archemitis Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 this is no big surprise with our old subies, but i was on a wild goos chase this weekend to front brake pads for my 87 2wheel drive hatch. the first place gave me 7123 which was apparently for an ea82, and they had the same ones listed for the brat. after some screwing around and calling my car an 84 we found the right pads and they were 10 miles away. i went to go get them, and they matched my old pads so i bought them. got them home and the little tab was rivited to the wrong side. so i went somewhere else and found them i stock. just dont trust parts guys or their all mighty computers.

MilesFox Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 a lot of times the 3-door is listed as "hatchback" and the hatch is listed as "STD" you might as well order for the same year brat, or an 84 wagon. the only difference with the late model hatches is the ea71 motor(all though they have the ea81 bellhousing and valves) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 hehe just like headlights for my 84 hatch.. advance auto parts has that wrong.. after the guy argueing with me, tryin to convince me i only had 2 headlights not 4, i had him look up a brat.. that was listed correctly as having 4, so i bought those.. he seriously thought i couldn't count or somethin.. like i can't tell the difference between 2 and 4.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
