In Topic: Better on throttle/off throttle idle control?

Yesterday, 11:57 AM

Make sure its not excessive drivetrain lash, shagged diff bushes,  engine mounts, pitch stop mount, etc etc.

 

All of those things exacerbate the feeling of a harsh on/off throttle.

Gee, its quiet around here.

 

Did a trip down to Canberra way a week back. Taller 5th is appreciated, and I was reminded just what a surprisingly comfortable and capable grand tourer this thing is with the TT engine in it.

 

I did notice some minor engine temp rise during stop/go traffic in a hot spell we had in Sydney a month or so back. Once the engine is fully up to temp and heat soak sets in, the pissy electric fans I have aren't up to the job. I need to up-spec them at some point before next summer.

 

Anyone know if there's some slimmer Subaru OEM fans that are likely to fit?  The gen3 fan motors are too deep and interfere with the front of the engine with the fatter rad core..

Wow - sure sounds like a targeted theft attempt - why else would someone spend so much time trying to steal an old L series?
