Hi guys,


Its been months since the last update to this thread so I figured I'd show you how project OUTBACK is going.

Some of you might recall me complaining about lack of braking performance? A week or two after, I got myself a set of brakes off a late model Gen4 GT. Problem solved. I think that was mainly due in part to change of fluids, pads etc but its always nice to have bigger brakes.


316mm 2-pot fronts, 294mm rears:

^Thinking I'll probably paint the calipers black as they're looking a little sad at the moment.

Not a mod, but this is my 14L fridge. Had it for about 6-months now as some of you have seen. Great little unit!


Mud guards for the front:


And finally, I got these nice looking LED tails a couple months ago. All in one unit including the indicators.




Mods to come:
Strut brace (I've gotta pick up off Chris)
Roof racks (thanks Sam!)
Nudge bar
Single DIN built in UHF radio + antenna
New speakers

Cool. *see what I did there*

Did you run the power wire back to the battery?

[Shiv]

Nah Jase, there's a 12V outlet in the rear

[RX25SE]

OK.


Might be worth checking the current draw of the fridge to see if the OEM wiring is up to it.

Taillights look good Shiverus.

Where'd you source em from?

Cheers,

Got them off IM. There's Buy It Now for like $500 but I got mine No Reserve for a lot less.

Just confirmed I'm not working tonight.

I'm staying in the city tonight so if you come in, send us a msg. Otherwise Croydon Park would probs be ok

[Shiv]

Just in case anyone forgot what type of Subaru I drive

[Morgan]

Interesting...

Not usually a fan of those but colour coded to match your bumper isn't too bad.

Kinda blends it in a little.

Nice work

I agree, the factory black plastic finish doesn't look great....especially with age! That's why I had it colour-coded to the front bar.

Classy! Looks good!

[Steveee]

Gives it a bulkier tougher look!

looking good shiv

Question mate - what under-the-seat-sub are you running? I'm thinking of doing the same to free up my boot...

I also think this thread needs an update

CB I hear?


MOAR OUTBAAAAAAACK!

[Shiv]

Hey Morgs,


I run two of them. One under the drivers seat, and one under the passenger.

They're Fusion CP-AS1080's. They're 8" inch subs, rated at 300W each. So 600 all up.






Not bad little units they are. But I do miss my big sub in the Lib!

















This threads a tad dusty. My car now has a GME radio and Uniden antenna:

I also got a neat fascia kit so it converts the unit into a single DIN slot:




I also got some genuine Outback rubber floor mats for a steal off eBay, and a set of Rhino Sportz roof racks because the Subaru ones I bought off Sam weren't compatible with some toys I'm hoping to mount on the roof.

And on Friday I got a brand new Varex muffler fitted and installed under warranty. On Tuesday, some replacement splash guards....

[Morgan]

Cheers! I'll look into them

Pics of CB?

What happened to your Varex?

Yeh I'm going to get some pics up when I get a chance.

Problem with the motor that controls the valve. Just real happy they sorted it out with no problems whatsoever

Picked up these Rhino roof racks on eBay:

All is going well with the Outback.

It has developed a slight oil leak though. Just cooks on the top of where the exhaust starts. Nothing major though. I just give it a clean every 6-8 weeks or so...
