Twitch de la Brat Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I tried to start the BRAT but forgot I drained the battery (Left the key in the acc position, not off ) so its been sitting there waiting for new front rotors and pads :-\ I moved Xandra about 50 feet, so she no longer in Dad's way. And I've been working on Zeh Nite Vagon, fixing those *&%*&^$ exhaust studs. Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Lol, isn't there supposed to be a big hunk of aluminum where your standing? I replaced my Trans in my 82 Brat, got stuck in 4th gear Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danrenfroe2016 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 hey.. Ricearu, what winch is that??? -daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) it is a chinese one I got from work. its a 2000lb dead 4000lb rolling rated winch. I tested it by pullin my car through the bar ditch in neutral.it didn't complain, neither did I for the $30 price tag. too bad there isn't any more... now, what i REALLY want is some junk plate steel to build myself a low profile one piece push bar bumper with integraded winch mount. the plate the wench is on now, is bolted through the bumper support, but i still dont like it that much Edited September 14, 2010 by Ricearu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanurys Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Does anyone want to get in on the SJR group buy? We're doing several kinds of lift kits as described in the thread in the classifieds section. Go there to voice your interest. Today I picked up a battery tray and hold down kit. The old one was hanging on by a rusty thread and an old solid core wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanyou Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Mostly shook a wrench at the ol girl today.. Tried adjusting the idle but couldnt get it to the 800rpm, wanted to stay around 1000-1100. Car gets shaking rather nice with max a/c on, gives a feeling of wanting to die. New spark plugs but she is burning pretty rich, blackened them within a week. 140 miles out of a tank since I got her, looking into how to mess with the fuel/air mix if I can do it on my own. Contemplating putting in power steering, cruise, and/or a weber carb when I get around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanurys Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Today I drew up designs for my own PCV oil catch can using a quart canning jar and a little sheet metal + beer can. I'll post up as the prototype it is built. The inspiration is CMILLER's Perrin can. Also, we need one more person for the SJR lift kit group buy! If you were planning on lifting your rig, hit up the classified section. With 1 more the discount will be %25 off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beataru Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Was it rediculously hard to get off? Mine was, I had to take the strut out and use a BFH to tell it who was boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 BFH does the trick, BFH if those parts are being a wongleflute! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 2 BFH's, a punch, a chisel, a 12" bar to hammer the lower control arm down, removed sway bar bolt, ball joint pinch bolt, castle nut, and beat the piss out if it. took a while. man am i happy. that ball joint had 1/4" of play and was barely even together. the ball almost was able to come out of the cup...

hanyou Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Shop just told me the air fuel mix didnt help, carb is still making it run rich and isnt adjusting right. $50 down the drain and $100-150 more to tinker with it, so I was told. New Weber is en route... didnt like those vac hoses anyways but its a shame I couldnt keep that air filter box, gave me warm fuzzies to open the hood and see SUBARU.

vagen Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 if you were really handy you could make the stock filter housing fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 It would be easier to put a subaru sticker on the weber filter housing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
