Thanks bro but I'm good. My buddy and I went to look at a 78 Brat yesterday and then he put a deposit down on it. Little bit of rust repair to be made, needs new motor, fix a few body areas, and just clean up everything else. Without the motor I talked the guy down from $750 to $650. My buddy wants me to do a full rotisserie restoration on it and turn it into a driver and show car. Baja yellow for the body and either silver tone metallic or black for the Brat decal but painted on instead of a sticker. He wants to keep the wheels original too but do disc brake conversion so the 6 lug conversion is out the window for now.;)

Ran across this and figured I would post it up although I'm not sure if it has ever been posted up. It contains rod and main journal diameters, valve size and clearance, etc. Has all the technical specs you could ever want. http://www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/subaru/engine-specs.htm

I looked it up on Automotive Repair Reference Center, which is a knock off of Mitchell and Alldata but is not as thorough, and saw how it all went together.

Actually its only about $20 at Oreilly Auto Parts.

Oh ok, I gotcha. I'll look it up on Mitchell on Monday when I get back to school.

Any of the top hats, both front and rear, for a 93-01 Impreza will work on a 96-99 Legacy and the 98-99 Forester. Heres a fitment chart for the fronts in case you want more clarification. Hope this helps. Since I have a 97 BG I know a lot of what parts fit what in this generation. Front - http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/MSM0/FM1107.oap?pt=02953&ppt=C0035 Rear - http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/MSM0/FM1258.oap?pt=02953&ppt=C0035 (This just shows for the right rear but left is the same for fitment)

I think I know what you are talking about but since I ain't looked at a BRAT before I'm a bit confused and not sure how its possible. Do you have a pic that you can take to show me?

I noticed no one asked if yall redrill the brake rotors or use a different set of brake rotors. Is there a 6 lug brake rotor that is the perfect fit or do we have to drill the brake rotors?

My buddy is going to take me up to check out a 78 BRAT at a salvage yard on Wednesday to see if I think its worth fixing up. If it is, he plans to get it and I was wondering what all I need for the rear disc conversion for it. Also need to know where I can get parts for it. I'm going to be the mechanic on this project while he pays me for working on it.

thanks but I'd rather do it with coilovers so that I have the strength and stability and travel. Not to mention they can be rebuilt.

I don't want to have to deal with struts anymore. I've blown perches and valves in the rear and Bilstein coilovers would suit me better and last longer. Not to mention the plus side that they are sexy.

They don't make subaru stuff anymore. I called them before and they stopped making them because they have way too many orders for guns.

Bump

The EA82 won't be able to handle the amount of trque I will be putting thru it. Thats why I'm gonna go with a 97-98 JDM WRX 4.444 5MT transmission.

Anyone?
