  1. ive been reading searching old posts i am hoping the O ring water pump thing.

     

    Ive noticed losing coolant and saw steam today .. oil looks good exhaust looks good car runs and sounds great...

    This brat is nice only 60,000 on it... i was told i need a oil pan gasket so it looks like stuff is starting to go... I think i should have this thing up dated..

    Like new hoses, belts, radiator flush what are the etc.....

    What should i have done while im having a bunch of stuff done ..timing belt????? water pump if not just the O -ring

    You guys got a list of things i should have replaced or looked at i dont want to

    start replacing some little thing every month now...

    This brat is great i want to keep it that way...

    Thank you I guess i will look for a subaru dealership thats been around and has a mechanic thats been working there for 25 years...

  2. I am a recent cancer survivor . so im not set up right now with time energy and tools... to do it myself.. EGR light came on it ddidnt seem to be driving any different , i dont drive it much 100 miles a week maybe... then ECS light came on last week .. I was also told at oil change i have a leaky oil pan gasket and need a new air cleaner i just got them from pepboys ..

    But i might as well have everything fixed and checked out .. Am i better off finding a subaru mechanic or what if anyone knows a place in the Rhode Island . Southern Massachucetts, Eastern Conn. area i could take it to would be great.. Or should i find a subaru dealer would they even know about an old brat... Thanks Its a 1985 brat with only 60,000 i got it with 52,000 on it..

    Its been great so far .. Thanks

  3. Thanks guys i want a high bar but that one looks about 2 or 3 inchs too tall to fit under my topper ..wanna be able to use both but i almost never use my topper in the summer and just put it on and take it off once a year so maybe i will just get the ready made one .. I will call about a custom size. And i want them in red.

    I saw a picture of a white in the subaru headquarters or some wear of a white

    with red trim had a cool looking spoiler for above the cab also.. Gotta go look for that picture...

    Thanks guys

  4. id like to get original or better replacement ones for my brat its coming with just lap belts that he said werent original.

    does anyone have a pic of what the originals are like?

    Are they just lap belts ?

    I probibly want a nice harness looking set up anyway.

    Anyone got suggestions for getting some nice ones for the jump seats.

    How about padding for them?

  5. Its got 150000 on it and no AC so far the one for 4950 in San Marcos with 92000 is tops on my list and the only one really. Add the shipping from cal to rhode island and its a bit much. Im not in too much of a rush. It was 55 here today and i took out my 1959 studebaker silverhawk. I only want another vehicle so i can teach my wife to drive a standard. I figure might as well make it a vehicle that is functional year round up here in new england and collectible if i dont use it much or i want to spiff it up and then decide to get rid of it . It wont depriciate. I also live in Costa Rica but im stuck here most of the time for the next 8 months. My vehicles in costa rica are 4 legged or 4x4 with manual shift. My wife just got her licence here a few months ago.

    So i got to teach her to drive a stick. Shes a good driver she wont tear it up too bad

  6. Not the orange harley looking one. I want a manual ,gen 2 , with ac, i guess i can add roll bars, brush guard . jump seats and camper shell. An get it lifted.

     

    That one in tuson for 2500 sounds ok but has 150000 on it and says the interior is rough

    I think i will be paying 4 to 10 thousand for a clean rust free low milage or really well rebuilt one.

    I just finished throat cancer treatment so im not into doing any work.

    I do the craigslist search on google but not all seem to come up.

    I am in rhode island most of the time now while im recovering.

    I will check here and ebay and try to search craigslist you guys have craigslist

    listings on here that i havent seen.

    Thank you
