Hi, new guy from TN. After wanting a BRAT for 40 years, finally got one... Sitting under a tree, "Ran when I parked it there".... Ignition switch broken so raided my stash and rewired. Now will run on fuel supplied directly to the carb but the fuel pump itself is very noisy and not pumping fuel. But I have a BRAT! and all sorts of plans for it..... VANDAL

I think he’s probably finished his camping trip by now.

The exhaust note description is odd to me. I would make sure what you’re feeling and describing are definitely transmission issues. I’ve seen people get confused between what is an engine issue or transmission issue and engine issues can cause erratic shifting. I’ve had a number of people over the years who describe that they have a transmission issue and I end up repairing an engine issue. Under covers. No. They are routinely missing with age, I’m usually surprised to get a 10+ year old Subaru that still has them.

Thanks for the confirmation! Can’t wait to do the same thing someday. Looking forward to seeing more progress pics, rallybru!

I haven’t been around much, but is it really possible to get an EJ22 engine into this thing? Or am I misunderstanding the swap? Very curious how this turns out. I’ll probably be wanting to do something similar before too long.

back from paint! GD says it looks amazing and i totally agree! less than 24 hours...so excited!
