  1. I was able to get one today. And got a raincheck for another set when they come back in stock. I will probably sell the SAE portion on Craigs/ebay to cover my expenses.
  2. I think I will re-drill this to fit the 4 lugs. These are 15x6 steel and I probably will move my snows on the legacy to these rims, those are winterforce 185/65/15 I will do one and see if it will work or not. does anyone see a issue or think may not work?
  3. I don't think there will be reason to post again here, but ALL insurance companies are a scam when it comes to payout time on older cars of this era. We pay insurance to have coverage, (it is the law) and then they say the car is worthless. Yet, why do they charge so much for a monthly premium when they have no intention of ever paying a claim on one. scam
  4. agree, I lived in Denver CO for 8-9 years and can for sure say most people there suck at snow driving. compared to Colorado drivers in snow, people here in Iowa are much better imo. I could not believe how !-25 would be after a dusting even. Ridiculous, and yeah, living on a side street forget about snow plows. here in my small town Iowa, they plow constantly even with just a little snow.
  5. good luck using that link to buy one. classic, as figured, bait and switch, not available, etc. no way anyone will get one for that price. either local or online, bait and switch i say. go ahead, try it. try to get one.
  6. for 44 bucks, that set would be good if you are starting out,,,, although that set is nice, like over half the stuff in a set you will never need on a subaru. You will never need any standard/sae, you only need metric/mm You are much better off sticking to the sizes above, and the vice grips will help in sizes you don't have or need much, like the occasional 8mm, etc. get a good phillips screw driver, smaller one, and a medium one.
  7. individual wrenches or sockets, only really need to have size 10mm 12mm 14mm 17mm you can get by for most not needing this size, need for oil drain plug 19mm you can get by for most not needing this it is usually only needed for suspension stuff get "6 point sockets" in 3/8 drive in those sizes, and get box end wrenches in those sizes. ** do not get 12 point** ** do not get 1/4 in drive, too whimpy for tight stuff no need to get an entire set, you don't really need other sizes for subarus for most stuff. If you do not have a good vice grips, add that.
  8. Dl no tach, lacking options/optionless Gl tach, lots of standard option go here: http://www.indysworld.com/80s/ then go down to the middle, and click brochures. or c;ick to left and go to specifications, or else just click them all and remember what you are reading.
  9. I wouldn't do it not here in Iowa. they are good for high performance track cars; which a BRAT is not. Reason I said not here in Iowa, cause those ncie pretty holes and nice shiny slots, will be ugly nasty rust after a little drive in the salty roads here. And then they will look worse than a regular solid disc. go ahead, but I doubt this turns out as expected.. I bet :the rust protected" is a fail. I would bet my hard earned money on that one. Even if they put it in writing and promise you new exchange they are going to rust and look terrible.
  10. 2 fuel lines from the separater to the carb reversed? one is the supply, one is the return line...
  11. Sounds neglected, you said no oil on the dipstick. well, sounds like nobody cared for this. sure you want to go further?
  12. have you ruled out that when he ran it out, he might have pumped junk into the carb and blocked something? Pretty sure the filter would have caught the crud first...but that sounds like a possible thing. carb cleaner? It was running good and starting good til the time he ran it out of gas?
  13. going to go with a set of redrilled 6 lug wheels, 15" ; on stock 85 BRAT or stock 85 EA81 Hathcback. Both vehicles are staying stock for suspension, going with this size cause have numerous tires to choose from. These could possibly be mounted on either car depending on my mood. What is a good size that is not going to rub, something close to the stock 185/70R13? Don't really plan to do offroading just a good all season tire.
  14. EA81 vehicles have 2 Fuel filters. One filter is near the pump, under the car. One is actually a fuel separator, under the hood. Most people do not know there are 2. but now they know.
  15. Yeah definitely NEED to take the front covers and pulley off, and check the center cog make sure it is on the marks. I hope you used NGK plugs, and OEM plug wires, etc.
  16. The only thing that is going to limit payout is prior condition there is not looking so good, door, bottom rocker, and quarter panel. it has rot, the tire looks balding. they will not give you full price just alone on the prior condition of the rust/roughness. Now the rest of the car may have been like new interior wise, so that will help offset. based on my only time dealing with a car i owned got hit by a semi (semi driver pulled into his back quarter going down the interstate at 65mph) when my brother was driving it. Well, the adjuster came out, documented that my car was rust free, had all 4 brand new tires with receipts showing purchase like 2 months prior, new shocks all 4, and shiny clean paint, clean inside, and he gave what the car was worth. he siad if the car had been worn out and rough they would have given like 2/3 less, but the car was nice, the adjuster even commented on yeah, that was a nice one, we will pay you to fix it.
  17. Your timing belt is off a few teeth. Does the engine start pretty smooth for the first couple minutes, then shake after it has been run for like 4 minutes? I am asking because pretty much the only time i got those identical codes, that was the reason.
  18. Installed the new hatch struts too for the back glass hatch shell. It stays open on its own now.
  19. Another Iowa BRAT? You should keep whatever the intake stuff and emissions that the BRAT has, mean make whatever engine you put in have the same as what the one coming out had. -if that is possible. Make sure both starters are off to the side....
  20. fastened down except for the back mounts. This time will just drill and tap the floor. The front bolt holes lined up and was able to use factory floor holes.
  21. ej22t are sodium filled, and you need take precaution in handling, there is a service warning on it.
  22. still waiting on the strut cartridges, even thought the tracking still today shows estimated delivery dec 21:( Picked up a set of 02 WRX impreza seats today for the front.
