this may seem like a really dumb ?, but is it possible to pull off a turbo from a turbo model of the ea81 to stick on my 86 brat?

Does anyone know if the 8 lug pattern that the ford and chevy trucks use line up w/ the subarus 4 lugs?

Anyone know how to get ahold of byb inorder to get my hands on one of their lift kits? i tried their email but no response....

Has anyone done the 6 lug nut conversion? is it worth it?

Sounds awsome! now if i could just get my hands on some 15" rims...

Has anyone put a BYB lift kit on their brat or ea1? if so how hard is to do? how good are they?

What are the biggest rims and tires can i put on my 86' brat w/ out lifting it?

One last ? there are four little mounting brackets place all just placed a lil inside of where the head rests mount but they are a little different looking 2 does any1 no wat they are for?

So after a long night we finally got the seats and frame put in the bed (will post pics soon) but i am still having some trouble w/ the belts when u pull up on the metal lever in the back on one of them the belt will come out on the other one the lever won't even come up thanks nathan

I am installing some jump seats in my brat but the belts that i got from another brat seem to be locked up is there some button i need to press?

Is it a regular 3 prong flasher?

where is the flasher located on my 86' brat? i cannot find it anywhere

Part of the plug was broken off way inside the radiator

I started to flush out the radiator on my 86 brat so i drained the antifreeze that was in there then put some cleaner and then drained that then i put the water in there well now the water will not drain i am just gettin a trickle. Any ideas?

Big Hail! Either that or it was some very large snow flakes

as i am nearing the compleation of the mechanical parts of my brat i am starting to prepare for the body work that lies ahead. First the hood is hail damaged and i am thinking it may be just as easy to pull off a hood from a station wagon or other 80's subaru. are all of the ea81 hoods the same? Same with the doors. The other thing is the trim along the top of the bed and tailgate is pretty smashed up and i am sure those trim parts are not easy to find in good condition. Has someone came up with another cool way to trim these? thanks

So would it be a clean swap to stick a ea82t in it?

My 86' brat has a ea81 in it, was this put in it after market? shouldn't it have a ea82?

alright so i pulled my fuel filter off and had some1 turn the car over and just a drizzle of gas came out of the line coming into the filter. does that mean the pump is bad or is there another filter inside the pump that could be clogged?

I recently purchased a 86' brat. It had been sitting in a junkyard for awhile but I was able to start her up and get her to run. well the other day i tried to start it up and it was a no go. I pulled off the air fillter and no gas was squirting into the carb. I replaced the fuel filter underneath the bed and it appeard that both lines had fuel in them and i pulled the fuel filter off underneath the hood and tried to start it and no gas came out. Any ideas wat it could be? fuel pump? thanks

So I started to take my car apart to fix the wheel bearing and quickly started getting over my head. I have the chilton's guide but it isn't helping me too much. It is a 82' wago front wheel drive. So far i have pulled the brake caliper off, removed the crown nut and pulled off the hub and that is where i am lost. My book says to remove all the stuff in the front half shaft but is that really necesary? Would anyone give me a step by step from here and put it in simple terms that a beginner would understand? one last ? totaly off the subject, but will jump seats from an 83' brat fit in a 85/86? thanks!

thanks guys! i will see what i can do!

ok well... the ball joint area was not moiving from what i could tell so that leaves me w/ probably a worn out wheel bearing?

Now that i have it up on a jack w/ no parking break the tire is extremely loose is there a way to tell one problem from another?

I see! I will go check it again, this time w/ out the parking brake!
