If we had a few more days there, Phi Phi would've been next! It came down to choosing between JB and PP. JB ended up having more sights along the way so we went with that.

You'll have a ball mate.

Excuse me subyclub. I need some head gasket insight.

Everytime this Milo character opens his mouth on OzLiberty he's warning people how bad Subaru head gaskets are. I know the Gen2 2.5L had them bad but I was always under the impression Subaru pretty much fixed the issue in the Gen3's?

Sure, a HG can blow in any car at any time if you don't look after it. Same with any problem with any car. But I swear it's not as bad as he makes out...

Its a common problem for even Gen3s Morganus. I've had heaps of mechanics tell me that apparently they're a problem. I had one go in my car before i swapped the sti motor in. It's not like they're hard to replace.

Dunno about the earlier models though. Keep it running good oil, don't let it overheat and dont flog the **** out of everyday, and you'll be sweet.

Yea it happend to my mate who has a MY99 RX.

I've just heard for the Gen2 it is 'when', but for everything else, it's an 'if'.
Fortunately I looked after my Gen2 and it never happened.

HG's can fail in any car. I just never thought Subaru's from 01 onwards were known for it...

Coolant in the driveway!!!

My uncle had the 02 outback limited 70k on it when he traded it in and Subaru said it had a decent headgasket leak, Subaru sucked at headgaskets on the 2.5L's
I guess it's just luck tho

Remember the good old days when lots of things used these:




and we used to lick the top to see if they were working, or was that just me?

Can still remember the taste now.

Yes I used to do this hahaa.

This is mad.

Like a B0$$

That reminds me of the south park episode I watched last night where Randy gets testicular cancer and has to bounce on his sack to move around.

Turbo 2.5's seem to be OK

Well played DillSauce, for a GT2 Porka! The kind of car, that when I buy it, the first thing I'll want to do is mod it?

MONEY!

Tom, i have been told by numerous sources.. dont drink the water (ask for drinks with no ice) but other than that, everything gets deepfried to a crisp at the street stalls, so be adventurous and try some strange ****

mate of mine had 1 thong stolen from the beach night party by a ladyboy.. so keep tabs on your thongs lol by thong i mean jandal or flip flop

[Dylan]

Yeah I was going to say that gearbox looks like it's out of an AWD, then remembered it's probably out of the same 911 and is in fact mounted in reverse to what I am used to seeing.

I would settle for a 911 T, but I would really honestly try to stretch that much further for a GT2. Maybe a GT2 RS.

[skillionaire]

To be completely honest with you, I would go a Cayman S. Work my way up. In a GT2 I would either kill myself, or never use more than 10% potential of the car.

[Dylan]

At least you didn't say Boxter.

Is that gearbox out of a RWD or AWD porka ? (GT2 or 911 t), or something else? I am trying to work out what that box is that is bolted on to the side.

[skillionaire]

GT2 RS mate. Looks like a heat exchange, cooler.

[Dylan]

A serious bit of kit.

You got any photos of an AWD box for comparison ?
