yeah, put me on that list too. if you don`t like it, turn it over to me for some profit, providing its rust free and straight. motor is no biggy.

85 BRAT 82 BRAT 97 Impreza OBS 98 Civic hatch 95 Nissan 200SX SE-r (just got it:banana: ) sr20de FTW!! 2000 Toy Tacoma extracab 4WD 2.7 5sp. if you guys want to start doing past and present cars, i`m out because i lost my list:-\ it was a few pages long

just out of curiosity, where did you have it shipped from? i think i may know the brat you got. congrats on it! welcome to the old school family.

did you change the filters yet? they might be gunked up with old crap from the tank.

can`t blame a guy for wanting a better deal

plenty of potential 2.2s on his new arrivals list: http://www.garysupullit.com/new-arrivals.asp

just kinda stinks that the younger crowd can`t get any junkyard goodness until they are 16:dead: oh and John that sounds awesome! ej22s are usually plentiful there. Gary's u pull it in Binghamton might also have what you need. i know he had at least 5 ej cars last time i was up. he also gaurantees his motors for 30 days and has a bus that rides around the yard that will pick you and your parts up. he has the cheap motor special sometimes too.

just an fyi before you take your son Paul, i`m not sure how old he is, but harry's will not allow anybody under 16 into the yard. even when you are 16, a parent or guardian has to sign some form they give you. some new law, but i tried taking my cousin in who is 14, and they were real strict about it. he had to wait in the car for 3 hours:-\ and i had to carry a geo transmission with no help oh and Jon does this mean ej swap for the brat? and is that rust jones in your avatar?

i'd pass on it honestly. watch all the california craigslist within reasonable distance from you and i bet within a week or 2 you can find a nice rust free comparable car for a third of that price. i`ve watched cali craiglist before and saw many ea82s like that for alot cheaper. basically you are paying $2k extra to buy it from a new car dealer.

congrats man welcome to the brat neighborhood:headbang: OC wrench has one now too!! what are your plans for it? keeping the wagon too?

^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ it would take 20 mins tops to pull all that stuff.

good luck man! on your trip to subaru country

i`m not buying them, if thats what you mean IF i buy anything else it'll be a sube from out west.

if you were closer i`d hook you up right now. there is a 96 taco 4wd down the road for $1200, and a 94 4wd toyo xtracab pickup about 20 mins away for $1400 both 4cyl 5 speeds. i just picked up a 2000 taco xtracab 4wd off its original owner with 111k for $4000. you may want to come out here and buy one if that one falls through:lol:

subieguy in CA had one (mid 70s coupe), but i believe it may have been sent to the subygods. they do exist, be sure to watch craigslist, and keep your eyes wide open when riding around. i found a brat the other day that i never knew existed and its 3 miles from my house!

i always use penzoil and a fram filter with absolutly no ill effects. infact i do the oil changes on 8 of the family vehicles every 3-4k miles, and all of them are fine. thats what is always on special at autozone.

if you haven`t already spray the hell out of it with wd40 just for luck. then take a flat end crow bar or big screw driver and shove the end of it into the little slot where the bolt usually clamps the bottom of the strut down. then try prying it apart in whatever way you can while a buddy jumps on the hub. that should work. make sure the bottom bolts are completly out.

glad you got it. sadly i couldn`t come even close to affording JUST the shipping!

was just running through the ads on trademe and i have to say you guys are extremly lucky to live in NZ! almost all the subes are turbo!! we didn`t get the wrx until 2002 sti until 2004. oh, and i sent out for a few quotes on shipping the gsr for haha's.

in all honesty, i'd say around $1000-1300. i see them in that range in simular sounding condition to yours.

wow!!! i seriously wonder how much it would cost to ship that bad boy over here. wish i could do the whole thing for under $2k but its VERY doubtful:-\

thanks Dave, haven't been to Joe's in at least a couple years, may have to take a ride down and check out his ea81s.

nice outback indeed. auto or stick? you in Northern NJ? i`m in newburgh ny, right off the thruway basically.

to each his own. next time you buy a car, just consider looking at something that is turn key, always taken care of, clean motor inside and out, very few dents, little to no rust, no tears in the seats, never smoked in, good tires/brakes/clutch, and possibly 1 or 2 owners+dealer serviced. there are cars in that range that still can be ho-hum or junk, but there are also ones that fit the bill above. just takes some shopping around. of course there will always be a time where parts need to be serviced or rebuilt, but that is expected in all cars, but a car that has been maintained will need fewer repairs, and usually minor ones that are spaced out, and not all at once.

any ea81s?
