No joke man!

yup ,starting here in the US in like 1972 ..or '73 ?? with the Coupe only. If you can find an FE model fivespeed you'll save some gas. 1978-9 FE Man , I've got to get back to the Vintage Fall Fest at Lime Rock one of these years..... :-\ Did the car get lots of attention?

whoa , does that mean you over this end of the state and didn't call me to come check it out??????? Hope to see it soon.

spectacular ....really

Outstanding couple of days and a we did a good 70+ miles of trails. OK , go back to sleep now ...

If you're interested in one of the last new windshield gaskets left you can contact me at moosens at yahoo. I also have a very nice low mile windshield but its here on the right coast. . "Drivesubies" has crated NEW stock of windshields ,the absoulte last of their kind. If you really want to do it right snag one from him. Otherwise a good used and of course get one of those new gaskets from me and you'll be all set for a long time.

No sweat, I'll be happy enough doing light duty and netting creatures with the kid. I might go look at that 45K Loyale wagon on C'list in Penssauken ... or something like that. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=115439at.

All depends on if we go to the races at NJMP. AMA Superbike and other road racing motorcycle classes - SuperStock , SuperSport , and wheateverthehell else they have these days. If we go we'll be in FWD - that's right. Pine Barrens , Wharton State Forest. We'll likely head down Friday afternoon and camp in the woods unless it looks like hurricane weather ,etc.. Talk to me if you think you might make it. Fred , I swear this time I won't blow you off. It'll be all about hitting the woods and my son can deal with not catching reptile and stuff for a little bit. Cheers!

There's no matching left mirror for the type on the Brat in this picture -post #1. The set I took home with me is for the '79 ,like I said ,they didn't start dual mirrors untill '79 so they are not the same style. All that said I have here at home a new set of 1979 side view mirrors. PM and we'll talk soon.

Told ya you'd get it done no matter what.

Noooooobody went to this ??? Please , please , please don't make me go over to the NAUSIAC site to hear about it.... please....

Terrible , just 13. Only good news was Ben Spies' performance.

American Ben Spies takes the pole position !!!!!! Hayden also on the front row !!! 3PM Eastern time - you know where I'll be - watching SPEED TV Greatest road racing action anywhere and look how few people appreciate it. Turkeys!

Best to use an engine crane. No friend's with one around? I picked mine up on sale at like PoopBoys for $119. Saw them even lower than that once on Sale for $89 !!! Jacking will do but you'll need a couple of blocks of wood under the heads to rest it back down on and I really can't verify that you'll get the oil pan off and out that way since I've always picked the engine right out and worked on it that way. Yes ,one nut removed from each side. Mounts stay attatched and lift up. If you don't have the $ for the engine crane , one guy on each side and you lift it right out. But you'll be needing to jack the tranny slightly along with a second jack. Cheap way - use one jack under the pan with wood so you don't hurt the pan. Second jack under tranny to support it when you go to seperate the engine from tranny. 4 nuts on flywheel , leave the intake on just disconnect the fuel line and throttle cable. REmove the radiator first , it gives you more room. And always disconnect the battery -first. When its time to part the two use a putty knife ,then thin flathead screwdirver. There's dowel pins that often like to stick. They should stay inserted into either side ,usually the engine side. Go at it,you'll do fine and anything not mentioned will become obvious and easy enough to deal with. Keep that tranny at the height required to seperate the two which is when the motor mounts clear the bracket by about an inch. When you put them back together have that buddy again and carefully align the shaft of the tranny without stressing weight on it. A little jostling sometimes but the dowels will eventually align and you push the engine back onto the tranny ,throw at least a couple of the nuts back on and get them closed up to each other before resting the engine and tranny back down into the brackets while guiding the motor mount stud in....we've all done it ,you'll be fine. Good luck.

OK that was a little crude , but you laughed Edited out of kindness... ..not because they told me to. WTF ? that few two wheel people here??????

http://rally-america.com/rallycross.php Geez ,where have I been? Thanks to my son for telling me about **** EUROPEAN STYLE R/X ***** Travis Pastrana and the gang coming. NJMP in Milleville ,NJ We MIGHT go but really can't be sure. Sunday is the main event day. Might try to make it. There'll be 3 events here on our coast and 3 on "their coast". For you east coast folks the later dates are in Oct. and Nov. No time to add links now - use Google. Cheers! ....I'm doing my joker lap right now

Valve covers - which are actually rocker covers (don't worry I say Valve too) they're a piece of cake - a few minutes each with the exception of possible having to scrape the old ones out a bit. Oil pan count on a good half hour AFTER you've spent the time lifting ,etc. Plenty of gaskets out there. Good luck. Oh , do the oil pump too ... And inspect the head gaskets for leakage too. When they sit a LONG time they can soak thru.

no bulge - 1600 The other one has to be 1800. Measure them flanges across? 1800 will be a little wider. Bad week for money but I wouldn't let that 1600 pipe go for any less than $100 ..... maybe if you eBay it start there and let it roll. Might fetch a solid $200 if the right owner shows up. Good luck.

Make me jealous ,go ahead. If you don't know what I'm talking about you STINK. No offense to those who do STINK. Nicky - bad wrist. Spies - might be his first win. Edwards - ridiculous interview which should cause him to loose his job - which he desrves anyways - never should have been in this class this long. Don't know these guys? Go scratch.

...well , it WAS a picture posting thread stop whining and post more pics!

Aircraft guys. EAA is it? http://www.eaa.org/ Looks like you need to join to find Classifieds. Good luck. I'm sure there's a couple other places you might do well hunting at.

eBay. One seller had remans for the price of dirt. Or send yours out for about $45 plus shipping but you're going to get the same deal in the remans and the current seller was blowing them out for like $30 or so ! WHOA!!!! look at the price now! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1977-78-79-SUBARU-1600-DL-GF-BRAT-1-6-REMAN-DISTRIBUTOR-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ350220572063QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I've already gotten mine - paid a few bucks more but I ain't cryin' over it. Good luck,Bobby. Edit - just noticed after posting that this is for a Calif. MT but look thru their stock or contact them. I got one for 4WD - 49 States - non Calif. and I'm sure you'll score one too. That Calif. model is e'tron - no points.

Yikes, well if I had another 1400 I'd throw it to you. We'll have to see what we can do. Maybe Charlie has something to use for now.

Cool !!! Talk to you soon.

Now I'm getting all tingly !!!!
