don't think gold or chrome looks good. keep it black.

Dealer. There is a reason Subaru dealer costs slightly more: It fits, it is correct, and it is of good quality. You are only going to shorten the life of your Brat if you use sub standard parts. It deserves better, and the cost is well worth it.

Noticed my BRAT muffler was getting a little more rumble today, the bottom back is blowing out on it......guess I need to search up on a replacement at some point. Also cleaned up the battery terminals, replaced the positive end connector. New Plugs NGK (old were 2 autolite and 2 champion) for the red turd, and a replacement dizzy, still not running good, pop pop pop on cyl sounds like from the dizzy area , maybe a new cap will fix it got one coming.

It is a "serious" looking Justy. bet that gets some attention.

There is a reason OEM cost more sometimes. At least it fits, installs with ease, and comes with all washers, bolts to do the job.

installed new NGK plugs, got second distributor, installed that dizzy, still same issue, pop-pop=pop when the plug wire to cylinder 3 is on the cap. so no change. just ordered a new cap.... if that doesnt do it, then only thing i can think of is plug wires. anymore thoughts. the red turd still awaits a good running day. i only sweat a little putting the plugs and dizzy in, temp is 95 heat index 110, likely to have this another 6 days of temps. oh here is the red turd

the guy called in to car talk for update. the weight of the coop was enough to damage the trailer axle into a bent hunk of rod......snowmobile trailers are not very sturdy.. he had to have a flatbed move it.

out of ALL the junkyards i go to, Evey single one with a ej25 in it has printed on the window, bad engine. Every single one with ej22 in it has printed, engine good.... that means something if you are looking for reliability. ej25 is not as reliable. proven over and over if you want to stick with ej18, get delta cams, and be done.

anything is possible if you put some time and effort to it. its easier to swap to the gen2 brats. not speaking with experience..do you have gen1 or gen2 BRAT?

I like to put taller on mine. Leg ss stock is 195/60/15, but i put 205/60/15 cause the tire was cheaper. My parents 06 they put one size taller too. Lower rpms at same mph give better fuel economy.

remind me not to move there wth

if parking long term somewhere, might want to pull some fuses and some plug wires off......seen too many of this as of recently

might be this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250840228306&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT you know those are trailer wheels, right.?

Nice work. If you want more of a challenge next go try that with a SVX:grin:

and dont forget the AE (anderson erickson here) but on a subie, Anniversary Edition. then the ll bean, etc, eddie bauer, lol, and soon to be the basspro shop edition....means nothing to me isnt the lance armstrong model coming soon? and ken block or travis pastrana

DL -lack of options, no tach etc.

from experience. my 92SS i took the trim off, sanded, primed, painted with black lacquer. Reinstalled the trim. Looked awesome, for about 2 months. Then, it too began flaking off. In a year or so it looked like what i started with. Not sure you are going to get anything to stick except for some outdoor black vinyl tape.

surprised it took so long for this and i highly thank you for doing this.

thanks for the reply.

Okay more digging found: distributor connector wiring connector: harness side - distr side black . . black red . . red GRN . . WHITE WHITE . . GRN thats doesnt seem right with how i know sub wiring to be...anyone got one of these pos cars to see if yours is that way?

my dad put over 460k miles on his 88 olds ciera 3.8 But after i switchd my parents over to subarus, they sold it and it is still running around it is a daily driver for who they sold it too. yes, 460k and counting, but my dad was a GM mechanic for 41 years so he maintained it to perfection.

sometimes autos arent bad, no clutch to replace, etc. plus they are good for torque. i need a known good distributor next up and i will install new ngk plugs...had a few autolites and a few champions in this pos..

speaking on experience, i had a 92 legacy sport i bought it had kyb agx and eibach sport springs. Handled like a go cart, but was WAY too stiff and harsh for daily driving, a bumpy road about caused neck pain. thing was horrible, my parents could not even ride in it a short distance it was that bad. yanked them off and sold them, put on some legacy gt springs/shocks. Great ride and handling returned. The person i sold it to said it was the best riding car he had driven.

all plugs removed. snap-on guage throttle propped some battery, probably could charge it up again. I think the problem on this car is something in distributor. runs pretty lousy, plug wire for cylinder 3 when on the cap, makes a "pop, pop, pop" sound near the distributor. unplug #3, and no pop pop pop.. timing is on. bought the car in this condition. wont talk about how the plugs looked, not putting these back in it.

what thoughts out there on the following compression test 1993 ea82" 3-145 1-135, 130, 132 4-125, 138 2-155
