so if it only has tach will the computer try to kill itself?

whats the best way to get the harness out of donor car?I would be at pull and save in spokane,wa.2 hours from where I live so Id rather not have to make numerous trips.

so then its not an issue with 4 speed D/r? Saves me 50 bucks for a new tranny,not to mention time at pull and save.The brat will be an offroad playtoy.. so if I have to drive it on the street put it in 4hi in the rain. just tring to find the most reliable setup.axles I can replace,blown trannies suck,just like blown engines.

I might be useing an EJ22 if I can find one at pull and save in spokane for the engine for my brat.If indeed there is a speed limiter how does it detemine how fast you are going? Note:I would use a 5 speed d/r box so not the same tranny.so would the computer let the EJ22 do 5th gear redline pulls?

welcomen sparkless anyone see irony in that? hint:german hello+drunk

what else could you have kids break? "don't drop that bolt in the motor" BANG =New EJ22:burnout:

ok the motor in my brat is blown so Im thinking of dropping in an EJ22.I know theres wiring work involved(scary,time consuming)not to mention an adpater to fit the EJXX motor to EA trans.Heres my question.How much power can the 4 sp D/r hold up to?if I drop in EJ motor can I go with performance exhaust,intake,etc.Or keep the motor stock?thanks in advance.

$$$$$

are the kids going to pay for it?

Why not just weld your diff?same goal,a lot less work.

My brat is silver right now.only problem is rust has went through the silver in some spots,partically the bed and fenders.About how much bed liner do I need to line the bed,from bottom to top rail,front to back? also what do you think of my idea for the tree protection for the front?

The Paint on my 84 brat is ************e so I was thinking of something better.How is this?The green is dark green and the dark grey is supposed to be flat black.the pic doesnt show future lift and it doesnt show my 102" whip antenna.bear with me.it saved low quality so areas that are green are just a solid color not camo,same with flat black.note this is not my brat. I call it subi roadwarrior. also there is a snorkel on the passenger side A pillar

propane?

the longer your tubes are the more problems you can have.how do you deal with the hot line exploding in the cabin?

what kinda tools do I need to pull an EJ22? hell at 135 bucks for an EA81 or 135 bucks for EJ22...hmmm,I think I have a 1/2" steel plate liing around thats about 3ft X3ft..could make adapter...hmmm,interesting. edit: where is the computer that controls the engine.not sure if theres more than one computer.

anyone near spokane?first hand experiances?I think I will have to call the spokane Pnp in the morning.

how much is a subi EA81 at Pnp?

the junkyard wants 276 for a EA81 motor out of a hatch plus radiator.this is a JY that is 30 miles away.our local JY has zip for subarus from 1980-92.even then a motor from a 92 lego is 300.I dunno would PnP in spokane have EA81's?

I dunno my brat is beat up and the motor is blown,and the tranny needs work.I realize I wouldnt be able to haul stuff.the only thing the wagon would cost me is gas and the money to rent a trailer 2 hours.I do like the brat but short of paying $300 for a new motor,it isnt going to run.so a brat body is worth more than running wagon?

keep the lights,sell the brushguard for money to lift the roo.

One of the "You might be a subi owner" rules.If something major or expensive breaks its cheaper to get another subi.The engine on my brat died.while follwing a lead for a new engine I made a backwater deal with a small junkyard.I get a running and driving 84 wagon.It has the 1800 motor,and D/R tranny.AND REVERSE actually works.it has some front end damage becuase someone hit a dirt hill to hard,and it is the most awful shade of yellow I have ever seen.I score all that for the price of gas to haul my brat 30 miles.So is it worth it? a 1984 wagon with 1.8 and DR traded straight across for a 1984 brat with blown motor and in need of the shifter slop mod.The wagon is a bit more dented but its not like the brat wasnt going to get that way anyway.With the wagon I would take my friends camping and whatnot. possible paint idea: How do you think this will look on an 84 wagon-Flat black hood,olive green rest of car.with a 102" whip on the roof.

just secure that spare tire and you will be golden.

I might have found a 1980 hatch with the 1600 locally,if I was to drop the ea 71 motor in would it be just to get the brat moving or would it have any power?

holy hell what could you possibly use those wheels for other than driving on the railroad?

If a 102" whip towers 7 ft above my brat how tall does that make the brat? I mounted the whip on a braket just below the rear window.subi purists will flame me but I drilled right through the metal on the back of the cab and ran a 5/16" bolt though it,then a nut holds everything together on the back.then that plastic cover in the back of the cab covers the bolts...Im thinking of runing a coax cable from the bracket through one of the sides of a t top then connecting it to the uniden CB.
