'85 Hatch with changed engine
mcbrat replied to IdahoJak's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
that's because most chain parts stores only have EA82 info for 85+ so any time I'm getting parts for a 85+ hatch or Brat, I use 82-84 for the year... depending on my mood -

I have a PM in to PK asking about it. the logo on the website will b really easy to do if PK and I come to an agreement on them. since it's roughly a square logo, the biggest it could be is 6.2" x 6.2" unless I split it into 3 sections..... tire wear on the outside can be remedied... -
rear coilover issue - 84 gl
mcbrat replied to DualCarb'84's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
where all do you have lift blocks in the rear then? what kind of mounting bracket do you have for the coil-overs? I did it like this on a stock brat, and didn't have any rubbing issues.... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/USRM2/mick-usrm/Strutsinrear/strut.html you may just need to get wheel with less backspacing... -

the size of that is probably closer to 16x3 I think to keep in the right proportions. where's it gonna go? and I always prefer lifted rigs -

I'll be cruising in comfort in my Yukon -
the coupe is the same wheel base as the Brats and wagons, so any one of theire shafts will work if you stick with a 4 speed. I don't think there is a difference by tranny in the "ea81" years.... (just by wheelbase.) if you go with the 5 speed, you'll either need the 2 piece driveline from the ea82 donor, or measure to get a custom one made....

trouble with EJ rear diffs on lifted rigs
mcbrat replied to torxxx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the VLSD guts are what use the c-clips to hold the stubs in, so the problem stays with the guts. my buddy loves his VLSD for the mud running he does, but he's got a full 3" lift everywhere, so nothing more that stock axle extension... -
ball seat adapters are available.... (scroll down) $1.00 each. lets you use acorn nuts with them.... https://www.hi-jumper.com/SubCategories.aspx?subCatID=37&catID=11 I called them, and they had 'em in stock. got 'em today. they look good.

Silly Question about Brat Fenders
mcbrat replied to bratgrl's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
They are for the "EA81" body style soobs: 82-87 Brat 80-89 Hatchback 80-84 Wagon, sedan, coupe they are listed 80-82 because of the antenna. 80-82 has antenna on the drivers side 83+ has antenna on passenger side Mike got it right on for what you need.... -
Looking for this font...
mcbrat replied to LiftedHatchSubie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
this is the closest I have.... http://eknp.com/php/fd.php?f=calligrapher this one's even more of a stretch.... http://www.itcfonts.com/Fonts/Detail.htm?pid=204011 you definitely need a "script" type font.... -
the're still gonna be bigger than 27's so I'd still go with the wagon tranny... how big a lift? I probably have the same street/offroad ratio, but it's still my offroader, and I would definitley take the better low range for off-roading.

with that big of a tire, I'd definitely go with the wagon 5 speed D/R I spoke of earlier with the better low range.....
