Cool! How's everything else? Been awhile since I saw you lurking around.

Any XT or XT6 wheel with telescope will not fit on a Loyale/GL column. It doesn't matter if the wheel is locked or not to get one off. One screw in the lower leg and the pad pops off to reveal the nut.

Look for an '84 wagon 4WD manual trans. These came with the Hitachi(always). Someone in your area may be able to assist you as well.

Nice job Brad. I think this one is right up there with the works of Zap!!

You have the right adapter. It is the manifold that is wrong. It very well could have come out of the Brat. It is the Carter/Weber 1bbl manifold. You need a Hitachi 2bbl manifold.

Yep, I think Brian works at Red Robin p/t. And yes, You do know who made that decal Mick. Brian is a member of the Rally Brat Racing team.

Please read the FAQ that is stickied at the top of the page. A lot of hours went into it to answer most of the questions that come up for off road Subaru's.

The dif lock is for the center diff not the front. Will, try contacting Randy's Ring and Pinion. They are on line. They are in Washington state. They do alot of custom stuff but I don't know if they build custom one off's though.

search better, http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=32987 j/k

I have run welded and so have a number of our members from the Hatch Patrol. There have been no ill effects so far. As long as you make sure not to take very tight turns(read; steering wheel lock to lock) and do not get on the throttle while turning all should be fine. Granted it usually only takes 10-15 minutes to install one axle. Some just don't want to wait that long to play.

OK, lets start with the passenger front. Open the door and look in the lower rear corner of the body. There should be a plunger style switch that activates the interior lights and the door ajar sensor. It should have a rubber cover over it. These covers break and come off over time. Check for the presence of the switch and whether or not the cover is there as well. The switch pops into place but has keepers that have to be accessed from the interior side. You have to remove the B-pillar interior trim to get to it. Let us know what you find.

Not bad from that side. Decal is pretty nice as well. Keep finding them Mick!!

Sorry, didn't see the year, only that the door ajar title.. Which door is showing to be open?

Very nice meet Gal. Looks great!

Which car?

Your tires look like this? \ / or like this? / \ If it is the first one then I would guess that you have your suspension cranked up. If it is the second then you have a weak or bent strut. A camber plate will help but is an expensive alternative.

Yes, it has been done. I know a guy up here that did it. It looked OK but not what I would expect from a Brat. Sorry but I don't have any pics of it though.

Yep!

If you install a turbo trans in place of a non-turbo you will be deeply dissappointed. Do the diff swap as stated in the USRM. I have done it a dozen times and it pays off.

Stay away from AM/PM. The water content is higher and your gas mileage will be lower. I run Chevron or 76 EXCLUSIVELY! Try them and see if that helps but... Brian(Subaru Guru) is usually right so it pays to listen to him.

Jason, Geo-crap sucks. Just post your pics to the gallery. It works easy and then you don't run out of bandwidth when everyone is trying to look at them.

The grill is '86. The painted bumpers say it should be an '87 or newer though.

Thanks Eric, the car handled just as you said it would. Tires worked great. I think the school helped me a bit. We'll see what we can do about the power. But, we may not need it if all goes well with the new one. 41 people took the rally/driver school. I think there were 2 or 3 in the top 5 of every class if not more. Proud Daddy moment! My daugther took third in light truck. Less than a second behind Ed and a couple of seconds behind Brian. I time only drove in the afternoon. After the first run she was a second behind me on the first run. Scary thing is she is only going to get faster!

Adam, check the logo's from last years show. Oregon show had Oregon logo. Kind of makes sense that a Washington show would have a Washington logo doesn't it? Enough about the Washington Subaru Show. This is a West Coast deal. And until someone else steps forward and takes some leadership to start, run and completely set up a show we shouldn't be expected to drive all over the west coast setting these up. We didn't get any kind of reembursement for any of our mileage and gas expenses. We set this up because we thought it would be nice for some of the southern people who have travelled many times to northern Washington. And...let's not even start talking about long distance phone bills. We want everyone to come and have fun. This should be the best yet.

Wow, that's about 2/3 of the miles we logged setting up the Oregon show. Glad that a some of you are willing to drive a bit to hang out at our little shinding.
