Why one should stay in school.

What I bought her: http://www.kay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product1|10101|10001|-1|161215809|15051|15051.15057.15106

This is about the most we ever get here: Rest in peace 84 GL hatchback.

I am not one to bring an old thread up but I believe this needs addressing. Why can we not get a better picture for the brat in the wikipedia article. I think it deserves better than that rusted, dirty, and dented DL one that is featured. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Brat

Exactly, those were a 1983 model.

Tim you forgot, that is also a dealer installed wing made by Mitsuba.

Sounds like a chevy starting up and a rally car with an open exhaust.

That video got me laughing very, very hard. Had to watch it twice.

My first little bit of advice pretaining to the intake manifold would be to buy the gaskets from the dealer not that autozone crap. Here is why: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=81092&highlight=intake+gasket+failure And to be careful when taking that intake bolts out, they like to break on ya. I bought a can of PB blaster and that helped to break them loose for me.

I had to give that a re-read to fully understand what you were talking about. Daeron, that mind of yours' had to come in and ruin it.

Need to get that stupid wing off that poor car. Looks like he was drunk when he tried to paint the six stars on the side.

Thanks for the warm wishes guys.

Looks like some kind of wigged out VW Rabbit. I couldn't imagine woud 750 hp would feel like in that thing; probably the equivalent to a fighter jet coming off the deck of a carrier.

My campus is about two miles for me, work is about 3. I usually go about 20 minutes early and set the choke and let the old girl warm up. My switch is warn out so I can take the keys out and lock the door while its running and also lock my apartment up without having to turn the brat off.

Wish I could afford those jump seat belts at this time. I must defer to SubaruGuru. Buying engagement ring this weekend, been putting that off since I bought the BRAT last fall. Ill eventually throw up a wanted ad cause I need the male bits as well being that one side is rusted together, belt and male part. Ebay would bring a high sum for those. Kyle.

Yet again I have to say this. Go to the dealer and get a thermostat and gasket. They are awesome, I am running one as well.

Would they pull it for you?

You should grab them "Turbo" side view mirrors and make you some money.

Sounds like you have an alternator on the way out. My hatchback did some goofy things when it started to go on it. I.E.: wipers coming on and blowing every light in the climate control and half in the cluster and my normal running headlights. I too had to drive home with the brights, alot of other pissed off drivers blinded.

Ive done just about the same thing you have with the interior on my blue brat, just not replaced everything all at once like that. Looks like a heck of a job. Keep us updated.

I want them brat seat belts. :slobber::slobber:

Thanks Jordan, She really is running alot better, gonna go right now and run some seafoam in the gas and the carb to clear out some more of that carbon buildup that was in my EGR.

Never seen blue climate controls before. I had a cb in hatchback for awhile till one day the wiring caught on fire and burnt my leg and fingers. How do you have the antanna coming back into the cab?

If memory serves me correctly, the Carter-Weber was a one barrell or something. I assume its still for sale in the "for sale" forum. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=80874&highlight=buy+a+weber This a retailer a few people have used. http://www.redlineweber.com/

Wasn't it for sale on craigslist?
