I would take the boost controller off and install a boost gauge if theres not one in it already. (helps me know when I'm actually boosting seeing as the one on the dash says its running when its really not) i can be doing 55 and be at 5lbs and the dash turbo light is engaged but 6 is where I actually get boost. I normally fill my tank when it gets a notch above the red mark and end up putting in around 11-12 gallons. (I have the amber dash) so I'm not sure how many notches you have compared to me or if its the same. I usually also average 33-35 highway on that 12 gallons. as for the Trip computer thing, i would check the connections. as far as i know (not a master at subarus ha) but i don't think there is a fuse. I would personally just replace most if not all fuses, to be on the safe side (who knows it could fix your gauge issue. You are correct on the analog sender it is pretty different (found that out today as well). but there is always that route. Different question is yours a sedan or wagon? and maybe post some pics?

Yes mine is accurate as hell! i also have the trip computer in my car as well. but do you have the Green or orangeish yellow dash?

I would try a new sender unit for the digi dash. Also maybe check that your wiring for the sender unit to the rest of the harness are plugged in right. today i checked mine after i was having issues with my fuel gauge and one wire wasn't fully connected.

Thats fine no big rush. but This car is beautiful!

Do you have corner (front) lights? also would it be possible to send me pics of all the gen1 parts you have? Shortysayhi@yahoo.com

Luck of the draw actually, i was up in boulder with my dad (he's buying a justy) and we asked the used parts dude if he had any brat parts. said tailgates are in bad shape you can take them.... they are in pretty GREAT shape besides a dent and no handles! so i took em! Heres some pics. this don't look too good :\ Also just mocked this up to see if its possible Also decided to just have a Extra car around so the 1.8 isn't going into the brat, I'm getting a 2.2.

To be honest no i didn't know that, this is my first brat so I'm still fining new things out all the time!

The loyal headlights i would end up doing the exact same thing that I've done on my gl10 which is the hid/projector conversion (its relatively simple) and increases visibility a whole ton. The main reason I'm using the dual range is I'm thinking of having 2 different coil over sets (one winter, one summer which is lower) and since i live in conifer (8500-9000) we have gotten 4 feet of snow in one night and i prefer the dual range over normal AWD, but also being able to drive to the ski slopes in colorado it pays to have more the awd, and in the summer its cheeper on gas since its fwd. A 2.2 conversion is going to be done just a ways down the road (with the dual range). I have to get a bond title on the brat anyways and those can take along time to get, and i don't have enough money for a 2.2 conversion right now seeing as I'm a senior in High school still and no job.

Nope im in conifer, and my brat was in indian hills (10 min away from me) Picked these up today now i got 2 H type wheels. the one bad thing about the tailgates is no handle latch :\ gotta find one!

Half of my drive is down hill normally (8500 ft to around 5280) so save a lot of gas there but I've got my car set up where I can be doing high speeds 55+ (even up hill) maintains same speed, with out the turbo going. And around 430 miles per tank but I always make it so I put 12 gallons in. And it should go up when I put the front air dam on to get more downforce.

Definitely not air suspension seeing how the compressor and air tanks are inside drivers front fender. it's what 'TheLoyal' said it is.

86 ea82t Sedan. i get 28 city, and most i got highway 35 (with 4 studded snows) and this is hills and mountains

Yeah that was the other idea stated, so that there was more offset. Im not sure if thats even safe... let alone a good idea Haha

Nope, they are 8J Weller 8 spokes originally destined for a Toyota Hilux, and they were re drilled to the 4 lug.

Oh and i also have to find a place for the warning lights (i.e. charge, break fluid light etc..)

i actually cut the cluster in half (where the diagram of the car is) has to be moved, and i added a ea82 center clock.

Well worked on it today and gave up on the loyal dash it started becoming to hard of a task to get to fit let alone have the heater work... so i swapped the brat dash back in, but changed the gauges to the loyal ones with some modifications. Also i started fixing the fenders that were bashed in. will get pics tomorrow. Also started on the seats and ideas on the suspension conversion.

I'm deffinetly going through with the headlight task but it will have to wait till I get the engine, and fenders, bumpers fixed. Yes the dash is in I'm also putting the heater module in from my wagon (keep things easier) the only issue I am having on the dash is since I had to cut about an inch and half on both sides to clear the doors fixing the heater vents and sides is a challenge. I will get better pics this weekend. There is about half a inch gap from the bottom window sill to the edge of the dash gotta fix that as well hmm

Yeah its a great truck! And its the only way out of our driveway when the snow falls. its the j2000 (longer wheel base then your j200)

Not totally sure why they didn't/ haven't made an AWD option for it, that seems more wanted then just a rear wheel drive subi

Doo tell Dooooo tell!!! :D

Which one, 5 speed Hi/low or the rx trans? (I'm not sure they differ in weight but its possible). i am dropping a hi/low trans in the coming week ill weigh it unless someone else has the info.

Look at the hid bulb it self, this rarely happens (it happened to me tho) the bulb filament things on the top broke so it didn't work and my other side was working but didn't sound right. Also you could raise the hood lever things so its harder to open your hood, that might deter some one if they are messing with your car.
