I had my Alpine in the top din first but when changing a CD with cups in the holder, I had to take the cups out and close the holder:mad: . Never had a problem with removing the face though. Moved it to the bottom and have had no problems with it whatsoever minus not being able to read the face with the glare:rolleyes: .

I'm doing a temporary engine transplant into my BRAT. It's a 275K mile EA81 and was wondering besides the HGs, Water Pump, Oil Pump, and seals, what else should I replace w/o splitting the block? I don't think I'll put more than 25K miles on the temp motor but figure I might as well replace AT LEAST the HGs due to overheating due to electrical gremlins and making sure the surfaces aren't warped.

+1. I did barely feel the one in Paso a few years ago (thought my dog bumped my bed).

How about July 26th everyone?

Driving is fun. Thankfully I live in a small town and have lots of nice twisty roads with elevation changes and all the goodies to race up and down:headbang: . Only down side is I have as much law enforcement in the 33k population county as in LA:eek: , so cannot really fly like I want to. If I get the need for speed bug, I wish I was back in LA where you CAN fly around and not have to watch your rear view for the cops.

Start posting dates that are good for ya'll and we'll go from there . Brian- no worries on space, I'm up in the air at the moment on everything when it comes to WCSS, might drive myself up and might not go at all, depends on $$$.

Interested in a 3rd person joining you? Gas prices been one of the reasons I haven't made definite plans on going even though I'd love to go.

Anyone down to meet up in the Tahoe area for a run? Post dates that are good for you and we'll go from there. Maybe mack it a weekend camping/ wheeling trip. At the moment I have a stock 86 GL 4X4 Wagon and hopefully by then my Brat will be up and running too.

I've got the single 2 piece radio, cd, WB and tape I'd sell ya for $50 from a 99 Outback and the 1 piece radio, cd, WB, and tape for $75 from my 98 Outback Limited. PM me.

Glad you made it home as well Bosco, good luck with everything.

^^^ That looks pretty slick, was trying to figure out what model that was, then noticed your other post.

Eastwood has a complete kit for $500, if it's just the stud welder I'd pay no more than $125 used as a new one is $200 from Eastwood.

Great idea, down side being the holes (depending on welder) or pulling too hard. Look at Eastwood tools and see about getting a nail gun and going to town with it (was my best friend in Auto Body school minus the Bulls Eye Picks:headbang: ). The hardest part will DEFINITELY be the edge around the taillight housing itself and will require a hammer and dolly for best results. Good hint though when it comes to dent removal, Last in First out. Good luck

:grin: I can see that happening and don't recommend unless one doesn't mind the above consequences. Hence I'm going to go Lincoln for my rear and still haven't figured out the front yet as unsure whether I'm going 5spdD/r or OG 4spd D/r in me Brat, my Wagon will DEFINITELY be getting a5spd with some sort of front LSD if I can find it AND a Lincoln rear:headbang: :headbang:

This is a pic of Zap's old Impreza Outback Sport lifted via Legacy Outback struts and springs. You can always get SJR's EA to EJ tranny adapter and use it to do an EJ to EA D/r out of an 86 to 88, but you will also have to swap the rear diff and figure out a tranny crossmember for the D/r if you want a low range.

Couldn't pick just one soo... Gotta say the Green Hatch would be the top though.

LOVE that pic but is it really a Subaru (didn't think they made anything like that).

Kind of interesting that they mention it CANNOT be retrofitted to older models. Kinda sucks cause I would love to have a hill holder on my 98 Outback, but being hydrolic next to impossible .

OK, and since I reset the Code Alarm and my drivers side door STILL does not unlock by itself (have to hold down to unlock ALL doors), anyone have any ideas?

Anyone know how to make the horn not beep on a 98 Factory Alarm when setting it?

scrapdaddytatum, as long as the car will pass Federal Smog Regulations, the car WILL be good to go on passing. One nice thing about Cali and the Smog Nazi's here are as long as it's a used None Cali car (one with more than 7500 miles if I remember right), that did not get the mileage coming into State (ie bought new car in NY and drove it to Cali with stops on the way) all you have to pass is Federal Smog (hence the Cali Smog sticker on Cali cars). Soo, as long as there is no Cali Smog Sticker you only have to pass Federal.

Yea, an OG Baja. Bed could a little longer but.... I do like your Brat X- cab and would love to have a full side profile shot to add to my collection.

Not 100% what you asked and I did NOT do the work, someone else here on the board did. I like your idea better but fear it would be too long and narrow.
