WOW PAUL>>> YOU MEAN A GEN II BRAT IN PLASTIC>>> WAY COOL... Man you gotta get that for yourself....... Was that a custom thing??? ANY PLOWS PAUL???? Oh Ben still dint email me.. see if you can get a hold of him.. Joe

Is there a good donor car for a bigger rad. for a brat????

What year legacy will fit????

I guess he really needed it....

The only fan that comes on it the cooling fan when I disconnect the thermoswitch wire. I will sometime tonight or Monday to disconnect the fan wire and thermo wire and listen for a click sound somewhere... Thanks Again All for your input ... Joe

Bump again

BUMP.. Thanks Mick... Any other input on my problem child.

I agree that would be cool....

Well I sanded the area where the wire connects from the radiator to the steel frame on the front of the brat... I even sanded the wire eye loop connector... No Luck.... I also removed the wire that attaches to the thermoswitch and sanded the connection right on the thermoswitch... Still no luck,, As I said grounding the thermoswitch wire to the frame does not turn the fan on because when I simply removed the wire from the thermoswitch the fan came on immediately. So Im assuming that the wire leading to the thermoswitch must be grounding itself somewhere before it even gets to the thermoswitch. I was hoping that someone else had this problem and found a simple solution instead of me trying to trace the wiring in the harness... Im not to good at that stuff... Thanks for your replys.. every bit helps...

Well I think after investing 6000 I would keep it as long as the car has very little rust issues.. Drive it til it pukes and then buy a used trans with around 100K from a salvage yard...

Hey All.. Once again Iam in need of your wisdom.... 1985 EA81 Brat My Electric Fan Will Not Turn On... I did the testing that our Holy Bible " HTKYSA" Book says... When I disconnected the the wire from the Thermoswitch the Fan turned on without being grounded. Both Fans come on when the Air Cond. is turned on.... Does anybody have any other suggestions of where else I can check the wiring... I can only assume that the wire is grounding out somewhere else.. The wire goes into a mess of other wires in a plastic tube. It seems the thermoswitch was replaced once before because the wire was spliced right before it was connected to the thermoswitch. Thanks All... Joe

My local dealer can... He took my numbers off the original key and made them with somekind of hand tool... Send me the code and when I get back there Ill get ya one or two and send it to ya... The price was 2.50 a key I think... Joe

There is a after market 14 inch alloy that has 10 spokes that I would like from the wheel page.. sort of looks like the wheels from the general lee dukes of hazzard car... Set of 4 if luck has it please... Or there is a Subaru 13 inch 12 spoke called a Shawdow Mag on the wheel page... thanks Joe

Say there is a alternator shop that rebuilds alternators about 35 miles south of me... Should I see if they could rebuild a old one???? What year is it 82??? Oh I like that cool picture in your threads of the center light coming on... It would be cool to have that for my desktop background. Joe

Hi.. my 85 Brat when started runs at 500 RPM but runs rough.... My other Brat when I start it runs at 2000 rpm and then when I press the gas and release it drops down to 1000 rpm and idles fine and smooth... What should I do to fix the Brat running rough on start??? Also the rough one has AC.. Should when the ac is turned on boast the idel up some??? because it does not do that now??? Thanks Joe

What should our EA81 cars or brats idle at when started? And is there a difference for ones with AC Vs. NO AC???? MY 84 wagon when I start it will idle at 1000 RPM. My 85 Brat wants to idle at 500 RPM's. But the Brat runs rough at this idle speed.. Should I just turn up the throttle screw a bit??? Thanks Again ALL.. Joe

Oh should I clean the EGR valve like they say to in the "HTKYSA" Book??? doe sit really matter????

I rest the EGR Light... anyone know else know about my mileage questions if it will come again at 180K??? Joe

Well I was poking around under the fuse box to reset the EGR Valve ( ON MY BRAT)by doing the wire swap Shawn described when I found a two green wires under the dash that seem to go together.. I connected them and bingo the clock is keeping memory.. But it seems that it might be draining the battery down... Ill leave it hooked up and check it out around 6 PM Monday 7/12. I also found another green wire with nothing connected to it... I looked at this same wire on my other subie and found that wire being used for power to a switch under the dash someone put in that leads to the front of the car under the bumper. The wire gauge is small so I assume it didnt power anything big like fog lights. Anyone use this wire for power for somethin like lights ??? If I can figure out how to put a pic of the Brats wires I will.. Joe

Bump...

Clock keeps time when car is running but shut off the key and no more correct time.. resets itself back to 1:00.. any ideas how to check or fix??? Thanks

I just wanted to let you know that Cabela's catalog have camo seat covers and also a book called the sportsman's guide... I think they even have a web site so you can search for them... Here is the phone number 1-800-888-3006 and here is the item number X2G-68470-000-000.. This was the item number off of the shipping label. The price was 29.99 and comes with two high back seat covers a camo blanket/ Wheel Cover/ And U shape pillow... Joe

Hey all... I still didnt do that wire swap under the dash to clear the EGR Light that is lit on the dash... I know I was told that the EGR light will come on in the dash cluster every 60K miles.... But I was curious to know does that mean it will come on again at 120K miles and 180K miles???? Thanks Joe See Im trying to verify mileage on my brat that is showing 62K on the clock. Thanks for your replys Daaa REPLIES LOL... Joe

Thanks Ill talk to PK about it... do you have a email address???
