  1. Find an XT6 here http://car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi Search for a different part.I used a camshaft. Phone one of the wreckers and have them cut off the pigtail. Those pins will be available somewhere.I bought subaru ECU pins from a different dealer-Honda maybe? Or ask these guys https://www.iwireservices.com/3-pin-plugs You don`t need to run the car to troubleshoot the 3.2 volts.Just have the key on. You should read the codes.Easy and possibly informative. Check the 3.2 at the cts plug while both the TPS and MAF are unplugged. It is possible that a fault there could load the 5 volt supply enough to drop the voltage.I would expect a trouble code. I would get a backup ECU while they are still around.

  2. I reckon that’ll serve you well! I’d probably look at adding some supports to the mounting brackets to reduce flex or future metal fatigue. On my L I’ve run with some roof rack that my dad got from a tip in the ‘70s. Fits perfectly and does the job, it’s a bit ratrod - and I’ve just picked up a tradies roof rack from a van, it’s almost double the size! So that’ll be cut down before long and fitted. I couldn’t go past it for $50! Cheers Bennie

  3. But they didn’t chop the wagon. The brat/brumby has a longer wheel base than the wagon. The wagon has the same wheel base as the hatch if I’m not mistaken. Yes, yes it was. So much potential there that hindsight shows us it was a bad decision to go with the 4 door. Cheers Bennie

  5. Brat (Brumby!) more desirable in my book. Better load tray setup - front and rear of rear axle, Baja has only rear of the rear axle. But the Baja drivetrain is “better” by today’s standards. The little EA81 in the brat does it’s job and is basically bullet proof but the power and torque of the EJ engine coupled with the AWD box is more desirable items to have under the bonnet of the brat. Power to weight ratio is awesome with this setupin the brat. At the end of the day you’ve got to be the one enjoying looking at it and driving it. The brat can feel quite agricultural if your other car is a late model. It’s a step up from a tractor with its heater and ability to do highway speeds I love my brat (Brumby), and hope to be doing an EJ22 and AWD box swap in the near future, keeping the stock drivetrain for later if I want to revert back to stock. Lastly, the brat had a very long production run compared to that of the Baja. Cheers Bennie Edit: the Baja is only available stateside. I believe it was a Subaru of America conception against the advice of Subaru Japan. Belly flop, but a very unique vehicle for the Subaru line up too.
