Bump?

My stock 81 Brat does exactly the same thing, yet it has a manual choke.

I've got horrible 155's on my Brat, all mismatched and semibald. Weee!

ehehe, thats funky. What language are those error messages in?

Where can I see the original Brat design? Oh and looking good:drunk: Oh oh, and which tool on photoshop you use to change colours etc?

Sure is, all I'm getting from the whole site is :-\

Yea so on an 81 Brat, they would be the two rocker cover vents?

Error?

Now the Fuel pump is down in the left front corner of the deck in my Brat isn't it('81)? When you turn the ignition on you can hear it ticking away like it should, but it seems to be going flat out the whole time, is this normal? I thought it would just pump as its needed, but not when the car is stopped. This would probably add to bad fuel mileage too if it were a problem. Is it? JohnB

Sounds good, So only 5 speed 2wd uhhh:-\

I thought I read somewhere that there were some 5 speed ea81 boxes? eh?

That WRX justy is gangsta:slobber:

Its a pretty good site aye. Thats where I found my Brat. edit: look what i just found, a NZ made ea81 powered hovercraft http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Boats-marine/Other/auction-37771988.htm

Down your way actually, It was just out of Queenstown/Arrowtown. Got lost in Christchurch, SH1 dissappeared on us. Oh yea and I found a wreckers with a slightly older gen 2 brat with some of those 6 spoke white wheels, Would they be wider than the ones on here already? I also found this morning that the clutch cable hadn't come loose, the coller on the pedal end had broken off, hence no clutch. A pair of vice grips works just the same untill I can put in the cable off the wrecked gen 2. Also, is $180nz a good deal on a set of 5 of those wheels? I might just try buy the whole thing, has a decent looking engine and gearbox, and grey leather seats.:cool:

Yeah it says 81 on the ownership papers, first registered January 82, Stereo, probably just a el'cheapo head unit and some decent door 6 by 9's or something, see whats cheapest.

Any ideas which colours are which? I think this post may get a tad misshapen, I think I might take the canopy off during the summer months, looks a bit strange with it on, and visibility etc etc i guess.

Oh, o well! I'm having trouble finding the upload thing, might just put the rest on photobucket, save the forums some space.

Ok, thanks, I'll put the rest in there possibly, heres one anyway. Oh and the headlights are pointed a tad low, hard to see. I'm Sure I'll be able to get that right though.

ok, well I got it home, didn't miss a beat for the whole 1300km trip, just needed a slight retarding of the timing while we waited for the ferry. Only a few things the matter with it, this morning after the the whole trip, the clutch cable came loose by the pedals, in the middle of town, had to start in gear and turn the motor off to change direction, good lesson though i guess. Seems to chew through gas a bit, might just need a tune up. Umm The heater seems to be always on hot. And there is wiring for a radio, but its not there. Any comments appretiated, and how should I put pictures on here?

Thanks for all the quick replies, I'll post some pictures as soon as I get home(thursday). From what the seller has told me it has spent untill a few years ago at least, indoors. JohnB

Hello, umm, I'll introduce myself, I'm John, and I am getting a Gen 1 Brat in the in a few days. It was advertised as an '82 but reading through all the wonderful info on this site, weren't the square headlight style Brats introduced in 82? This one is definately an earlier model brat with the round headlights. I'll try and get some pictures over the next few days when I get it home. Its identical to the one in 75subie's thread and has only done 64000km. And a question or two, what sorta cruising speeds can they manage? This is the 1800 4 speed dual range one(are there any others?). And I don't plan any major modifications, maybe just a stereo etc. But was wondering as it is tricky to get a limited slip diff, is it possible to easily put individual controls on the breaks, to stop certain wheels from spinning? Just thought it might be a cheaper, and slightly more fun alternative to the lsd. Hope this hasn't already been covered and I make sence. No doubt you will all be hearing from me a little more often from now on. Brats of this era don't seem to be very common where I live so I think i've got a bargin. JohnB

Very nice video, looks fun.:-p

Woah, thats identical to the one I'm picking up in 4 days, paint scheme, canopy, exactly:clap:. The one I'm getting has only done 64000km(divide by 1.6 to get miles). I'm new to this site, first Subaru, first car. What more can you guys say about these things? JohnB
