PHATBRAT Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Tonight I finally got around to at least peeling the tape off of the RX body kit that barracuda sent to me. I walked it over to my sedan to see if it would match up or if it had to be shortened or anything. *Note: I only attempted the side skirts, nothing else. (this goes for the rest of the story too) Anyway, On my way back to the garage I have to pass my BRAT and just happened to notice that it looks about the same length. So me being me, I put the side skirt up against the BRAT and it appears that it fits perfect. Not only that but it looks really cool on a BRAT. Tomorrow, I will see if the rest will match up. I was going to keep this a secret but I am too excited, was afraid someone else may beat me to the idea, and I will probably never get around to doing it so I thought I would share the idea. Just for the record, It was MY idea (For future reference) Boz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hrm. I wonder if that '86 RX has a body kit on it.... that would look real good on the brat coupled with the 15" pugs i found. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Here's a couple idea's. 1) dont stir the pot 2) build your post count by contributing to the discussion (ie, NOT stirring the pot). My Brat will not be a ricer, it will be a rice eater -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 You didnt rub me the wrong way, But there are a few thousand people on this board, and it only takes one smart rump roast remark to set off a few hundred people. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boz i would offer it, but id prolly get jumped by 1000 people, and.. my drift car needs it, it looked so mean when i had my girlfreind and my friend hold the side skirt up there for me to check out.. although, it would look really nice on a brat... im conflicted now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSNRG Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 There was a guy on the old board (may still be around) Subystyles with a tricked out wagon with the RX kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electryc_monk Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 the all silvery pain on all the body parts looks as slick as can be right? and had the vertical "Burnt red" (in my monitors) stripes under the rear passenger doors only? if this is the one then yup they are around here too.

Dr. RX Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Brian, the sedans don't have the same aero kit that the 3drs do. They usually had a front air dam, a little flare thing by the rear door, and a rear spoiler that mounted on the trunk. PHAT, all of the EA82s have the same wheel base, and share most of the body parts. The only problem that I have heard about it putting the rear lower dam on a wagon, the lower valence (sp??) in different. I'm not sure about the EA81s, but they do seem to be about the same size, but I thing the EA82s are wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I know of one Brat with an aero kit on it. It looks Ok but not perfect. The Brat is indeed narrower and it requires splicing of the front and rear pieces to fit. The side skirts should be heated a little to stretch them out to fit better. They are not quite long enough.

AKIRA Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 there are a few thousand people on this board - brian Holy crap! I didn't know there were that many, of course I don't go anywhere but older subarus, so that could be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
