if anybody wants a set, I have 3 sets, including the ones from mtn grizz. best way to mount them, it to cut out a pattern in cardboard first showing the outline of them, and the holes you will need to cut. the air openings are different on each side. I used a sawzall and dremel to cut the holes. they come with mounting bolts, but they are just held into the plastic, and tend to come out, so the ones that came out on mine, I just drilled the hole all the way through the mount point, and used a stove bolt to attach it. in stock form they sit down in the datsun hood, so I bought some universal weather strip from jcwhitney that looked like a circle set on top of a flat section. the flat section had tape on it, and after cleaning the vents, attached nicely to the outer lip of the vent. so when you tighten it down, it compresses the circle, and fills the gap between the hood and the vent, and makes it look pretty nice. I placed the seam on the center of the winshield side of the vent. I haven't decided yet what to do with my 82 Brat. either put in the vents from mtngrizz, or put on a scoop I have...

yeah it's Ed's old Brat... Mary was describing it on the Yahoo board, and I pegged it as Ed's old brat before she got pics up

I've gotten a used weber 32/36 off eBay for $70. plus $20 for a rebuild kit, nad $25-$50 for the adapter. http://www.jameng.com has a lot of good stuff as well....

they do absolutely zero with the cars in the yard here, until they crush them, then they drain 'em.

and your model would have had 2 fuel filters. the one under the hood, which is actually known as the vapor separator, and the primary filter which is in front of the passenger side rear wheel, unedrneath the wagon. this one is often neglected, or unknown. I would change out both filters first off...

sure, but if both fans are going, you will feel it and hear it as a reminder to shut it off. I rarely even turn mine on, unless I end up sitting in traffic for a bit, or I'm off-road and moving slow.

for me whenever the DOJ has gone bad, it was quiet under acceleration, but jerked/made noise when coasting. (until it got real bad, then it jerked the whole car until the joint let loose totally) if the hub was stripped to the point where it was clicking, you could put your parking brake on, and put it in gear and try to drive. if it breaks free, then that's what it is. I thought Ed put new hubs on it as well.... I'd say outer CV is my first choice. (and welcome to the USMB!)

I used 12 guage for my fans.

Here is the list of pending orders... Let me know if you still want them or not..... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/mick/decals/pending-orders.htm have had 82 decals requested so far.... so not too bad of a run... and remember, you can always order more at any time

that's a photochopper aackkkk! with 2 doors and extended, it looks eerily like my old 86 Chevy 2 door EuroSport Celebrity!!!!!!!

lot's of fun last year. over 60 miles of trails. This is about 20 miles north of where the Midwest 2 meet was in April. Event Page with registration form and rules (looks like bolted towpoints for us as well...) http://www.ci4wi.org/Castana2004.htm Timber Ridge Resort - Where the Event is held http://www.peelout.net/ Iowa 4WD Association Site http://www.iowa4x4.org/ I was the only Subaru last year.... lots of different types of vehicles last year. There are a lot of "members" of the resort that run VW rail/buggies out there for the hill climbs and trials. How about Tim and Vicky??????

the blue one in my above pic (first post) was on a 86 3 door, but it had a slot cut out of it on the drivers side to clear the headlight bucket assembly... if you view the large version of the pic,you can see the little piece sticking through the slot... so the "RX grill" isn't as rare as a RX, but as Rare as a 3 door? I saw another 3 door out there, but spaced off looking at the grill

Okay, there was a question on the grill before, as some people are looking for the RX grilles.... this is a pic of the "RX Fake" I found... http://usmb.net/gallery/album191/pic10 however, the next row over from this one, was another 3 door that had the exact same grill (but it was smashed)... so, is it actually an RX grill, or did the 3 doors all have that grill?

Ah... a '82 GL Wagon. I had one that had it's share of electrical problems. The horn and cruise did not work, along with losing the AC power, and power window circuit. the wiring seems to get fairly brittle with age, and the little issues will keep popping up. get a good digital volt/ohm meter. The FSM wiring diagram is a necessary piece at this point too. the ACC circuit which feeds the power windows, and stock volt meter, and turn signals, etc... is usually a problem point. you'll want to run a new power line from the battery, and use the original feed to the fuse box for the ACC section to flip the relay, and have the new wire feed the panel. (if when your turn signals light, your volt meter goes up/down,you will definitely want to do this.) For your current issue, by fuses under the hood, I'm assuming you mean the fusible links... even though they look okay, try replacing them.

and the little pad holder clips can be had aftermarket. tough to find, but my import partsplace was able to find them.

I have both of my fans on my brat running off a 30A standard relay,with all new wiring, but I needed a 15A or 20A fuse for the circuit since I have 2 fans hooked to it. the 10 would last a while, then melt the fuse slowly....

Hey guys and gals! still plenty of time to get your USMB decals plus lots of other decals... in fact, I can do just about any single color decal listed on this page, if it has a downloadable image with it... (the sti ones aren't available...) http://logos.subaru.com/ and check out the decals page in the link below for current color options... let me know if you see something you want to have done, or even if you need a custom decal or 2 later, Mick

# on bumper? assuming you mean on my Brat bumper. Midwest Customs is the place that did my bumpers/winch mount.... the trailer is a 16' flatbed, frame standard from http://www.mac-lander.com pressure treated lumber. stake pockets are open on bottom. adjustable 7000 lb jack, etc..... The distributor I got it from had lots of different brands to choose from. the Aluma-light ones were really cool looking, but were well over $4k!!!! there were some locally made ones there too, but the $300 upgrade to the mac-lander was a no brainer after seeing the quality differences.... I've towed several different trailer before, but none this long. It was fun backing it into my driveway for the first time....

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=539 I lined the top of the "B" up with the chrome trim, because there'll be something else going in below and a shot of my new soobie hauler.... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=1214&sort=1&cat=530&page=1

you can order more at any time.....

I'll be needing to rebuild a weber here shortly, so I figured since It'd be my first one, I'd gather up the tips/info here... what do you do? What cleaner to soak it in. (mine needs a soaking really bad ) and how long? etc.... pile on the info folks

I have a more complete list at home. this is what I found with some searching..... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/mick/gears.htm
