Separate handbrake

You're right, I guess I'm just venting :P
My frustration though is from finding out that the duel brake project was a complete failure. Frustrated that the AWD system fights against us so much.
 
Holy :censored:!
He really did total the foz! You can read about it here

Glad those guys made it out of there alright... Quite amazing after seeing the damage done. After our last trip to New Mexico, he's spot on about being in the middle of nowhere. No lights, no cops... Everybody drives 85-90mph because of it.

That was an amazing read. I'm so glad they all made it out alive.

What a testamount to the Foz's safety :monkeydance:

There are numerous centre diff options:

1) 11kg diff centre. Just unbolt the rear extension housing, remove existing centre diff and install new centre;

2) 20kg diff centre. Change as per 11kg diff centre

3) DCCD- this is more expensive and more complicated, but still available.

NOTE: I am assuming that these diff centres will fit the D/R box but I have only had experience with the WRX box. Generally with Subarus they share as many bits as they can.

Don't forget the locking diff as per Venom :biggrin:

That's irrelevant. I've done over 200,000km in my Forester, most of which was out bush. She's been around WA countless times, taken me to secluded surf spots, rescued severely bogged rigs, pulled 'sunken' boats out of the water, hauled my climbing gear to remote cliffs and helped me move house twice. I do have a severe love/hate relationship with my car.

Guess I'm frustrated by the lack of options for us to make the car into what we want it to be. My mate went on a surf trip the other week that I hate to pass up on because I had major doubts that the Subaru would have made it down the required tracks. My mate came back a few weeks later with photos. I made the right choice. The track was almost impassable. I could have chucked $10,000 of mods into my Subaru and still wouldn't have made it, driver skill or not...not without receiving some damage at least. That hurt deep. Nothing hurts more than passing up on a surf trip because you're vehicle isn't capable :(

That hurt deep?
Really?

Perhaps you should get some perspective on life!

Sure it may hurt A LITTLE to miss out on a really good surfing trip but get real! Are you gonna cry everytime you miss out on a surf?
Is it gonna "hurt deep" cos you're not a billionaire & cant go surfing all over the world?

Read this post mate...get some perspective & stop whinging!!!

How about you let people have their own views and opinions and be enough of a man to not take criticism of a car so personally? That could work too.
 
Come on people. Lets all just take a deep breath & settle down :exclaim:

Sorry guys, sorry Vy@ch (it is after all his thread). Sometimes I find it hard to withhold my opinions when someone really annoys me :redface:

From now on I'll ignore him, or at least endeavor to lol.
 
Oh we are a grumpy lot today aren't we? And on a Friday.
Still try bagging out commodores on a commie forum and you'll get much the same result.

Wow! what a hot and sometimes angry discussion. Take it easy friends
It's just a new mod for our subies. I'll try make this sh*t and make some vids how it works.
And now some new pics and videos with installed mod.

Hahaha thats awesome....best video ever! :monkeydance:

I was wondering what he was up to when he took the spare tyre off lol...
 
Best to leave the handbrake at home- that way there is a nice feed to look forward to when you get home
 
Heyya! I'm back again!

At last I made this mod. It works great! This is very helpfull and usefull alternative instead welded or locked rear diff.

Hey guys, it's very simple if you remember my thread https://offroadsubarus.com/showthread.php?t=1700

But I made some new mods, like install Bilstein cartrige in front and KYB in rear, and very big and bold rear springs. And rear winch 4500lbs. Tomorrow I'll try put some pics in my thread.

P.S. I forgot about some extra mod- LPG! Dual fuel system, propane\gas.
