USMB came alive again! It got a big update with a new look. I’m still getting used to it.

Suby club seems dead again after that last little blip. Wtf is everyone??

Dunno that we’re keeping it alive. I stopped posting here because I was posting after myself on more than one occasion.

Ppl seem to avoid forums like the plague!

And the Ultimate Subaru Message Board (USMB) went down a few weeks back - maybe even two months ago. Sad day, that forum was somewhat still moving. This one is at a stand still.

In other news, the brumby punched out a solid 1100kms last weekend without missing a beat. We were on a mission…

Dunno if I mentioned it before - in Jan I finally brought home the ver4 STI converted SF foz that a mate gave to me with blown head gaskets. Fuck me that car is fast - I can’t change gears quick enough when I first drive it while giving it a boot full! Looking at club rego-ing that one. Would make a good daily but would be wasted on our flat straight roads. It was built for the daily commute in the Dandenong ranges as a complete sleeper. It’slowerd stance and performance are the only thins that give it away.

Not much else going on, just work and stupid fuel prices - which got me wondering about whether or not we’ll make it to Subinats this year ;(

Someone got itchy feet.

What happens when Mrs Barbs is driving a more powerful Subi than Mr Barbs?? That’ll be interesting.

Sounds like an awesome plan. The booster H6 is a real animal! I enjoyed a trip in the passenger’s seat of Marty’s Levorg - that thing was sick and it wasn’t on the full boost it could run, I think it was only 8psi - it was tuned for 24 on the corn juice. That’s one modern modded vehicle I’d own if I could afford it! Alas that’s not an option now.

I’m sure you’ll cook up an awesome setup that’ll go hard. Dare I say, you won’t look back after a boosted H6.

You were warned!!

Is it possible for the bore to go out of round with this sort of work being done to it?

I thought you’d have it close decker then bore out the cylinders. I could be wrong as I’ve never done a closed deck job on an engine before.

Glad to hear stuff is getting done!

Thanks for the update Tim!

My primary question was around na-t conversions for EJs. I don’t have any EZs to play with, I’m still firmly in EJ land and that’ll do me for a while.

It’s all good info non the less!
