  1. I believe I recently heard on here that king springs is out of business.:-\
  2. It's been like this for the entire time I've owned it so I don't think its the alt.
  3. So is this my only solution? Was yours weak before you changed it and a lot better after?
  4. As far as I know the struts are the main thing that fails in the system, they start to leak. The air struts are very expensive the last I know. I believe most people will tell you that they just change them out for regular suspension.
  5. That's it though, no difference in power between older ones and newer ones?
  6. I would say find some stiffer springs. If you cut yours it will sit lower but it's still going to lean in the corners. I noticed that when I used adjustable struts that when I cranked them up I had a much stiffer ride in the front, but that wouldn't work for you because you want it lower:)
  7. My wipers on my Brat are extremely weak and slow even on high. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
  8. I always used an 8mm deep socket. But use a good quality one and be careful because you can break the socket fairly easily on those. Oops I guess I didn't read it right the first time!
  9. yeah that might not be good?!?! Well you'll get it! I'm sure it's something simple, it usually is and these motors are pretty simple so I'm confident you guys will figure it out! and if you don't just dump another motor in...I know someone will hook you up with one!!
  10. Are there certain years that the EA81 had more power than other years. I didn't know if the different lifters might effect the power etc. Thanks
  11. I'm not sure about others but I know around here WRX wagons hold their value more and are priced higher than sedans but I'm not sure about Leg wagons.
  12. actually yeah both my cars spew coolant when they warm up if the cap is off.
  13. It/s pretty much the same. but hauling the motor in a Brat is a lot easier....a lot less stuff to disconnect. But as far as removing the tranny its the same. All the same stuff to disconnect.
  14. yes you have to remove the y-pipe and maybe the mid pipe I can't remember. The only thing that makes it harder is the fact that you're on your back under the car.
  15. cool video! I wish that there were more of those still around! How many of you guys on here have a 360?
  16. I would look on ebay I believe I have seen some KYB replacements that fit the Gen 1 brats. Not positive though but worth searching for
  17. I dropped the tranny when I changed my clutch but honestly it probably is easier to pull the motor.
  18. Yeah we actually tried to get him to fix it in place but he wasn't comfortable doing it.
  19. Yeah we have just a "few" of those floatin around up here!
