Subasaurus

there was a set on ebay of 4 by octolighting about a year ago that i got for my brat with quad's, i seem to not be able to find the exact ones, and they were $100 for the set of 4 when i purchased them, they seem to not be there anymore but here's a similar one, i still remember the ones i purchased said nowhere about octolighting, but when they arrived, it says on the front of the headlights octolighting so i was happy :, but now it's alittle more... but you gotta modify one of the tabs on the highbeam buckets since all 4 are technically low beam inserts, really easy to modify with just a pair of pliers. then i also got 2 sets of 2 LED headlamp inserts, i think H4's, i junked the halogen one's that it comes with, super low quality bulbs, one broke on me just trying to remove it when they arrived, but the headlamps are of really highquality materials, glass front and metal backing, led's are still glowing bright and good, no dead LED's after a year of using it, no leaks either after many downpours from storms. i love glowing in the morning and late afternoon with the orange halos, looks really different, you can hide the LED drivers on the passenger side inside and underneath the turn signal and parking lamp, and then i just wired them in to the parking lights, you can also use them as blinkers if you so desire, i'll post a picture this afternoon of how it looks when it's getting dark outside. https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-3-4-Amber-LED-COB-SMD-Halo-Angel-Eye-Halogen-Light-Bulbs-Metal-Headlights-Set/232567175739?hash=item3626157a3b:g:vxcAAOSwO9RbCOIL:sc:FedExHomeDelivery!78245!US!-1

if you're interested in selling them i'll buy them from you.

yup yup, when ordering parts for my EA-71 1980 brat, i tell them it's a 78 or 79 brat just to avoid all the bs at the auto parts stores, im sure it's hell for 1984 and 1985 model years too, and 1989-1991.

give me those mudflaps! also you have the same strange rear slide windows like i do, im still trying to decide if i like the center regular one or these double side slide ones, i think it moves more air having them in the corners but it's harder to talk to my friends when they sit in the back while im driving.

im still getting used to it, and it's been a few months...

Things i decided to post up, seems that some of the items are deteriorating and just wanted to post it up to show that it did once exist...

yes i did miss you! lol, i think the last time i saw one of your posts was in 2015, but i was gone for all of 2016 and some of 2017, so that probably explains that gap as well...

A. not sure but it was probably something emission related which i removed on mine, B. looks like the vacuum hose that controls some of your HVAC stuff, C. on mine it went to the vacuum reservoir since mine was equipped with Cruise Control and the reservoir was located on the passenger side. D. looks like its just the Vacuum Reservoir your vehicle is equipped with, i wouldn't stress out about it and just plug up both, and see what doesn't function fully. E. that looks like a ground for a manifold bolt. F. that looks like the Vacuum Port for the Brake Booster.

thought so! lol, thanks Skishop69!

should be the Yellow that connects to the giant oil pressure sending unit on the oil pump, wrap it around the oil dipstick so that the crank doesn't snatch it or rub the wire. just be aware that most of those have all broken by now, a replacement of one is a hefty $50, not sure why. but if yours still works, great!

something people tell me but i've never had it happen to me before, they say R134a is a smaller molecule than R12, therefore when slapping a different refrigerant through the same hoses, it'll leak out very slowly, like a whole year before it needs a refill, im at 5 years on a 93 impreza, 3 years on a 89GL, and a year and a half on a 79GL, i haven't had leaks, maybe the hoses are of better quality on a Subaru, don't know...

love the 2000 impreza! very cool!

the law says that 1994 Vehicles and up began using R134a, but i've only seen it on 1995 and up Subaru's. but i don't understand what the big scare is, go to batozone, get yourself the 2 fitting adaptors that go over the R12 Fittings, wala! but i know you gotta get rid of the remaining R12 in there, "gotta recover it somehow since you're in California or they'll burn you at the stake". then try to calculate how much oil you just drained from the compressor, i think it's somewhere between 2-4 ounces of compressor oil, seal it up, vacuum it out, and add R134a Refrigerant. or just go to Mexico and get R12 like i do, although didn't know they sold it on ebay though like Dave T said, after looking at it myself, it's about double to triple the price of what R134a costs... Much cheaper in Mexico but considering you're in the middle of California, it may not be worth it for you.

ahahaha! good eye! missed it earlier.

first stage Subaru's are pretty rare now a days, i definetly don't mind, love the grille, and i'd much better see 100 pictures of an early Subie than another common picture of some BRZ, or WRX. also did you paint it yourself?

i think Stanley made the headlights on the third gen GL/Loyales in the late 80's and early 90's, perhaps the same in the mid 90's? although they say Subaru across the front, it's alittle harder to find the actual maker of the headlights on the OEM headlights, if you find an example of them at a junkyard.

that i couldn't agree more with, i've thought about it, but being 23, im early to the party regardless, perhaps when im done paying for the house when im around 35 i'll move to another state like montana, or oregon, who knows. thanks for the advice though!

well... since you know San Antonio some, im not on the bad part of town, im in Alamo Ranch (houses of 250K and up) seems that crime is higher in this city in nicer neighborhoods than ghetto neighborhoods. (and i just bought this house 13 months ago! lol, moved away from my dads place in medical center, which is pretty ghetto, every week or so another vehicle would be with no wheels)

Problem with that is i have 15 cameras all around my house on the outside, (i live next to a creek so no backyard neighbors, yay), someone broke into my gf's 2015 civic with somekind of universal keyfob identifier, they didn't even touch the car and it unlocked for them, i did some research and apparently there has to be 2 people, which there were, one searches for the key sending out a faint wireless signals hanging on the wall on the inside the house, and amplifies it for the other person standing next to the car to communicate with the vehicle. San Antonio Cops could have cared less, i told them i had video evidence of two guys, which i wount disclose their ethnicity but you guys can guess that one im sure, and they just transfer me to a cop on the phone to complete the report not wanting evidence or wanting to come out and take a look. long story short, keys are now hanging in the kitchen away from the front door so that they can't find the faint signal from the key fobs, they didn't steal much, an ipod touch 1st gen which is pretty much worthless today and an ipad 2 8GB, which is also pretty worthless. cameras wount help in my city apparently.

a week ago a guy knocked on my door and asked me how much for my brat, kept insisting and didn't want to leave my property, after a while eventually left, but these last 6 days i've been having to park the brat in the backyard in fear of it dissapearing the next morning out of my driveway.

that is extremely useful info, thanks for sharing that one!

15561B and it's by Walker. it came with a needle but no float, so you might want that when rebuilding the carb.

there is a specifit kit at Oreilly's for a Hitachi 2Barrel that includes all these parts, it was around $35 or so, includes all the gaskets, pump, needle, i think the float was separate but was like $6, i have the old box, which is in the attic which i actually need to go for this afternoon for a wire brake safety low switch on the brat, so if you need an exact part number for the kit, im pretty sure i can get that for you. but let's rewind alittle, when i removed my old needle, there was a bunch of like "carbon" build up inside of it, and that might be preventing it from closing completely and start leaking out, clean it the same way one does with the windshield wiper sprayers, i think toilet bowl cleaner right? in a zipploc bag.

you need a new needle, it's located upside down on the top of the carb, but inside of it on the driver's side... and might as well get a new float too, and a gasket if possible, it's going to keep getting stuck everytime the weather changes, happened to me everytime it would cool down outside last year.

you're right, splitting the case would relieve the pressure, but that's ridiculous that it has to be that way.
