  1. And another question... what the biggest tire i can run on my brat with these? there the 15" flat spoke... i was thinking like 195/65/15? No lift
  2. If the gas tank in your Brat is leaking, you could patch it. I dont care what anyone says; ive used 100% silicone before. And thats what my dad used when he worked on RV's as well. just my 2 cents there are other ways too, like Welding, but fumes are a problem
  3. Ok, now that that's clear, I have to find some...
  4. Forgive me as I've never had a set before. Will any of these work: http://www.jcwhitney.com/wheel-locks-and-lug-nuts/peugeot-505/c3863d1758j1s21.jcwx
  5. Can i use stock subaru lugs for 8 spoke 15" peugeots?
  6. My clutch cable broke first day I drove it... I took the pedal off as well, just be sure not to loose that C-Clip, like I did for a month.
  7. The other day i went and picked up a pair of GL seats to throw in the Brat that were in much better shape then mine... But i still did some of my own upholstry work. Before A little 3M adhesive later... Still not the best looking, but sure are comfortable I used the material from what was remaining of the passenger seat; Stich reaped the side that i needed, put some more foam in, and glued it over the existing one
  8. Shouldnt it have the 1600 logo on the hood, or was that just wagons from over seas?
  9. So last year my grandmother and father surprised me with a 1985 Brat a month before my 14th birthday. I really love this thing, who could hate it? My father has been a master mechanic for 20ish years and he's had me working on just about every car he has. I do most of the work on the Brat myself and whatever i can't do he helps/directs me how to do it. You cannot beat the simplicity of this thing, i replaced the CVs, bearings all around, tie rods inners and outters, and ball joints in two days. All by myself minus having the rears pressed. I've spent hours reading on this board, and i think i have a pretty decent Brat (If i do say so my self ) The only rust I've found so far is on the tail gate, which was missing the chrome. But i fixed that, thanks to mr.Tajman. My dad says that the engine has absolutely no "blow-by" and doesn't tick at all not bad for 260,xxx miles. You guys would probably be glad to hear that I've been converted from a domestic lover to a straight up Subaru fan! Once i get a lil more cash flow im planning to have an Rx, xt, gl-10, (etc.) I'm dreaming big, i know. I love this board, everyone is great on here and so willing to help. I promise to keep Subaru dream alive... I'll get pics up later
  10. yeah, I went and got a set today and put em in... SOO much better, someone had put a first Gen seat as the driver, holy cow didn't even bolt it down all the way. Any time you'd hit the clutch you rock backwards, breaking was even worse. Thanks man :cool:

    My 89 RX

    Wow, such a clean car
  12. I know ive put up 3 or 4 threads about seats, this should be the last... Can i put a pair of seats from an EA81 wagon into my brat, i know the tracks are the same. But will they clear with enough room? Once again all advice is greatly appreciated
  13. I think a moderator has to do it, but I may be wrong
