Subarus invade Silver Lake Sand Dunes
We met up with a couple of friends and fellow UA-cam people to see if our Subaru's could handle at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Mears, Michigan.
Granny had a lot of fun on test hill and we all enjoyed breaking stuff and getting our bumpers ripped off. It's definitely worth the trip if you know what you're doing and don't care about your paint.

    Hello, Your channel is great, thank you for all the great content. It is 2025 and my first gen Forester is still going strong. I am considering installing the TORQ locker, but cannot find a dealer in Eastern Europe. @TorqMastersIndustries are you able to help. I am located in Bulgaria, but a dealer anywhere in Europe will work for me - can you recommend one!

    Hi, I tried installing it into a R160 from Subaru B3 to replace my R150 on my forester SH (2012). Weirdly, one side ratchets freely when I turn left, but when I turn right it locks up! Same behavior in reverse... When I turn right but go in reverse, it ratchets, and when I turn left and go in reverse, it locks up! Any ideas?

    • @powerofyourbrains
      @powerofyourbrains Рік тому

      The wiring changes year to year but the mechanism and differential itself is exactly the same, even in CVT models. This is why we don't give detailed instructions, but if you're comfortable with interpreting a wiring diagram this should be entirely the same general concept. This mod is only not possible with non-vtd manual transmissions such as the MT5, because they don't have a clutch pack.
