subyrally

tried that a few weeks ago, after the guy at the counter stopped laughing at me, he said that they ran out like two years ago, or something like that. he searched the inventory, which i had to damn near force him to, and there were no results, at least thats what he said. but i just remembered that i have a friend at another dealer that wont feed me bs about it. ill give her a call and see what she can do.

im in the same boat on this one, but from what ive seen, no one makes replacement sheet metal for these anymore . kinda wishing i had a source on floor pans cause im in the middle of patching up mine right now. next is the rockers. thats going to be fun:dead: looking at mill supply, looks like they carry the rockers for the wagons, but im not sure if they are the same as the brats. last time i checked that site, they didnt have anything but front fenders for the old school cars.

glad someone else caught that, you really need to rig up a harness bar behind the seats, yolu dont want the belts at more than a 45* downward angle, otherwise, it can make you dead in a wreck. would hate to see any one get hurt while ouot having fun. other than that though, looks like a fun rig. keep us updated on your progress.

first thing i would do is to make sure that you can title it for on road use, otherwise, you might be wasting a lot of money and energy in working on it. but onceyou know you can register it without any issues, go nuts. an ej swap might be some fun in that thing. would definatly be quick when done.

basically, thats an easy fix, the hardest part is finding the proper sze drill bit for the helicoil. hate to say it, but replacing the heads cause of a striped bolt is like raplacing the car cause a scratch in the paint.

reminds me of the people that refuse to sell a car in their driveway cause it might be worth more later, nevermind that by time they are ready to sell it, its soo rusted out that they have to pay someone to take it. like the guy with a porsche 911 turbo rotting in his driveway. wont sell it cause its going to be worth more later. i guess no one ever told them that rust isnt worth anything..

that makes me happy in the way that only a brat could:banana:

nice going man, the car looks great. keep it up!!

almost sounds like when the coolant hose for my turbo popped, might want to start there first then possibly check the turbo over.

i probably wouldnt be able to make it down anywhere till next year anyways, i still have to worry about chemo for the next three months or so. but maybe ill have my brat set up by then and ill be able to roll down in that. one could only hope, lol. keep up the good work though, i cant wait to see how everything turns out.

dude, how far are you from the blue ridge parkway? or mt airy? my grandmother lives in southern va just off of the parkway and if i ever get down that way again, i want to see your set up in person, its kinda like what i have planned for my ea82t. thats if you wouldnt mind meeting up or something. granted, it might be a whilewith my chemo schedule and such. but yeah, id really like to see what you got in person if possible. keep up the good work man.

wow, that is hot, lol. i definatly want to see this when its done.

we ended up coming back to the house, cooking out on the grill out back and ended up playing video games

wow, thats going to be nuts. cant wait to see it finished,

well, the cookout didnt get canceled, but no one showed up by about 2:30ish, so we just decided to say nuts to this and came back to my place to cook burgers and such. eh, oh well.

just a few more hours left to go, cant wait. i just hope that the weather isnt too bad witht he heat today.

hmmm, think it would be a bit of a hike from the west coast to come to the cookout. unless you are east coast and just need to update your profile.

the awd ej trans uses the same clutch disk as the 4wd ea trans. the only difference is depending on what engine you have, youll have adifferent flywheel and pressureplate. i think the disks are both a 1" X 28spline input shaft size. eh, either way, it was a lot cheaper for the clutch to go through brake a nd clutch of ashville. for the stage 2 clutch kit for my rx i paid less than the stock replacement from advance auto.

one more day, cant wait. anyone that has any questions, please let me know asap. let have fun.

nice, looks like it will be a fun project for you. when you get that restored and i finish my brat, we should get together and have a restored suby meet. lol/

here is the address for the park Ballenger Creek Park 5420 Ballenger Creek Pike Frederick, MD 21703 and here is the website for it. http://www.co.frederick.md.us/index.asp?NID=340

if its the hole i tihnk it is, its most likely the little drian holes for the where the spark plugs go in, keeps water from pooling around the top of hte plugs and such, i think

what the crap is that out of? that would be interesting in a loyale though. btw, did i mention that i love turbos?

it might be hard to find a 3.9 lsd, i think all the lsd's on the old school cars were 3.7. the legacy might have come with a 3.9 ratio, but im not sure. ive hear that you can get the 3.7 and swap out the ring and pinion with a 3.9 ring and pinion to convert it top what you want, but im not positive on that, ive never had to try it. good luck with your search. also, where is your friend going? depending on where your friend is visiting, could determine the ease of finding the parts you want. some areaas have a larger amount of older subarus than others,. good luck

ok, less than a week, cant wait to get together and try to have soem fun.
