    i might be. what would a rough estimate be for a whole set?
  2. turbosubarubrat
    wish i did. i dont really have that many 1st gen parts since there hard to find. im working on 2 78's and a 79 so all the first gen parts i have came with them so i need them to put them back together.
  3. turbosubarubrat
    i think ebay but im not sure since i got them a while ago, they only cost like $16 or $18 shipped. i can check when i get back home since im out of town until tommorrow. i can tell you it is way better than paying $90 for a set of lug nuts plus you dont have to swap out your lug nuts if you want to go between steel and aluminum rims.

    i know they can be fast if you put a ej in it but the only upgrade it might get thats not stock is maybe a ea81 with a 5 speed d/r 4wd transmission which can not compete with a pontiac 400 with the 400 turbo transmission

    got it (pics soon) its a 83 dl and has sat for 10 plus years (tags expired in 2003) so its rusty and non reparable has no title so what is not not useable is getting chopped and scrapped. when i say its rusted its rusted, the tail gate fell off and was hanging by the top two hinges, rockers are completly gone, the rails are cruchy, doors are rusted out at the bottom, the bed has a board over it since its rusty, the hooks support in the rear almost ripped off when pull it onto the trailer so we had to put the chains on the torsion bar. i got a bunch of parts in the cab but i wont find out what all i got untel i get back from vication in ashland and can tear it down im glad i got my rump roast down there since he was going to tell the escavator operator to put it in the construction dumpster tommorrow he bought the place with it on there and hes getting a new house built on the property. also got a nice air paint gun for free which cost 60-70 bucks thats from harbor that i plan i trying out(i already have a old craftsman that i got over a year ago).

    project starting up again im working on getting a 82 brat for free in mcminville which will either be her parts depending on the shape of the car or become a living brat again .

    he had pictures on the car at the show of it cut up but i didn't have my camera then the guy said he gave up on the forum since he could post on it (not sure which forum he was trying get on). any way my dad was interested in the hatch back but the geo still get 40+ a gallon which is great for going around to look at stuff thats far away that you find on craigslist. i think he will be happy with his 79 brat once i get done fixing it up since hes always wanted a brat plus he can fix his 68 gto if he wants something fast.

    if you really want a subaru replacement http://www.subarupartsamerica.com/parts/1985/SUBARU/BRAT/GL/?siteid=216122&vehicleid=1267747&section=FRONT%20DRIVE%20AXLE some stuff is way over priced and some is not like the tail lights $28 shipped if i remember right
  9. turbosubarubrat
    yah he does
  10. turbosubarubrat
    forgot to mention the guy is planning on getting a first gen 4 door sedan some where out east and chopping it down to make a roadster
  11. turbosubarubrat
    the the guy who owns it says the off set is custom so he has to use something like plexy glass to make the windows. i thought they where brat doors just with the edges cut off but wasn't sure since i didn't ask. he also told me he has a gen 1 wagon and gen 1 brat so he should know if the windows off them fit. it must have been fun to watch this be in the process of getting put together because it is very well done.
  12. turbosubarubrat
    looks great and i really like what you have done with this one. im definently watching to see how this is going together because i might do this to my brat if its a worth while swap that runs good.

    my dad and i went to the local car show in sandy which is the fly in car show at the air port. after walking around and looking at some of the cars 189?(not sure what the other number was) to cars from now we decided to walked over to where the planes were to talk to some people we know which was on the other side of the run way as the cars. i thought i saw a first gen subaru but thinking it doesn't look right since they didn't make a 2 door hatch back that early so i didn't think nothing of it and kept talking with people. after that we headed back to the cars and much to my suprize i saw this . just to explain why its not at the car show i met him in gresham to sell him a set of tail lights that had no cracks and where perfect. it has a wheel base at 72 inches and custom window arch/offset along with custom doors. under the hood is a stock motor with a weber mounted to stock transmission with a shortened drive line. the owner said he paid a guy $2500 to this chop job and the body work and it looks stock and super cool. the seats are the bottoms of the orignals and the back of the the rear seat
  14. turbosubarubrat
    they dont unless hes going to do some cutting and welding. i have ea71, ea81, and ea82 motors to play around with to see what swaps and the ea71 intake is something like a inch shorter than a ea81/ea82 intake.
  15. turbosubarubrat
    just sold you 2 switches if you need anything else give me a call i keep collecting stuff i really dont need and thats how i get double and triples of stuff
  16. turbosubarubrat
    is anything tapped into the same wires as the head lights are on? a power source for the headlights and some other stuff on my 83 wagon was tapped into by a radio some one installed which was making the headlights really dim to where you couldn't tell they where on then when you turned on the brights the relay went off.
  17. turbosubarubrat
    take 5 pics of the carb and i can identify it with my factory subaru manual. take 1 from the top and 4 from all the sides. or i can scan the carb i dentification pages.

    nice hatch, it says he hasn't been on the forum since march of 2010 under his profile so don't think he is going to reply anytime soon. if you post a thread under old gen (80's) tech. forum a lot of people could help you out. i have seen a few guys who have lowered there rides on here and have even made threads on them so there are definently people out there.
  19. turbosubarubrat
    he hasn't been on the board since january and i remember his hatchback got rear ended to where all the back glass broke and the wheel wells where stuck to the back wheels or close to it. the last time i saw him on here he was fighting the insurence companies to get more than a a couple hundred bucks for his hatch which he gave up and excepted the low offer to just get the hatch and part it out then scrap it.

    older mechanic/auto-body friend of mine told me once if you get the wrong spark plugs or gap the right ones way off it can melt components together or blow a piston or valve out of the block. he got to learn that the hard way on a v-8 he rebuilt/painted/suited up. something about this doesn't sound right with only 84k on it this guy must have really pushed it hard like the previous owner of my 85 brat. these motors should last 300k or high 200k's. the guy who had my brat blew the motor and transmission in under a week then replaced them with low mile imports from japan with have about 40k on them then he was done with it because a branch went through the windshield and the clutch need replaced which a new exedy one was included. i got her for $900 for my first car and the motor cost over $600 and the transmission was close to $500.

    you just use your stock subaru lug nuts on a peugeot steel rim. the reason why you dont use the subaru lug nuts on the peugeot aluminum wheels is because the lug nuts have different seats. the peugeot aluminum wheels have a ball seat lug nut while a subaru has what is revered to as a acorn lug nut. basicly they have different angles so if you use the stock lug nut on the peugeot aluminum rim the lug nuts will start carving the holes out of the rim which can make the wheel fly off while driving.

    found them on this site for $57 for each side http://www.subarupartsamerica.com/parts//?siteid=216122

    depending on if you know what your doing you can take off the door card and take out the lock cylinder in less than 5 minutes with all the proper tools and be on your way to the lock smith or you could get some advice from your lock smith to see whats the best way to get the key out.
  24. turbosubarubrat
    you probably want a set that have been rebuilt and refurfaced because there might not be the parts to fix them over there in oz (if i remember right the valves are bigger for the turbos than the non-turbos). ivan might be able to do that for you, it costed $240 to get mine redone 6 months ago. not to scare you away or anything but the ea81t heads have cracking problems in between the vavles which isn't repairable and once it gets to a surten piont it will run rough and have low compression.
  25. turbosubarubrat
    my dad pressure washed them clean and they cleaned them more at the head shop. im sure there not sand blasted because it would have been very erosive to the aluminum plus there where spots that they missed.
