I Found my Holy Grail Parts car today!!
mcbrat replied to Meeky Moose's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
nice. just like the 85 RX sedan I got my seats out of. I snagged the LSD out of mine, and the rubber intake tube. I went back to get some more stuff and they crushed it with the tranny.... -
If anybody needs a carfax run, let me know.

Midwest Subaru Meet Parts swaps?
mcbrat replied to MorganM's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
I have 4 30x9.50x15 tires, but they don't match. 2 are decent Cooper Discover Radials with 11/32 tread left (new they are 15/32nd I think) the other 2 are nearly bald, and some other brand.... -
just remember to get one with the same ratio

205/70R14's should work fine, but you'll still have to beat down the seam at the back of the front wheel well (after removing the plastic to do it) then put plastic back. and you might have to remove the frotn mudflaps. I did, but mine were aftermarket ones, that may have been made differently that stcok ones.... you'll need to beat the inner strut tower area anyway, so may as well do the seam while you're at it... -

I've got a 3" lift on my 86 Brat, and I've got 25.5" (205/65R15) diameter tires on now. I had to fold over the seam at the rear of the front wheel wels, and remove my front mudflaps. -
195/65R15 is about the biggest you can go on a stock hatch with the suspension raised up......
-
well, a ea82 Y pipe will fit on an EA81, so it should be possible........

Tim, which vehicle? I'm thinking of giving a seminar at the midwest meet on all the things electrical I've learned along the way I'll have a aftermarket pump on, as well as some other goodies

Midwest Subaru Meet, Saturday Lunch
mcbrat replied to ShawnW's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
I think stopping in Onawa is a good idea. there might be other "small town" shoppes that interest people...... -
good idea Adam... never thought about the coil wire. I was at the left front corner, so it was all right there... I did pull the battery cables off (even though I know you're not supposed to... I have quick disconnects on the batt cables) obviously my alt is working well
-
you'll have to splice them together. the shifter in P is what connects the 2 together, i believe it the set of most forward wires. black with yellow strip maybe. larger guage. when I was messing with mine, I forgot I had been messing with the shifter, and I left it in D, and used the starter under the hood. oops... I held the brat back as long as I could, and it just crunched into the stuff ahead of it when I made the dash to get in and stop it

Mountain Grizzly was my old '82 wagon. the decals were actually an aftermarket set made for a Hatchback.... got 'em off eBay for like $15.00

the model: http://usmb.net/gallery/album93/PDC_0331 there's been discussion on snorkels, but not the safari type (hood scoop on the roof I assume)

when it does that, you have to hit refresh on your browser. the photos software does that sometimes.....

horribly wobbly steering wheel
mcbrat replied to archemitis's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I had the same thing happen on 2 different vehicles, and it was the axle each time...... -
