  1. even with the low miles, that BRAT has lots of upper frame rot i can see in the picture on the right side rocker. I bet the frame is shot under the frame rails, at least up front. Be cautious of any work until you see how bad the rot is. Yeah low miles is worth something, but i just scavenge / try to go for bodies that are solid these days cause i seen too many rotted. Post some pictures of the frame rails up under the rocker panels, to where they arch up to the cowl area. I hope its solid though cause 600 is a lot if not.
  2. you mess with high pressure fuel, have fire extenguisher near, and escape route. could be it but that is just too odd to have it occur when you were messing with maf and valve cover air box. I saw the pic, airbox off for filter, bet its something like a hose there. If you have a working fuel pump, you will have fuel everywhere, so have a catch can and be careful.
  3. well the short list of must haves: replace windshield get exhaust with cats and 02's right now it has no 02 and it throws like 9 codes airbag light intermittent on, non horn, seems like clock spring as the light has stayed off a few times. front struts are VERY DEAD. It was not well maintained. rust and dents it does have newer clutch and newer brakes and tires are quite good.
  4. did title papers to me Friday. Still dont have the cash to do much more on it yet. It is debateable to part out, or fix and sell.
  5. I have some spare tires to trade for the pugs... Ben. I think maybe you killed the MAF. There should be one at wrench n go still. Up near the fence. Don't spray a maf unless you have received a maf code, they are fragile so you might have killed it the first time you sprayed it. what did you clean it with? MAF or brake cleaner. I hope you have this sorted out later today. I have spare mafs, for the ej22 series. cheers.
  6. There is much argument on why Subaru did not put tmic on the early cars, all the the up to say 1994 Turbo legacy. The argument goes, it can alow for higher boost if it is cool. But they tend to heatsoak, and then you have hotter air in the intake system. Subaru designed without to keep the air a constant temp. These can be like toasters in hotter summer days. It is probably best to not go with the smaller stuff they tend to heatsoak fastest. For best, go with front mount up by the bumper. Second best in probably the larger ones from the WRX, or watercooled from the older jdm ones. Third best is stock, nothing. 4th best if is the smaller Saab heatsoak stuff. I dont want to knock your want for more boost and power, but please research as much before you invest in something that in the summer, may not work sufficiently. There are always 2 sides to mods.
  7. I have always said more need to bring west coast cars back, its lot cheaper that battling the rust to make them nice. To repairs sut right, and then paint the car, cost over 1500 just in painting, not to mention labor. Those are by no means oem subaru wheels. Nice clean wagon and at a very affordable price, did you ship or drive it back?
  8. out with the coffee can mod lol seen here. yes and it was loud whistling when idle. back in with this: and i also sourced the scoop under covers from the same member and installed them as well seen here now, just the exhaust left for back to stock. Rust repair to start when i get some funds. Looks like my camera date proved we make it to 2012 and for fun lol
  9. I would be interested in the scoop for my 94SS as well if they are not too pricey. Wouldnt want to miss out on a batch of them.
  10. All my Subarus with frameless windows have badly scratched glass from non-secured up and down over the years. The new frames will prevent scratching because they stabilize the glass. Good job Subaru for fixing this problem of scratched side windows from the start. Thanks for listening to our legit gripes over the years. Now, please come out with the FWD with push button to AWD switch, and let us get 45mpg when in FWD mode, please listen SOA,
  11. To answer why they want it to vent to atmosphere, is because so many un-informed people think they are smarter than the engineers who have spent years researching the correct way a vehicle runs. In turn, they blow up way too many of these cars than is neccessary al while they add 200 pound speakers and make them slower than the factory makes them. rant over
  12. today 50 mph wind, head wind at times mostly cross wind, did 600 miles in the baja. will update soon on real but about 28 with that killer wind going 72mph i usually do 30 in it, but the 50mph wind in Nebraska/western iowa sucked i got sandblasted in a few parking lots from gravel.....
  13. How about, camp friday night at Lake Plamor (little unknown spot off I-80 in the sticks on gravel near a river and lake) and then I show you guys the Newton Junkyard and sho you the hoops there and we scrounge there, they are open til 1pm on Saturday and have lots soobs, ea82 or ea81's, 1SVX with 52k badly treated miles til tan failed, lots of 90-94 legs i think about 10 of those ere with ej22, a few impreztle, 3 outbacks, and a couple gen 3 legacyies, and they still have a xt5 stacked in the air with a good alternator and some newere stuff.... link http://www.camplakeplamor.com/ and a alternate is Rock Creek State Park close, maybe some of the WI guys and MO and NE and MN would come since it is central.
  14. snowflakes, 16" yes ben it didnt pop the radiator. I rechecked, showed wining bid of 1650 grrrr
  15. Those saying they don't like the mirrors, here is my valid response and it is two fold. 1: The BRAT had mirrors mounted to the door 2: It is very apparent the wind noise we get near the mirror triangles on the ones mounted to the window, on thie newer cars where it is mounted on the glass corner, not door. This is a solution to the mirror wind-noise. They may have fixed something by going back in time to the old version. good job Subaru And i big kudos of love for striving for better fuel mileage, and for going for less HP. I love lighter, less power, as quick if not faster with less power, and getting lots better mpg/ done with rant, and very good job Subaru.
  16. got outbid on this 2004 5pd with only 72k miles, lego in DM auction. I bid 800, the high bid was 975. the snowflakes would have been worth 400 and the engine worth the other. I was going to part it, but a trip to Omaha during the auction end did not allow me to bid like usual. Car was in Des Moines auction ended at 11:30 today. grrr.....2004 35th anniversary car........ and i lost the auction on the 2005 Sti tuesday. No new prijects. Airbags were even good on this one and it was very clean speed car.not a happy guy..
  17. a few post up i read you know of cars with the original headgaskets. Ej25 dohc cars? I would put money (on the dohc ej25) they are bubbling into the overflow jar after 150k.......good money that i don't have.. They may not be overheating, they may not be spitting the coolant out the overflow, but yes, i sayy they are blown and you will see bubbles after a 45 minute trip when you look on the overflow jar, that is blown headgasket. cheerrs
  18. this is a very known, but not acceptable issue with the weber redline kit. The apapter is a pos... plain out. it is not even worry to be in the kit. What a terrible adapter. I hope they read this and address the quality control. Until then, get really thick gaskets and silicon away. Silicon happy... don't forget to glue, jb weld, etc, the coolant portion on the plate. bh
