I have Kunhos on my lifted rig and they are just fine, but when they wear out or if I end up selling them, they will be replaced by Swampers, period.

I haven't had any problems with Schucks either. I know some of the people who work there and if I don't I can still generally find what I need. I will agree however that NAPA is a much better store. Unfortunatly I'm on one side of Bellevue while the only NAPA around is on the other side of town while I have two Schucks within 5 minutes of my house.

the easiest quickest way to change a clutch
carfreak85 replied to 84gl's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I wouldn't dare remove the engine on my EA81T to replace the clutch. There is just too much crap connected to the engine to make it worth my while. Plus I've done it by pulling the tranny quite a few times. Now if I had a carb'ed EA81 I would probably pull the motor. -
Need Advice On Clicking Noise

N/W Wash Offroad Run Aug 13
carfreak85 replied to Scott in Bellingham's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Oh boy, they've got a lot to learn! -
Wagonpowaa and I recently got back from a trip and while we were driving his brat we noticed what I thought was some nasty clicking from his axles. We replaced his axles but the noise is still there. Now, he did get his brakes done and was in the shop a few times to make sure the job was done correctly (the e-brake still has issues). We were wondering if anyone has had similar problems with their gen one cars. It definatly sounds like a pair of bad CVs, but it obviously isn't. It goes away when he steps on the brakes and the pads DO NOT have any silencing goo on the back. Could this pe brake noise after all? Please help us as this noise is not only loud and obnoxious, but pretty scary to hear while driving. Thanks for any advice you can give!

'82 Brat with the 3rd Eye (Cyclops) ... Rare?
carfreak85 replied to FlyB0y's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The 3rd eye is rare, but not rare enough to buy a car over. Plus they can be retrofitted to other cars like I did. -
Why doesn't the Justy deserive love?

With the hatch having a shorter wheelbase and shorter overhangs, I would definatly say hatch. Also having the bulletproof EA81 for at least a little while would be one less thing to worry about on the trails.

I'm pretty sure that in the US at least, WRXs have a 3.900 rear end.

carfreak85 replied to sparkster58's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Spark, I think this thing has fallen apart without you. Sorry about the H2 thing... -
I think your going to be a guinea pig for this one since I don't think anyone on this board has done anything like that yet.

Ea81 Weber carb improvements
carfreak85 replied to 75subie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
On my buddy's 82 brat (1800cc) and another friend's 80 brat (1600cc) we noticed a big increase in low end power. They drive the car everyday so they can give you more information. -
Convoy to WCSS-7
carfreak85 replied to sparkster58's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
So, since the show is coming up soon, and Zap just offered a discount on entry for caravans, how many people are planning on joining? Also, have we decided on specific meeting time and place? -
A beautiful day in Subaru Country!
carfreak85 replied to Qman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
God, I really want an XT6!!! Why does the closest one look so low? Conventional struts and springs? -
I will be there in my wagon with my old man and maybe the rest of my family. Might bring the lifted hatch, but it looks doubtful.

suggestion of possible spoiler for RX
carfreak85 replied to eddygordouk's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Try a WRX wing. I think that would look SICK! -
Installed MBC and now too much boost....
carfreak85 replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Did you get one of the Home Depot Edition MBCs? -
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the power window system for EA82s? Need to compair it to the wiring in my wagon.
-
That sure is a sick looking car! I wish subaru had gotten wise to the performance needs of us here in the US back in the day. Think of all the amazing cars that we could have bought!

How the heck do I put a CD player in a Brat??
carfreak85 replied to Subarutex's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hahaha, I already cut that out! I'd like to mount my gauges higher on the console, but I don't think the stereo will clear the brackets and stuff behind the radio box. -
How the heck do I put a CD player in a Brat??
carfreak85 replied to Subarutex's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
What I mean is will the CD player fit in the lower half of the slanted console or just the top? -
Rare parts in CO yards
carfreak85 replied to kingbobdole's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Would you be able to score any parts off that EA81T for me?
