75subie

That is a beauty!!! would that be a 1.4ltr?i think you should get rid of those aftermarket hubcaps, paint the wheels silver, and put back on the original caps.then it would look completly untouched.nice find:headbang:

i know this is way off, but i will get the side x side later.heres the new 85.baja, nice pic of the 3 musketeers.its amazing how narrow the gen 1 looks compared to other years. jon

i`m going to pick up my 85 brat in a day or so.will get a pick side by side with the 80 this week.NICE BRATS you got there:headbang:

i just got a rupp minibike without a motor.do you know what i`m thinkin:brow: ? i already put a suby emblem on its tank

yeah, mine are presses steel.maybe your brat was wrecked and then fixed with those or ???

just got back from a 4 hour trip to go look at a 1985 brat.turns out, i am the proud new owner:banana: .it was in beautiful shape.130k d/r 4sp.no rust on it and the bed is spotless.the jumpseats still have the little covers on the seatbelts.i am jumping of joy. now something has got to go:the yota p/u, the 80 brat, or the 360 van.what would you suggest?any offers? jon

seahag, those seats are beautiful!!could i ask where you got your dash redone, and about how much they charged.i am interested in getting mine redone too.thanks jon ps.hows progress on the 84?

they would need to be adapted, but its usually pretty easy.i have done it a couple times without welding in other cars.just some drilling and fitting.you also may be able to unbolt the base from your original seats and adapt it to new ones.

there are many options at a local junk yard.just measure the maximum width, and look around.look for clean and comfortable ones.hyundai accent seats look like they would fit perfect.very comfortable and most of them have a drivers side center folding arm rest.i was also thinking of 01-05 impreza seats.good luck Jon

i want an SRX

you lucky son of a gun:slobber:

boy there is some fast cars in that garage!!!!!do you get to drive them?

check the coolant.mine would do the same exact thing before i put a new water pump in it.the idle would take sooooo long to kick down, but now it idles at a steady 900 rpm. if you do get to frustrated with it, just don`t make it into a planter.i would take it off your hands for ya:brow: good luck on fixing it, once its running right you will be gad you put the time into it:burnout: -Jon

go to your local "Dollar Tree" and pick up a bottle of this spray called "Awesome Stuff" (its in a spray bottle, not a can).you can`t beat that stuff for a seat cleaner.i had spilled rice and beans all over my hyundai`s seats (from the spanish food stand) and i sprayed that stuff over it, let it sit a while, then scrubbed the heck out of it.can never tell there was a stain there now.i would recomend it highly;)

heres the link to the gasket: http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=FEL&mfrpartnumber=60308&parttype=97&ptset=A

advanced auto sells the correct gaskets for $2 ea.i bought a couple when i intstalled the exhaust on my brat.you can look the gaskets up on there website, or if there is a avanced auto store local to you, its worth the trip.got any pics of your brat?

i think it is some franchises are better than others.i used the one by me twice and have had nothing but luck.they painted my 360 sedan for 500 including rust work.the paint is three years old now, and still looks and shines nice.i only know of one rust bubble on the whole car.i also had a honda painted by them, and will for shure use them again.i would recomend the maaco in middletown NY, but i don`t know about others.i would still say, go for it! good luck, jon

Did subaru make a turbo hatchback from the factory?are the ultra rare or something.i`ve never seen one:confused:

if you ever do decide to sell the rx, please let me know.i would be interested. if you do want to fix it with a stock ea82t, they are about $350-420 on ebay for a JDM.but you could find some on the board a little cheaper. -Jon

tailgatewagon, is this the brat you are reffering to?: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~kerrtw/gallery.html

if you do decide to get it painted, bring it to maaco.they did a heck of a job for me for 500 including doing some rust work.that is unless you like doing paint work, i just didn`t feel like doing it.good luck, jon

hay spanky pete, i just noticed in the new photos section pics of your parts brat.is that the one you were talking about? jon

hi if you would be able to use spanky petes brat as a mule, that would be great! because i am all the way on the other side of the country in NY.i am very interested in a lift though and would pay shipping.thanks for posting Pete! jon

how about ea71:brow: or am i pushing my luck.mudrat said he did it before.would you need a car as a model to do it on?i have an 80 brat and would be interested.

this should fit a gen 2 brat also i would think.are the underbodies the same?
