kecksnext

Where's it at Boz? Pa? I might be persuaded to keep it here if you help me part the sucker.

I'm not gonna say who but ....I'm still waiting for the shipment of unused new in box truck nut gaskets. I haven't been able to start my car for 9 months. :moon: I personally would do bidniss with anyone...what can I say I'm a suka. Lostwater great guy, PhatBrat just as well tops in my book. Met Hocrest for a minute seemed nice enough to me plus tons of other wackadoosubaroo coocoo's that have been here forever. I just wouldn't deal with that Kecksnext guy he's a real D!($).

All my sube's had Hyd lifters 81 glf 5spd, 2 85 brat's 4 spd,don't know bout the 82 Brat auto though..I just saved it from being crushed.Never needed to check.

Boz, I wish I could make it but no can do. I have 1000 excuses I could give... but this weekend won't work. :boohoo: I'm still in for the Piney's and I have off that whole week if there's anything we can do then. Why don't we plan on making a least 1 JY run that week. Looks like you got quite a crew comin' anyway....I wish I could be there.

I think this sounds like a plan. College Co-Ed's...hmmmm I smell a video. Can I bring some friends?

I think I will be able to get over there on the 18th. Need me to bring anything? "My Dad's got this wicked set of tools...I can fix it mon." "You can't fix this car Spiccoli"

She works at the uh.......Philadelphia ballet. Yea, that's it the ballet. I don't think I could post pics here though, I might get my membership revoked. I might be persuaded to put up a link though if the mods feel it's conducive(sp?) to learning about hot boxed subies. Any complaints?

Don't say it if ya don't mean it Dennis. I have the whole week off 2 fire pits 1 at the top of the property 1 at the bottom tons of free time and plenty of stupid ideas of how to get happy. If this needs to get done consider this an offer to every nut that wants to come ALL ARE WELCOME. If this truely is something that can be done let me know and then I'll tell you what my girlfriend does for a living...nudge nudge wink wink. And the geeks shall inherit the earth. I need some time to ask the ahem...other girls if they would like to have a sleep over. I guess we'll put the band back together as well. Can you say yummy yummy?!

For what it's worth Meeky, You could always stay here if you need a place. I have a house big enough for all and even some trails on 38 acres. Everyone is always welcome here.

My condolances to his family and everyone who was close to him. It's always hard and all I can offer is my deepest sympathy.

This morning I heard the same thing about emissions on car talk. I personally think those guys are worth their salt. The guy this morning had the same problem. always passed emissions, failed this time got some sh*@ in a can that didn't work so they told him point blank plugs. Easy cheap and worth a shot. I would go NGK and see what happens.

Does anyone use any kind of Radio comunication during these runs? CB or Walkie Talkie? I have both and they're comin' to the Barrens. I have a 40 ch CB mounted in the armrest and 2 wrist watch 2-way radios(very James Bond a.k.a I'm a dork) w\1 mile range. Just checking to see if I'lle the only dork there.

Thanks for the info McBrat. Is there a difference in heights other than clearance issues? Also, I see that those are reusable. I would uess that means mine is as well. What would be the best way to clean htese filters...water? I apologize if these are simple questions but I never had to deal with these. Thanks for any advice.

What type of air filter is this? It looks like the old VW dual carb setup filters. Do they have these at local auto parts shops or do I have to go to a speed shop? What would I reference as far as vehicle type. I took mine to napa and they looked at me like I had bolts growin' outta my neck.

I have a hoist we can use. I too am swapping motors. Here's the deal. I help you, you help me. Sound like a plan? BTW- I called you Wed night you were out .The wife answered, she sounded a bit miffed. Hope that wasn't a bad time. Let me know when you plan on doing this. Preferably a Saturday.

I know when I registered my Brat I could've chosen car or truck. They asked me what it was. These things haven't been around in soo long half the people in the tag place were like Subaru who what? It's like this kid I know who drives a 78 Trans Am but he has no idea who or what Smokey and the Bandit is. Can you believe that. " Junior, when I get home, I'm gonna sock your momma right in the mouth" -Jackie Gleason

My op gauge does the same thing. It usually stays @ zero but every once in awhile it will jump to 75 then back down then back up and on and on. I think mines electrical though , I don't even pay attention to it anymore.

FYI - If your insurance co. insured your Brat that has seats standard then it's legal. Every county has some Ned Beatty squeel like a pig law just to have dibs on pullin' you over. If your seats are legit w\belts no worries. Just don't forget that any cop can pull you over for anything. Yes people died (very unfortunate) while in these seats and there were suits filed and people paid dearly. You can't produce 20,000 vehicles then say oh yeah by the way ...that's illegal. Any snake ,shark,DB lawyer would be all over that. That doesn't mean you and the the 2 tripppin' buddies wavin tie dye's from the bed screamin' free Jerry would be exempt from said laws. Cut and dry...cops suk. Don't be a weenie and you got nothin' to worry about. Strap Dave and Trip into the seats when you're outta the drive thru ad all is well.

That last reply makes me think(I know, satnd back), I have an 82 Brat, although it doesn't have the 3rd eye do you think the indicator light is in the dash anyway?

Sweet !! I have off that whole week and it's my birthday. Count me in and if anyone wants to tag along lemme know.

Dude, You gotta admit that's pretty funny. Now you know. Stick around long enough and someone will post that exact same thing. We were all newbies once. There's still tons I'll learn from stuff like that. I say nice job man.

Last year for the Brat in the U.S. was 87

Looks like it's down.

Dude!! Please let me know if you sell that cooler. That thing is sweeter than tits on a surfboard.
