welcome back. looks like "eyesore's" old hatch has resurfaced... that have the LED tail lights in the rear?

I know there's been a few people do it... I've got all the parts from a coupe to do it to my blue brat, just never had the time yet... I'm sure you could use part of the wiring from a wagon. just need to have the regulator from a coupe w/PW.

weber 32/36

exactly what happened with mine... but it was easy enough to drive around it... it will work, but drivability i decreased.... why I went back to weber.... I eventually got to the pont, where because of all the mods I had done to make it a bette offroader (whichit was), it was not as much fun to daily drive it in town traffic....

it depends on how you plan on driving it... at WCSS7, I had my Brat there with a built EA81. I used a weber adapter plate with 2 half inch spacers, then a slightly modified 2->4 bbl adapter plate. I was running a vac secondary Holley 600 CFM carb. (don't recall the exact model). I had to adjsut the idle circuit down, and learn to drive a bit differently off idle, but it was a freaking blast in the gravel/water pit. 2nd gear, low range. it was happiest above 2000 rpms... I eventually went back to the weber because for slow trail running, it was less than ideal, but did work....

in the UK, the "Shifter" was available, and it was strictly front wheel drive... for all your BRAT reading pleasure, click the "Subaru's of the 80's" link up above,..

anyone have a cargo cover from any pre-2002 Forester or OBS ? I'm trying to find out the width of them? thanks, Mick

well, now you can better detect what else it needs

Emptied a full 5 gallon bucket yesterday, but it ooks like the ice/snow melted enough now that it's not backing up under the shingles now... the wall has dried up... hoping to get some work done soon on the wagon...

Welcome Ken... I think you sent me this photo back in 2003.... entitled siouxbaroo-gone

yeah, I've captured about 3 gallons of water so far....

the one that's in there now is well worn I've already got an aftermarket one for the dash... I also got my loaded calipers delivered yesterday, so as soon as I get some time I'll start on it... unfortunately I've got a roof leak in my garage that I'll need to attend to first..... hopefully the rotors are okay...

got the SSRs mounted onto the pugs....

glad to see someone wanting to do the steering... I think the vendors that don't include the steering linkage are missing out on some sales because of it.... when I first put my lift on my Blue brat, I didn't weld at all, and didn't know anyone who did, but the Kit came with one... If It wouldn't have come with one, the past 11 years may have been entirely different!

thanks, but it's the keyed portion that's bad... I have a good spare set IGN/doors from a Brat, but I just want to use a new keyed section for IGN and leave doors/hatch as is...

you're just a n00b with 2 posts

it appears to have recent struts and shocks, but since teh brakes are hosed, I can't drive it to see how thw ride is... I could barely get it off the trailer.... plus it will be running swampers, so that will take away a little bit on the smoothness

found my pic....

see my daily driver thread in this forum

well, I know the person (girl) ran over a median, and crushed the exhaust, and may have damaged the pan... I don't think I ever looked at the bottom... I saved the intake and above, the 4 doors, rear hatch, denders, and interior from it, and sent it to the crusher...

This is how the engine in my very first soob wagon died... (this was a couple years after I sold it... I got it back as a parts vehicle....)

with capacity for some fun too so after moving out to a smaller town, I have a one way 30-35 minute commute now(25-35 miles depending on if I have to drop my son off....). love it. The drive is great. I'm much more relaxed now. love the town I'm in... as soon as the snow started to fly, though, my '86 Brat went into storage to keep the rust monster away, leaving me with a '96 Yukon as a daily driver when I wasn't carpooling with my wife in her Forester... has been a good driver for the winter though, but last week, I needed to drive something else, so I drove my '72 Chevy K20 with 33's... new 350 crate engine, and Holley 600 cfm carb... so, 7.2 Gallons per day was the fuel usage on the beast! decided I needed an all-season soob daily driver... the Red Brat would work, but I't a bit rougher ride than I'd like so I can relax so time to simplify. I'm gonna sell my '72 K20, and my Yukon... will pick up a different tow vehicle later, and am going back to an ea81 wagon for a daily... engine smokes, windshield cracked, front calipers bad, shifter linkage is bad sloppy, rusty rockers, torsion bar broken. Ignition switch is finicky, and it looks like hood and hinges were damaged, and the core support latch was removed. nothing holding it down at the moment other than gravity. Rear bumper has the end caps off it... sounds perfect! Parts I'm gathering.... loaded calipers for vented rotors hood pins ignition switch (aftermarket) Stuff left over from my Red Brat build, or other stuff I had laying around: ea82 rear coil overs 4"/3" Ozified lift kit Yakima Cargo basket lights up top of course and some fog lights 15" pug flat spoke alloys 27x9.50x15 Swamper SSRs brush guard I definitely need to get an aftermarket stereo as it still has a stock one it it.... hope to start working on it with pics as soon as my other "required list" is done

possibly... trouble with a floating date, is that 2 weekends a month I'm busy taking Indy to see his Mom... so the other weekends are dedicated to other house related priorities But thinkin about it....

grinder

anybody have a pic of the shift linkage for a 5 speed 2wd?
