Tire Clearance on Gen. 1 Brat
There are no pre-fabbed lifts for any gen one car. Also, the gen ones rear control arm comes very close to the rear wheel/tire combo. I don't know if the 14" pugs will fit with stock pug tire size on there, but I guess you'll just have to test it out.

vote for best spark plugs
carfreak85 replied to bishop087's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNGK hands down. The FSM calls for them and subes just seem to run better on them than anything else. We changed the champions out of Wagonpowaa's brat and it ran better. Took the Boschs out of my T-wagon and it ran better. Replaced whatever was in Lepetitprince's brat and it passed emissions.

ea71 engine improvement
If your car has a carb, then you can put on a weber or SPFI conversion. I dont know if subaru sold any RXs where you live \, but if they did, then you could grab the body kit off one of those.

Rally Car Pics....as promised...
Any interior shots coming in the near future?

So...it CAN be done...
Great job! But like always in autox, it is the driver who wins the race, not the car. And by this I mean that you are an amazing driver! Imagine what you could do in an STi!!!

Found 2 gen 1 Brats
Hey Subieguy, could I score that license plate frame off that blue brat? Let me know what you want for it.

Brat & XT6 CarbonFiber Hoods
AMEN! Those flairs wouldn't be bad but what I picture is more like WRX or Mitsu Starion fender flairs. For the front fenders it would be cool if the flairs were intigrated into the fender and the rears could be rivited or blended into the existing fenders.

So does it look better now...?
Looks great! I really like that red on gold combo, I wonder why? Keep me in mind if you decide to change the wheels!!!

Worst Subaru pics......
I have no clue. I wanted to grab the tranny, but my old man was against it.

'83 4x4 Wagon Spotted FS Near Seattle (Not Mine)
Did you notice the blue XT behind it?

Brat & XT6 CarbonFiber Hoods
Don't forget about us EA81 guys! If you can make a hood with all the same options as the EA82 guys are talking about, that would be killer!

Brat & XT6 CarbonFiber Hoods
Id pay $200-250 for an OEM style hood, $300 for one with provisions for hod scoops and $200 for flaired front fenders and bolt on flairs for the rear of my EA81 wagon.

Brat & XT6 CarbonFiber Hoods
I'd be interested in the CF brat hood, or even FG. Can you give us a rough estimate of cost for both these options?

Quattro San lives! (Updated as of 11/2/2004)
Its been a long time since this has been updated, so I figure I'll drop some news. QS's original engine has been removed and is about to be rebuilt. The spare engine that we have (The one with roller rockers) is being rebuilt too. Unfortunatly, I've been temporarily bumped from this project, but I'll do my best to make sure the guys working on the engines do a good job.

Worst Subaru pics......
This car was abandoned in the Central parking lot at the Summit at Snoqualmie. Engine was gone, tranny was still there. The rear glass was busted out and some other stuff was missing.

83 GL Turbo Wagon - Leaking coolant
There were issues with the turbos in 83. In 84 the factory started authorizing a water cooling package be installed on all EA81Ts that were sold or whose owners brought them in. My 84 turbo is watercooled.

The exact age of a car???
Sticker under the hood tells what the car was sold as and the little metal plackard in the driver's door jam is the actual birthday, IIRC.

snorkle idea....
How would you route the tube through the radiator?

The car Subaru never built... but should have.
Sedans are stiffer.

Had a vision from a dream.
My vote is no. Keep RXs for what they were intended for, rally and street.

Advice: taller struts for OBS ?
WRX struts and springs lower a Forester by about 2 inches front and rear and the OBS struts are only .5"- 1" taller than the WRX package, so go with Forester springs and struts.

Adjustable Timing Pulleys… who might want some?
I agree with the idea of a $50 core. $150 does not scare me off personally, considering what other aftermarket adjustable cam gears run. Would it cost any more when you start making them with aluminum hubs?

Adjustable Timing Pulleys… who might want some?
Very hot! What do you think a set of these will run?
