skinny664521903 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 hopefully yall will be a lot of help for me. this is my first car i dont know how to work on cars but i would like to learn thank god i have my brother. My brother tells me the whole car needs to be rewired and then well go from there. I will eventually get it lifted and do an ej swap paid $800 more than i should have but hopefully it will be worth it. oh and i got the guy to throw in some chrome rims dont even know why anyone would get them but hopefully theyll look cool.

6 Star Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Looks like a nice straight body! You found a good one, what is wrong with the wiring? Maybe it is something simple. Also, a belated welcome to the board. Lots of good info on here, make use of the search button. Do those chrome wheels have a little "J" emblem on one of the spokes? If they do they are Jackmans and are a desireable wheel by the oldschool subaru crowd. Edited January 27, 2013 by 6 Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinny664521903 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 yeah theres definitely not a j what would regular chrome rims like this be worth anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Star Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Depends on who is buying and how much they want to spend. I would say swap them onto your Brat, they would look good on there imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratRod Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I talked to the guy who owned these brats, you definitely bought the better one. I cant imagine the whole car would have to be rewired either Edited January 28, 2013 by BratRod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffanyus Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Very nice looking brat. I would keep it all original but thats just me!!! I think in the long run it would be worth more to a future buyer, especially that its in really nice shape, to keep it stock and as original as possible. Nice brat either way and I even like the color, its like a light olive green I think??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinny664521903 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 is there specifics on what you need from the fsm cause it would take forever for me to scan the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.C.D. Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 is there specifics on what you need from the fsm cause it would take forever for me to scan the whole thing Well, the whole things, yes. But I don't expect you or anyone to do that. I keep looking and I miss out on them it seems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny664521903 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 so we figured out why it was getting no spark and its because there is no resistor so we decided to let the car sit until i get enough money to swap the engine so anybody wana buy an ea71 as is in houston??

O.C.D. Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Swap the engine because of a resistor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny664521903 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 No that would be retarded i wanted to swap it anyway and if it wouldve been easy getting this motor running i wouldve but its gonna cost me more than i want to pay so why not just swap and put money into something i want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
