Scored one from a For Ranger. Cut it down a bit and rewelded it. Did some fun stuff like hit it withe the lazer to scribe lines and stuff. Fun. My Brat is a happy Brat. Touch up and paint tomorrow. Alaong with more pics and narrative. This'll give an idea though.

I didn't uz it was all gooey, so I used the one from the OBS I used to have.

Perfect, thanks. I sent him the links.

You mean to say that they would be longer or something if the car was lifted?

Thanks, #2 is what I was after. 2 or 4wd xt6 plate? which clutch? I'm partial to the ea82 console swap. Looks nice and natural. But I'll give the guy both options and let him decide.

Who knows what kind of stuff we can throw in the back on the hatch when I send it. . . ?

I wanna help a guy out, but it's been 7 years or more since I did one and can't accurately remember how and what's all involved. Searched, can't find the write-up. Thanks. EZ

I guess I got you confused with a guy in Shoreline who had a pretty sweet hatch, but was having some frustration with it and wanted to sell it. Anyways. Yeah, lemme know.

Very nice. Like I said, aren't you glad you didn't sell it? So when are we gonna pose yours and mine together for a USMB super teaser? You're in Seattle, right? We both have imprezas and lifted ea81s, right? Could be a pretty nice pic.

Pretty hatch haunt. Aren't you glad you didnt' sell it? That's not necessarily true. Mine's been lifted for 6 years, and it's still pretty beautiful. Just because you take a Soob off road, doesn't mean you have to trash it.

OK, Update. Don't think it had anything to do with the temperature. Was kinda skeptical about that initial diagnosis, cuz I've had several of these Webers on my cars, and never that problem. Cold or otherwise. Even with the temps in the 50s, it still had problems going up the big hill to get to my house. (about a mile long or so) I'm probably 200 feet above sea-level, maybe 3, so it's not an elevation thing either. Long steady hills seemed to be what pissed it off. I got around to changing the fuel filter in the front and I cleaned and re-oiled the KNN. Took it for a drive, attacked the big hill, and had no problems, it growled right up to the top. I think the problem is solved.

No. That stuff usually wouldn't come up unless you had wrecked the car. Then they check #'s and make you show receipts from where you got the replacement parts when they inspect it for a rebuild title.

Got it. 874364 I sent you an email about 10 minutes ago. EZ

It's not too bad. I let it run for about an hour when it first got here with the AC cranked.

I'd vary that to say "gently" rather than HARD. It'll go out of 4X if you press it down gently whle driving in a straight line. Goose the gas just a little while doing it. If all of the above suggestions fail, just jack up one side off of the ground. The wheels will unbind. Tell her next to only drive it in 4X when NOT on paved surfaces.

Thanks bigtime. I never woulda found it. There was just the smallest hint of gold metallic showing. I wiped it off, and it was in perfect condition, very readable.

I need to match it to the body if I'm gonna send it to Australia. It's friggin' freezin' outside, so if I know where to look, I can maybe keep my fingers from falling off. Thanks. EZ

Very nice wagon. The black pugs look sweet. How do we get a few of these lifted EA cars together?

Ya know, I'd really like to build another. Just to do it. Most likely I'll ship it to AU. There's a shortage of hatches there. It's got working AC too.

OK, got it home. Paid him 25 bucks for gas, he threw it on his dolly and hauled it @35 miles to my place. What a beauty in the daylight. It's in almost perfect condition for having 206k miles on it. Here's some pics. It's been sitting, so it's a little damp inside, hence the foggy windows. No smell though. pheewww. The sunroof doesn't leak!

I'll meet up with him at noon to pick up the car! Pics to follow.

You should take a walk thru the REI parking garage on any given day. You'd take that back with the quickness. lol Is Tahoe the West Coast? Does Tahoe have any Subaru only Junk Yards? Seattle does. Search for Aaron's Auto Wrecking, White Center.

I went up late in the day to look for Austin and Carl. Austin posted it days before, so you kinda did get a call. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=83235 I wasn't really interested in a group thing, just me and my dog and a little fun in the Brat.

I can see a line thru there. Keep in mind, I never did say they are rock crawlers. But it does pretty darn good, better than I remembered.
