Are gen 1 and Gen 2 seatbelt designs the same or are they different at all? i have a seatbelt set from an 81 Brat that I want to transfer into my 82, and was wondering about the difference in years. Thanks.

I believe the soob it's going into is an 86 carbed JDM ea81 hatch.

Thats sweet man! I'm glad (or maybe not) to hear how you've done! It better be worth it! I think that wiring the thing could get fun, but at least you won't have to tear another fender apart to do it. I've looked at my car after that day at the yard and though to myself how nice it is to drive an older car that doesn't have wires everywhere and that everything is in plain view. Jeremy - did you get that part about the cheap hatchbacks? Anyway, sorry for my rant, I'm glad you're doin well, and have fun. Keep us updated!

Sweet! I'm definitely in!

I'm in Reno, so a drop by this area would be cool.

Well, today was fun. We did pretty good and had a blast. I think I sustained the most damage with a good hit to the driver's side fender and drivers side valance, both of which got banged up pretty good. (did ya get a pic of it Brian?) Other than that we only had one other problem when Zeno's wagon got way hot and shorted out out on a fairly steep hill after his fans stopped working. Here's a few pics of those who made it: (sorry NVBigBlue) And here's the best part: TheSubaruJunkie's RX offroad Video!! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=4731&sort=1&cat=641&page=1 I have some more of His RX that I'll get to Brian to Upload.

All right guys, 12 it is. Brians jeading up here at 9 or 10 so he'll be here by 12 at the latest. We'll meet wherever that 7-11 WAS, if its not still there. We have everyone's numbers so lets keep in touch.

I'd like to meet a little earlier as well, I have some homework to do later in the afternoon, so I want a full day of wheelin in before I have to quit. Maybe 10 or so.

Washoe city, so probably I80. Turn left at the crest of the hill before you get to the candy place, and the 7-11 is up a ways on the right.

Here's a thread to some tires: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24980 Here's a thread on tire widths: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31614 And here's what a search turned up on tire sizes: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/search.php?searchid=79255 Hope this helps.

Thats pretty sweet lookin! Good job - Keep it up!

I think the biggest you could go to is a 25 or 26" tire without much trimming of the body. You might still have to trim a little, but not as much. something along a 205/50 or close would fit. Just search around here, there's been a few topics like this before.

All right then thats the plan. What time should we meet at this 7-11?

Sounds like fun. I'm not lookin for a LOT of snow either, I've had enough of it this winter to hold me through. When and where is a good place to meet?

What did you put in the webpage part? I was gonna ask when the feedback system got started, but didn't get around to it.

Yeah I'd try to have it grip to the rain gutters. No drilling involved, and you wouldn't ruin your roof if you wanted to take the rack off.

All right cool, thanks for clearing that up! I appreciate it.

What kind of engine is it going to be mounted to? You can find D/R Trannies in most 80's subaru's including: GL Brats 81-87 4speed GL Wagons 80-89 4speed GL hatchbacks 80-89? 4speed All GL loyales up to mid 90's 5speed late 80's RX's and Xt's There are others that were made in Australia and Europe for legacies and the such, but good luck with those! Those are all I can think of right now, If I am wrong in any way please feel free to say something as well.

OH Yeah! I forgot about that. Wheelin it is! dave - Is there any cool places to wheel in the Carson area? If not, where else could we go?

OH YEAH! Now I remember why I don't rally my Brats!! Where's the offroad footage gone bad!?

Well, do we want to go "wheelin" or hit up a junkyard or anything. we should meet kinda early, as some of us are gonna be busy later in the afternoon, but other than that I don't know. Who needs stuff from Pick and Pull?

No problem.

Is everyone still up for this sunday? Where and when should we meet?

Here's the other half of the kit for ya:
