  1. 1985 Brat GL in Minnesota, sadly I can't use it during the winter.
  2. Got any pictures of a topless Brat?
  3. How many miles on it?
  4. I want to get the drivers seat recovered over the winter and plan on switching it out for the passengers seat while that's being done. I measured the seat rails and they appear to be the same so I could just unbolt both of them. Any chance the seats just slide out from the rails like in an air cooled VW? It would be easier that way.
  5. Thanks Subaru fans, our BRAT runs fine now but looking ahead to when my daughter gets it I'd like to be prepared.
  6. If any of those need replacement are they available? Can a 49 state part be interchanged?
  7. My '85 BRAT was sold new in California. Is it the same as those sold new elsewhere? I recall that many cars in the 80's had California versions and 49 state versions to meet California's stricter emission standards. Stuff like different carburetors and such. Did Subaru do such a thing?
  8. Does that mean switching the entire seat frame and all or just the cushions so the seat adjusters are still on the outside? Thanks
  9. I'd like to get the drivers seat renewed on my '85 BRAT GL. Can I replace it with the passengers seat while that's being done?
  10. Found a spare Subaru ECM, the numbers on the box are: 42089 7210, A11-000 976. Will this work on my '85 BRAT?
  11. What kind of wheels do you have on the BRAT?
  12. That clears it up! Thanks for the clarification...nice job on the logo merging.
  13. Look at the header to this website, there are 7 stars in the logo.
  14. Why do the earlier logos have 6 stars and later ones 7? When did it change and why? Did the Pleiades cluster expand at some point?
  15. Thanks. Is there a tutorial?
  16. Can a 3rd eye unit from a series 1 BRAT be fitted to a 1985 BRAT? Found a cheap one and would like to use it.
  17. Thanks guys, maybe I'll just use the spare but getting it out of the engine compartment looks like a pain.
  18. I have a 1985 BRAT with the stock wagon wheels. The bolt pattern looks like 4 x 100 with a FWD offset. Is that right? I want to get some wheels to replace mine while I mount new tires. It's winter here now (Minnesota)and this car has never seen snow so just driving it in isn't an option.
