one eye

So My Red Brat has been sitting for about the last 2 years, I have got some new found insperation to get it back into good running shape. I need to replace the clutch and a few other things but I'll keep everyone up to date with it, Just for a little something for the offroad section............ Here is how it looked in 2004 Then I lifted it.............. I'll post up some pics of the progress and what it looks like now.............. Jeff

Weld it, There are a ton of extra rearends, and rear axles around. If you have and EA81 swap the bells. other wise like Monstaru said, Good luck.... Or you could just get a different rig....................but every rig has its weak link................ Jeff

I'm thinking its a push button with a turbo.................kinda not going to work at all for wheeling but good for ralley X.......................... Jeff

The Hatch Patrol and NWWO had a Meet together just last month, It was just for everyone though, NWWO has 18 active members, who wheel together from time to time, Scott, Me, Rob, Rick and Woody are the main ones that wheel almost every month together, John, Reid, Mike, Cody and Jared are the hit and miss guys, but all make it out from time to time. Pat has a rig that will be for Wheeling coming up soon too as well as Richard. Either Way I have reason to belive that We are kinda one of the leading Offroad clubs for Subaru's in the state, Not bad mouthing any of the other groups but we meet almost every month for a run, and they are well documented, just do a search of "Walker Valley" and you'll see. As for ralley, I myself am not into it that much, but it doesnt mean that you have to have the one stop shop club, that will just make things confusing to have to much crap in one group. NWWO is just what its says NW Washington Offroad...........Offroad...............in ....... NW..... ....Washington................ Just check out the videos it will all make sence as to what we do, We all have our sway bars removed, no ralley here..................... I hope that helps you Jeff

Welcome aboard!!! just make sure you always have water in that thing..............turbo's will blow HG's pretty easy...................... Jeff

Kinda looks like this...................... Jeff

No I dont think so This Rathbun was from my Second Grandpa, he was from Wendell ID.................. Grandma has been married 4 times, but all have passed away,except Gandpa Jack .........heis the most recent..... Jeff

Better name? there are already a crap load of us here, come aboard if you wish...................I dont see myself going your way............. http://www.myspace.com/nwwashingtonoffroad Here are a couple vids to http://www.youtube.com/user/jpjumbo87 BTW if you would like to Buy a subaru I know a guy in Mount Vernon that has one for sale and has a ton of other Subaru things................ NW Washington Offroad..................................just say it a few times you'll learn to like it...................... Jeff

I'm out too, got to go to the east side, my Grand Parents crashed pretty hard.......... http://www.methowvalleynews.com/story.php?id=2074 They are still in the hospital in Republic WA now, Grandma has 8+ broken ribs and Grandpa Jack has a broken vert. in his neck and broken ribs...... Jeff

Have you checked your codes Mark? right under the steering wheel it will flash and it should give you an Idea what is going on........it just a thought, could be far deeper than that but its worth a try...................... Jeff

do you have the strut adjusted up? that can cause wheel hop aswell....... Jeff

No your right John, that is wrong, the straight blocks need to have 15* drilled in them as well...................... Jeff

On the trial fixes.......................looks perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeff

Take the cap off and see if the rotor is spinning................ Might spin if you broke the passengers side............... Jeff

Cut the front blocks at 22* and put them in so it pushes the strut in twards the motor............ in the rear just lift the 19mm bolt under the rear seat all the way up................... it will end up like the one in the pick below.............. there is no lift blocks in the rear of this car, just the 19mm all the way up, the tire size is 235/75/15's with trimming we made them fit..................... Jeff

I see why you keep showin the drivers side............. Jeff

So I found a map, anyone know the good trials? http://homepage.mac.com/jgreening/.Public/MAPS/Reiter%20Trails%20Map.pdf Jeff

If you ever need any extra's I got a ton of them, and you can have 'em Jeff

Use the 15" subaru spare tires and wheels to put on the pug. Jeff

They killed a touring wagon.................. Jeff

Those lady/guys had like 70,000 bucks into their rides. Chris had 205/60/15's on his rig and it went well other than this little spot Oh and it was an AT so things can still be gone through, BTW Chris I'm not bad mouthing your car.......... I want to hit some real trails up there Like this I dont want to break things like on the first pic there.......... Jeff

Will, 31's with a 2" lift................no prob. I've done it 105 times now, and thats sweet you got a 2WD AT XT Turbo GL57 with a power sunroof, and came stock with toyota six lug convertion, with a Wammy bar:lol:.......... thats like tryin to find a dully Brat.........its hard trust me.........., bring it on over and we'll see what we can do with a lift for it........... just carfull I hear the GL57 turbo sedan XT's are prone to blow HG's:lol::lol: and Maroon, I dont think I've ever seen a Maroon Subaru.... :lol::lol::lol: On a more Serious note. Progress of the New Brat.................... You can see there is some big work ahead in some of these pics.......... I'll keep putting up more pics as things go along................. Jeff

Anyone interested in a Run to Rieter? I would like to try and run down there around Sept 20th. Jeff

I'll be there for you next time Rob, just remember 44, I would have loved to go but, things just didn't work out. As for Rons arm I taked to him today and he seems to be doing OK, it broke the big bone in his arm and chipped the smaller one, its was just sort of a strange turn of events the way it happened, he is going to a surgen tomorrow, might have to put screws in it........ that really sucks. Jeff

Ok Maybe I jumpped the gun there. What is your car EA81, EA82?????? Jeff
