@ Indrid - Nope not from the tri cities, found this one down in battle ground @ Breeke - yea i remember that beast of a subie, i was the impreza that almost got us all stuck on that last run off the day. ive seen some of his stuff on this forum and definitely will talk to him when the time comes around @ Rainman - Thanks! @ Bratsrus - So a five speed is really worth it eh? Well when that time and the cash comes around ill get a hold of you, thanks for letting me know Right now the brat is sitting at home in the garage while im over in north idaho for a week or so. When i get back ill have to get crackin and get her running and fix up a few cosmetic things. One thing i noticed is in the bed there are three side panels on each side that you can take off and theres some space in there. i might have to fab up some kind of shelve/box thing to fit in there to hold tools and straps and stuff. looks like good storage space thats out of the way and hidden. Thanks again everyone -Andy

Hello to all subie enthusiests, Im somewhat new to this site, but not new to subarus exactly. I grew up in a family that had two 80s wagons and when it was my time to move out i bought an 97 OBS and ive been subaru crazy ever since. About a month after i got the obs i went to WCSS 10 and had my first rallyx experience. By my second event (Under the wires rallyx 2008) i placed and been driving hard ever since. Rallycross has been fun and all, but ive always wanted a brat to have fun with off road. OBS's are pretty capable and ive had some fun in the cascades and outside Eburg but after going to the Hatch Patrol Xmass tree run this year i knew it was time to start looking for a brat so i could keep up with the other lifted subies. And now i have one, 1986 gl RUST FREE brat. Best $150.00 i have ever spent in my life! When i bought it i was told the alternator was shot, exhaust needed work, and clutch is getting worn. Right now i got it plugged in to see if it will start up. Already got a GM 100a alternator to swap in, plan to make my own exhaust, and ill get a clutch eventually. Hopefully i will have the brat in good running order by spring and maybe even run it in this seasons rallyx's before i get into the good mods. Future plans are to buy some yota rims and get bigger tires, build custom bumpers front and back, and go for a six inch lift and make an off road machine! Ive seen a few brats over in ellensburg so i know im not alone over there, and if there is anyone else around that ever wants to help out or needs help with anything let me know Im looking forward to get into the older EA subaurs and trying to keep up on the trails instead of the newer imprezas and trying to keep up on cruises with my very not clean and not fast obs -Andy

i was just looking at that same brat before it was taken off craigslist i would have jumped on that deal if i saw it sooner, had some great potential after fixing the head gasket

Awesome event guys, thanks to all who help put this together Hopefully next year i will have more clearance or maybe a different subie (brat?!?) here are a few pictures of myself and the small group that i went up with later that day http://picasaweb.google.com/fenix747/HatchPatrolXmassTreeRun2009?feat=directlink
