... Ah well. No news is good news. Gen5 is going good. Still waiting on parts to come from japan, and the gen3 is slowly being stripped of anything of value and sold off. I didn't think this was really likely, but the big ticket items like engine etc are all still there. Its all the small stuff that people want...

Hahaha, nah, theres a lot of stuff that makes it useless for racing, things like I need the stub shafts out of the auto, and a mate wants the engine bay and dash looms... I haven't had a chance to look them up yet Bennie, its on my list of things to do, but its a way down the list...

Hellooooooo........
What's been happening guys, been a while since I checked in.
In other news, my eldest has joined the Subaru family with a MY10 Foz.
What's cracking Jase? So much has happened on my end.
Bought a unit, married, bought a house, 5-month-old daughter, and gave the Liberty to my brother. I had a new 2018 VW Tiguan (sold last year) and now have a new 2023 Lexus RX350h Sports Luxury. A couple of job changes in between and I'm starting a new role mid this month.
Life is good. How's things going for you?
Hello SubyClub.
Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille
Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

I'm just glad that I dont have to touch it! She is getting her CJ Lancer ready to sell, so she took it out for a spin yesterday. Comes home and says "I wish the Foz was a quick as the Lancer" Foz is a far better car for her, but they are a bit gutless.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
