The Brat runs again. thanks to northguy
northguy replied to torxxx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Glad I could help out. Just let me know if you encounter further "adventures." -
Moosey is a moderator? Too fantastic.

Believe it or not, that thing will still go for higher than the opening price.

Hi I'm new---'84 Brat and '01 Outback
northguy replied to wendybradley's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Welcome to the board. Sounds like a good score on the Brat. Check your Y pipe. -
It allows you to keep the stock 4 speed set up in your car and lets you just cleanly bolt up the 5spd without any fabrication. It makes the interior look clean, and it makes the swap very easy.

Get the 1 piece driveline made and balanced (51") Buy Jerry's conversion kit for the shifter - it is sweet. You'll need a different clutch set up for it also. But mostly. make sure the tranny you're putting in is in good shape.

Welcome. You might want to be a bit more specific on your location. Might be another member nearby. -
New Old Brat on a long trip
northguy replied to cardineau's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Get a full sized spare, an extra fan belt, a tool kit, some premixed antifreeze, an extra gas can, a couple of quarts of oil, and plan your trip so that you can make contact with other board members along the way. Sounds like a good score. -
Welcome to the board. Almost all subbies tap a bit. You might try sea foam or MMO in the oil for a couple hundred miles then change the oil. Mouse nest: yes, it will require a bit of disassembly to get to it. Best to get a repair manual before digging into it to assist you. Sounds like a good buy. You might check the condition of the ATF for the tranny.

Check the tightness of all nuts and bolts around the torsion bar.

Ed, congrats on the new mod. Looks good, as I'd expect from you and Qman. I'm wondering though, why this is posted in the marketplace? Are you now selling them? -
thinking of moving to MSP area.. ideas?
northguy replied to Ratty2Austin's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Buy some long underwear, and pick up a copy of "How to Speak Minesotan". It has lots of tips like "learn to say 'Ya, sure. You betcha'. And the ever popular "Heckuva deal." Or "How about a little lunch?" Bone up on casserole recipes before you go. -
holy crap check out ebay.

That's pretty damn clean. -
excessive vibration after tranny swap
northguy replied to northguy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Kelly, if you got some time before you take off next week, I'll meet you some place and let you take it for a drive (maybe rally it a bit). I'd value your assessment. -
I may just take up drinking again to justify buying a set.

excessive vibration after tranny swap
northguy replied to northguy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Thanks Tim. When I swap the tranny out in May (with Torxxx's replacement) I'll make sure that they are so. -
Too nice. Good find.

This cant be True, Please it just can't

May a curse be on them. May no one in Homer catch even one Halibut the entire season. (As if that'll happen!) -
NGK or Accell fit fine. I got a set of Accell wires from e-bay for 15 bucks.
