that one kid

I'd never heard of heated LEDs before and that was my issue with them because I live in a very snowy icy place. Budget doesn't really matter, i'm okay paying premium for something that'll keep me safe. 1986 second gen. lovely brumby Bennie and thanks for the tip. I do like the idea of semi sealed but those JW Speakers look wicked

hello all, I want to do something about my headlights. they have all the luminosity of a dying camping flashlight. night driving is a joke. I'd like to get something substantially brighter than the stock lights preferably not LED's. parts numbers and links welcome. thanks

yeah the car originally had a 3.7lsd diff that was sold to a different person. The tranny to my knowledge is an ea82t 5 speed dr with a center locking diff. Im not exactly planning on having a turbo with this brat so is there any use swapping in this tranny? given that its almost 40,000 miles more than my current 4 speed would it just be better to keep looking for a non turbo 5 speed with lower miles?

also got a set of really sweet mag wheels and have started the search for 205/60/13s.the parts came with a single avante optitour that looks super solid.

hey guys just an update. I got to go down to vancouver a couple days ago and grab some rear disks.....and ended up with a 1988 turbo harness, turbo tranny, front crossmember with power steering rack, rear subframe with control arms and such. So I'm Planning on swapping on the brakes pretty soon and was wondering if i would be able to use the rear wheel bearings from the rx in the brat. Im also curious if i can use any other parts from the rx driveline. the shocks are pretty beat to hell but would it be beneficial to use the turbo crossmember? any chance of getting the power steering to work?

managed to find a decent pair at a tire rack not far from here that'll tie me off for the winter. yeah i've been giving a lot of thought to redrilling the hubs for different wheel set ups down the road but i think i'll wait until i can source a rear disk brake set before i start drilling and welding things. that row52 site is awesome I'm probably going to end up spending way to much time on there now though... wheel bearings and pads, a bed liner and general winter readiness is next down the line. thanks for all the help

Hi, been using my brat as a daily driver for a little over a year now and need to get a couple things done to keep it on the road. my main problem at this point is tires, none of the tire shops around the area sell what i need and i was very curious if theres a better way than just combing through craigslist adds for old loyal wheels. The next problem i have is that the rear wheel bearings have a lot of play I've been trying to put it off until i can find parts for a 5 speed and/or disc brake conversion but I dont think thats likely to happen any time soon. brakes pads are also getting pretty worn but i dont think those should be to hard to come by. Any help locating tires and maybe wheels would be very helpful. Any advice on brake pads, wheel bearings, junkyards where i might find any 5 speed, or rear disc brake parts would also be much appreciated

"bucking bronco" exact term I would have used to describe my brat before the weber swap

have the jumpseats installed, and have a new cv ready to take over for the current one. Anybody know a good place to grab a dr 5 speed? haha

my Apologies for the long drawn out wait For sticking it out here are some pics of the brat... more to come when i figure out how to work this mac

Never seen a light up AC switch in my life but it works... and even more surprisingly the air conditioning isn't bad, can't really bring the car to frigid temperatures but its nice for cruising around the gorge.

Oh right hahah sorry the green switch turned out to be for the AC I forgot to mention that on my last post

Updates on the brat. haven't been on usmb in a while been working a lot recently. I currently have the brat running a "new" weber carb and ended up getting a catalytic. I also picked up a set of jump seats that I'll be installed shortly. I've been giving a lot of consideration to doing a rear wheel disk brake conversion if I can find the parts.

I think the main problem I see is that the technology just hasn't developed past a basic level yet. On a chemical level its entirely possible hydrogen has a lot more explosive power than gasoline and requires a lot less to run in a combustion cycle, i actually saw this guy down in California that was running (i think it was an old corolla) on a HHO system but it really didn't seem practical because of how big of an electrolysis chamber was being used and that it took more energy to make the hho fuel than the energy the fuel gave the car. I have seen methods of people trying to solve this problem but dont know enough about the processes to give a suggestion or details..... the links below were at the very least thought provoking i dont know might help you figure somethings out
