Buying an 83-84 GL wagon
I kinda find it funny you are complaning about spending 50 bucks for a running semi driveing car. I would of asked for 100 because thats what the scrap guys get. `

The rust keeps spredding. Ive never seen it move this fast, i had done some light prep work before winter to finish it off this summer and man it looks like i hardly touched the thing.

SPFI or weber???
Having worked on carbed vehicles and Fuel Injected ones i would say that carbed is simpler but you cant bet the ease of FI. Ive heard lots of problems from these carbs for subarus not being jetted or adjusted right. SPFI is kinda plug and play. Sure youve got the added hastle of ecu and whatnot. Butt they seem to run better and you can get verticle offroad and not have the bowl flood.

Post pictures of your EJ swap
One of the few things holding me back from this is the wireing. Man looks like a rats nest.

Documented: The 1970 FF-1 Project car...
If i were you i would definately go with the 15s. I do like how those pugs look on that butt i can see the offset being a problem. If you were to widen both front and rear wheel wells again, how would that look. Would the front stick out further then the front. With those 15inch weels, wide wells, and a low stance that would look sick. Buy what year and model is that white subaru with the 15inch pugs anyways.

'78 Brat. Pics after a bit of cleaning....
I was in the neighborhood yesterday so i thought id stop buy and see said brat. I knocked but you werent home so i took a quick peek then took off. Ive never seen one up close before, its alot neater then i thought. Looks pretty clean, though shell need a fender. Would look good with a 3 inch or so lift and your old brat ss. Paint the wheels black though.

Need BIG HELP solving cold weather starting problem
Id tend to stick to skips advise. Check that out and let us know. Also you might want to think about a block heater since i dont think winters are going to get any easier. Talk to subymech85 about them.

Need BIG HELP solving cold weather starting problem
Did you let the gas sit in there all summer or did you run it. Possibly you might have some varnishing but i dont knw if that woudl happen from 1 year of sitting. When i had a car in storage (backyard:grin:) i started it once a month for 4 months and let it run 20 minutes each time. Was always good to me.
