You guys are the experts... Any way to do it without adjusting that torsion bar?

What if I just want a 2 inch lift for good look alone... Where can I get one???Joe

Thanks Joe

Somewhere I got the idea that the voltage regulator on a 85 model was not in the alternator..... Joe

Thanks Joe

I have to get pics.. There was actually two red brats on ebay around the same time period.. One was from Nevada and mine from AZ.. The really mint one that was garaged kept went for 6100 but had 160K.. Mine has 62K but has dings and the paint is chipped and so on... But I washed it and it shinned up nice....

Well its finally here my AZ. Brat... Picked it up tonight with very little light left... Paint is faded some but that was expected from a sun beaten car from AZ.... It seems the alternator is going... Volts are showing 18 volts pegged and the needle drops sometimes down.. The idiot lights are lighting up as well as the following dash light indicators " Stop Lamp emergency brake light " and a EGR light was lit. So do you guys think, because the alternator voltage regulator is shot that the other idiot lights are lit up???? And I guess it needs a new EGR thinger right??? Dash is cracked as I saw in the auction but the ac seems strong and its a strong runner all the way home.. No noises except possibly the failing alternator nosie.. The key for a 60K Brat was really worn.. But the AZ title from two years ago showed 55K when the last owner purcahsed it... The key makes me wonder as to why it is so worn... Things that make ya go HMMMMMMM. But no rust that I can see thank god and seems to be a strong runner.... Cant wait to see it in the day light better to examine her.... I need a new ant so I guess a hatch ant will work....

Hey I would like a set of those covers... Joe

Do you have the phone number to his shop maybe we could score some parts... Joe

Yes, it was great meeting all of you... What a cool group of people to hang with.... Im glad to be a part of this fine club.... Thanks All... Joe

Hey all sorry if this was already posted... I know I late in this.. but would you guys wanna make a list of things your bringing food wise and drink so we can see what is needed?? I want to know what I should bring??? Thanks all Joe...

Hey all, sorry to ask this again I know it has been asked in the past.... I know that the brats had two different types of motors with the same ea81 model number... 1. I was wondering of the two different types which motor out performs the other when it comes to power and acceleration???? 2. which one is better as far as maintenance???? 3. and finally of the model years of 1982 to 1987 which motor was in what years??? I hope that made sense... Thanks Joe

What do you guys think is it worth??? bid now is 4650.... I know the guy offered it to us for 3800... I emailed him and a day latter it was on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2474416987&category=6467

Being that you cant haul anything real heavy in a brat. Did anyone ever think about putting leaf springs on a Brat??

Are the wheel bearings pressed in????

No problems were found on carfax.. Does your email have a space between car and freak?

Give me your email address and VIN

Question... I have a ea81 with weber carb setup... The problem is the car will start but wont stay at idle. it runs for like 20 sec. What do you guys think is wrong???

Gee, LOL are you saying I look stupid ????? I may be just a dumb coal cracker ..... Joe

Im gonna call them and see if I can talk him down like you guys said... They dont have any ea81 wagons..... they have actually two coupes and maybe two hatches.. Oh and close by there is a lady that has a ea81 wagon in her yard non 4wd with power windows.. I think she would give it away but not part it out.. I didnt look at it too good oher than the inside.. color is blue..... Joe

Well the place was called FARNSWORTH AUTO PARTS in Fredericksburg, Pa I guess if I had a brat and really needed that door I would have spent that amount... They also had two caps for a brat one low and one med Ht.. They also had a junker turbo Brat but I didnt look at the engine.... Joe

Boy today I was at a junkyard that has a mint Brat passenger side door... So I ask what is the price.. The guy tells me 75.00 bucks for a door... WOW.... And earlier before I ask about the prices he tells me "Oh the older subaru's with a spay painted X are going to the crusher soon so get what I need..... Ya think the goof would of said " Gee I can at least make somethin on this car before I crush it and take like 35 bucks or somethin for it.. Not price gouge me with a outrageous price like that... Needless to say I turned and walked away... I hope he chokes on it LOL And here I was thinking I found a new place that was reasonable for us to buy from.... NOT Guess Im use to prices liek 25 a door.... Boy I feel better now that I vented.. LOL

Thanks I will check my mail... Joe
