as you modify something beyond what it was intended to do, there is always increased risk of failure... I just busted the rear suspension in my '82 Brat, and it's only got 99k on it, but it's been beat hard with lift, tires, clocking, and extra weight.... Like Bucky92 said, an unmodified soob with proper maintenance will last and last....

it's been asked, AND answered, but I CAN'T FIND IT!
mcbrat replied to RdNkBrt's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
it depends on the type of Gen1 bar, but the last one I did it to, I had to make the back legs 2" shorter.... -
well 4 years of offroading 3" lift blocks and torsion bar clocked 1 notch and with the weight of the roll bar, rescue equipment, steel bumper, and rear tire carrier with a SSR on it. Rancho Shocks I went outside the other night, and the left side torsion bar had let go. sitting flat on that side.... should I replace torsion bars, or put in ea82 waggy rear coilovers?

my 75 doller diamond in the ruff
mcbrat replied to subaruguru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
2WD GL '82s had the quad headlights. all others had the large rectangular or large single rounds on either side. 82 was last year for red guage markers. -
fitting webber carb to ea71 motor question?
mcbrat replied to kiwi subbie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
if it's still in decent shape, I'd try it with the jets already in it. I have a weber that came off a 1.9L Opel, and it ran awesome... I've even upped the jets on it since then... -

This is sort of cheating This is user count by age (if an age was entered, and they have more than 10 posts) some of the dates were wrong though, as I don't think NVZeno turned 100 this year....

Power Steering swap parts list- ea81?
mcbrat replied to cyberbackpacker's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

you will also need the t-stat cover from a PS car, and potentially the engine crossmember... 82 power steering rack/crossmember/lines are different than 83-84 rack/... -
