Keep EA71 or switch to EA81
RustyBrat replied to sjschlag's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
i say keep thea ea71, but thats just me. if at all possible its best to keep these things original -

Got the rear of the brat up on jackstands its all ready to go, got everything soaking in pb blaster. Got one bolt out, then broke my ratchet! So that put a stop to my work for now.

i dont think there are really exhaust kits for these, but if you have a basic knowledge of welding its easy to make your own

are both sides like that?

2 Brat's, sitting, possible parts cars
RustyBrat replied to spicypeanut's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
i could use fenders -
Yeah i realized that before i put the struts back in, luckily the tops just spin around so i didnt have to switch them. That picture actually makes the camber look worse than it really is, its like 4 degrees off, no big deal. Thank you! It sits a lot higher than i imagined!

not if you wheel hard enough -
gonna get the rear lift done by the 20th i hope, along with the steering extension and the shifters, that way i can take my grandpa out for a ride when he comes up for christmas and show him how far its come! (this was his brat that he gave to me) cant really figure out how to make these shifters work, i want to cut and weld so they fit through the holes in the trans tunnel, but they are stinkin aluminum! so i think im just going to build new ones.

i want to turbo mine just for kicks and giggles, but money prevents that well, rather a lack of money
-
sweet! are you just going to continue running bumperless then?

The front is lifted! Man that was difficult haha! The front crossmember blocks were easy, bolted right up, the rear crossmember blocks were different though, i had to drill them out bigger to accomodate the bolts. No big deal, until i got to the strut hats. First, i had to cut and grind them down to fit. Then i had to widen the holes with the milling machine. I ended up taking both the struts completely out and forcing the hats on, then putting the struts back in. Had to beat the struts out with a hammer! Camber is off, but im not worried about that right now, i'll fix it later.
