  2. ive seen some pics of cars with 5 bolt wheels on them. id like to upgrade to some 14'' legacy wheels. whats needed to be done to get this thanks matt
  3. ooo thats a good idea thanks a LOT bushbasher i have extra struts i took out a couple years ago i can hack those up and then i have a lift and stuff at my dads shop ill put it on and drill that out and move the rear down a little. will that cause any harm to move the rear strut brackets down THANKS matt
  4. i want to lift my car maybe a inch or two. its a 89 gl 4x4 wagon. let me know, i dont feel like spending 300-400 on a lift matt
  5. i belive the the baja will be still being produced. subaru has said nothing that ive heard of even saying about discontinuing the baja, and the sales rep (talked to him like last week) would of mentioned it to me since we were talking about these cars. so its a rumor im sure matt
  6. i have a yellow one, just need a crankshaft for the motor. drove it everyday as a young kid. just sits in the garage now. ill fix it up sometime and get it going again. we got it back in the 70s from my dads dealership. Matt
  7. hey Rick, just wondering if you sent out my radio console yet. ive been kind of waiting for it. let me know since i havent talked to you on the messenger latley. thanks matt
  8. hey there, i have a 1989 gl wagon 4x4 and i want to swap the dumb automatic to a d/r 5 speed this summer or sometime. i have everything (parts car) its a 85. whats all needed to be done. thanks matt
  9. funny thing is my 83 is the SAME thing, its so annoying i HATTTTEE it. mcbrat told me the flipper thing in the filler tube could be stuck. this prevents gas from going out if the car is tipped over ? im gonna check it out. but does yours gurgel then when the gas goes down
  10. im driving down the road in my 89 (fuel injected) gl wagon and im about 3-4,000 rpm. ill let off the gas and the motor sounds like it just died then jumps back up to where it should be on the tach. its hard to explain. what could it be? its not really a problem, but i just dont want it to die all the way some time and not start. matt
  11. here in Mn i just got done ice fishing and i was driving and hit a 3 foot drift like 20 feet long. people were amazed watchin the suby go threw it like nothin matt
  12. hey, i need your address again so i can ship the payment for the shipping on those doors. pm me asap with it thanks matt
  13. just wondering if anyone has a brat gen 2 with dual exhaust, if so gimme how you like it and what kind of products you use. i was kinda thinking of maybe doing it on my 83 and haveing it kinda quiet with a little rumble and then again all stock what would you do?
  14. ahhh a lot of money haha i got it to run though so thats all good. my dad owns the subaru dealership in town so i got the hook up that deserves a banana. well thats cool another mn man nice talkin matt
  15. hey, what part of big minne are ya from? im located in Detroit Lakes
  16. tried it all, even when i put some gas in with a gas can it would over fill and run down the side then slowly go down the tube into the tank. matt
  17. new problem with tank also, i go to put 5.00 of gas in and it takes me about a hour because the gas wont go down the tube fast enough, so i have to barley spray. then it kinda gurgals when it goes down , any ideas? thanks matt
  18. where are the wires for it under the dash? anyone know the colors, because there is a few wires that the previous guy (who didnt know anything) cut some wires for some odd reason. like i say this is on a 83 if this helps thanks matt
  19. my 83 brat that sat 13 years, the gas gauge doenst move a bit. is it the sender you think? suppose all the bolts will break off haha finally got it running real nice and actually got to drive it about 6 miles today. id like to know how much gas i have though can someone help me? thanks
  20. yea, bought one for my 00 rs and the local locksmith wrecked it, and said " oops" pretty much, so that sucks nice lookin key anyways matt
  21. i got a 83 brat about a month ago, and its sat ever since 1990. its got 90,000 miles. the motor was toast so i replaced it with a really good one from another brat. new cluth, new fuel filters, new fuel pump. new gas, the tank is plugged so i gotta do somthing about that. what else should i do? matt
  22. ahh from the factory there are two little dimples where you screw into the front bumper, i know this, i work at a dealership and my dad owns it. thats where the factory wants the license plate. matt
  23. my opinion its worth more than 1000, cant get jack for 1000 anymore. expecially a rust free brat. miles? who cares its got 65K on the motor. its good for a nother 250,000 but thats just my opinion
  24. ahh my the looks of the green plugs, they are "test connectors" all new subarus come with them plugged in and we have to unplug them when they come in to get the check engine light off. the light will come on if they are plugged in.. just dont worry about them matt
  25. yeah, my 86 brat does that, gets pretty annoying and embarising after school, all the kids here this squeeling under the hood haha, oh well the brat is awesome matt
