  1. I'm not positive but I think so. Maybe start another post about that and see who chimes in ... ? Also going to need some mods. Consider that the 2.2 has the 5lug wheels , would need to swap axles , or some frankenstein axle deal , which I recall hearing about too. Would be cool to have the 14's all around. They'd fill those wheel arches and look pretty btchin. Also give you many more options for tires. I see you just sent a PM ... be right there.
  2. Steve , you talk to Charlie Miller over at Premier? Tell him I said hi. Might take some refreshing but he'll remember me.
  3. I love my '92 FWD 2.2 No oposition here. I'm all for keeping the bodystyle on the road in the most efficient and sensible manner possible and uh ....that'd be it !!! Good luck and please post pics of progress. I've seen Subafreak stuff that 2,2 into a Gen I Brat but he hasn't finished it yet.
  4. Lots of time and money to make it 4WD. Yours is a Stage I which can indeed be a 1977. The later half saw the Stage II which looks like the '78-9. Have fun with it and pass it along to someone who'll appreciate it as is. You can only have them in original condition once. When things pick up you'll be able to get your money back and then some and have $$$ for your real 4WD project. You'd be wasting a classic and only get laughed at anyways unless you unload huge money to make it something that'll be special to you for like ...a couple of runs. If it has a 1400 it's probably pre-'77 , check the date on the door jamb. Check the engine casting for EA63 or 71. Have fun!
  5. You need to have a pro do it or drill holes and spray the inside of rocker panels and or "frame rails" , unibody supports ,etc... IF you really want it to last. That is according to my 1978 wagon - always a CT car - still alive and well and kicking rump roast. Good luck.
  6. Sounds like the best Loyale wagon one could possibly put together in my opinion. Touring !!! I had one , loved it !! Turbo - I sold mine :-p - Dual range 5spd LOVE THOSE !!! . You've got a package I'd gladly pay good money for. I've put the 80's behind me but if I ever go back that'd be the exact ride I'd want. ENJOY !!
  7. Rule breaker !!! I'll catch up to this at a better time. The Snow Shark !!! Shown over sand ....
  8. "S U B A R U and nothing else" or "It's a S U B A R U and not anything else" get the idea? If you have a similar one ,please offer your suggestion. Let's see if there's one people would actually pay for and hopefully one of our sticker/decal/printing wizz folks will pick it up. Personally , my issue is the idiots that think my '78 4WD with the iron 2 x 4 front end potector is a Datsun ,or ??? Another one I'd like but would cause some problems would be "It's a white guy's car , too flippin bad for you" ..because that's an issue here too. I'm not the first blanco to point this out , they have huge grins on their faces untill they make out that its a white guy driving it , then their face turns to an angry frown. My apologies to those I've offended , but you shouldn't be if you're here as a Subaru owner.
  9. Going to have to take it out later today just to say I took it out in the blizzard. :-p One foot and still coming down !!
  10. Sure am curious. I've only got new stock m/s tires , nothing with spikes,bolts,etc.... but I'm willing this year. They will let me have a go ,right? Stock '78 4WD wagon. Pittsfield? Damn sure cold enough this year.
  11. When someone posts a 1400 in clean unrusted condition that'll be the most simple and open looking engine bay. I think the 80-84's are the most cluttered. That is of the old era.....
  12. Nothing I wish to write here would be in good taste ....:cool: Basically he felt he had to show he was king daddy of something among a community. Too bad he chose ours. He has issues from being overweight and having too much money. And this is representative of a NASA scientist , so he claimed to be. Trust me , I could go on ... and on .....:-p
  13. Oh , ok , sorry. I thought he got a grey market one , but it's been a while and he's not a person I really give a rat's tail to remember anything about.
  14. Silicon spray - won't stick , doesn't hurt the rubber.
  15. hahaha ,same here. It was like just sweatshirt weather. Jacket had me sweating. 'sup Matt !
  16. I thought "NASA" Scott in VA had one. Our rocket scientist ...The guy with the SubaruBrat dot com website who spent thousands of dollars on his Brat only to have/let it rust out disgracefully.
  17. I've been wondering about certain people and objects underwater too .... like the Snow Shark ..... yackitty yak ..... don't hijack How about some pride in YOUR ride ? Share a story along the lines of mine ....Cheers !
  18. Thanks for posting that , Pat. Hope all is well and Happy New Year. Whip out the dremel for the EA81 if intimidated. Otherwise just get to work and follow my post and you'll have happy, warm toes in short order. Cheers!
  19. Someone recently posted a pic of the label which tells you to depress the clutch when shifting to 4WD. I think it was out friend from Honduras - Loyale 2.7Turbo. And let's not forget the first 4speed hi/lo where you yanked the lever towards you - downward. 1981 BRAT Many of us wish it was RWD when in 2WD .... but no aaron , these cars are all dedicated FWD Cheers!
  20. Man , this is the Historic Forum , right? We're talking about rare parts and our friend in Honduras searched and found an answer thanks to archivals. Danny W , a.k.a. "drivesubies" is the seller.
  21. Go Connie !!! Might get my FWD out today , we'll see. Hey you know , you gotta see your neighbors sometime ..... snow events give you that rare opportunity. :-p
