Honda's 86 Brat

Personally, I think that those hubcaps are... less than pretty Don't laugh at my question, but what makes that a touring wagon...? I have yet to learn this concept. I notice the top is raised, why is it like that?? Is there something else that makes it a touring wagon??? Andrew's not here currently to answer my soob questions... so I thought I'd come on here. I saw a wagon that had that raised roof today in town and I was really curious as to what it was for, I forgot to ask Andrew on the phone about it..... soooo someone wanna fill me in? Thanx

That looks REALLY pretty...!!! I might need some tips on painting somewhere down the road... hehehe

You need the ring AND the pinion, because they are a matched set. Then you have to have the bearing preload, pinion depth, etc.. set up or the gears will chew themselves apart. It is possible to put the LSD carrier in an open case, you just have to grind a little bit of the case out so that the carrier will clear. And the LSD unit wont swap into the front :-( And for some reason, even though *I* logged in, and my "brat" logged out, I'm posting as her.. weird.. (This is Andrew/Hondasucks...)

This is Caboobaroo BTW......hrmm......70's parts huh.........sounds fun to me I'm interested in buying some parts if it helps the USMB out.

Welcome to the board! I hope that you will be able to understand everyone on here... (not that I will be helping, I do not know much about cars... I'm learning!) Very nice pictures!! -Jess

Of course they did, that's so we can't go We'll just have to make it another time... Not as if it's the last meeting in subaru history!

Alright, that's it. I'm ready to trade in my keys for a subie... You guys are lucky.... I get around 415 miles (on a good fillup, if I drive nicely) to the *35* gallon tank. Darn gas hogs... STUPID FORD! Grrrr.

Hmmm... I wish I could go, but... that's when I'm having a huge birthday party for myself... Must it be the 14th or could it be another weekend? If it can only be the 14th, I think that takes hondasucks outta going, I think he's planning on coming to my shindig (or I should hope *cough cough, wink wink*) This would be my first soob event if I managed to go

Congrats on your findings... does your car still sound all beefy like when Andrew and Russ and I came out to... wherever that was... Millersburg or somewhere at that shop?? What did you end up doing to fix your car this time??

Hey, I think it looks pretty cool... I am in the artistically challenged area too... but I'd drive one based on looks and such... Way better than something I could dream up Nice job

Too bad the nearest Wally World is 45 minutes away otherwise I'd be game for one right now. How much did it cost?? The people that create these toys are geniuses... Too bad I didn't get a stroke of genius and create this toy Looks like a toy that my bf will want, too... He found a WRX at K-Mart the other day that has ....what is the word... interchangable pieces or however you want to describe it... it was like $4, cheap, but a cool little toy to tinker with

Congratulations!
