bowtiewins Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thought you fellas might like to see what a V8 does for a first gen brat. This is a street legal Brat fully DOT less the slicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtiewins Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Here are a couple more videos. This is the first trip to the track to make suspension adjustments while running a very detuned 500hp. It generated a lot of interest seeing a licensed street legal truck with mufflers beating up on the big dogs with big slicks and open headers FYI: the engine noise you hear in the vid's is coming from the other cars. The Brat is very quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I think he's got a set of B&R reproduction brat stripes on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatswhatshesaid Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 ...and we think a 140 chp EJ22 makes these cars hot rods... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatswhatshesaid Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 That's a pretty cool rig. Some people will chastise such behavior, calling it disrespectful to the Subaru name or some babble like that, but...I think it's pretty cool - mostly because it's a pretty unique idea for a drag car. Party on, dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtiewins Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Hey, anyone know where I can find a clean rust free and straight rear bumber and the plastic inner door handle bucket for the door panels? Heading back out to the track this weekend to add a little power now that the suspension is set up. Looking for mid 8 sec timeslips Here's another video you fells might like.
