Haha this dude lives in the same town as my inlaws! I saw it one day in the parking lot of the grocery store while I was going in, but was gone by the time I came out. I was VERY curious about it and wanted to ask him. I believe it was on a chevy silverado.

Seems like kind of a dumb thing to ask but how confident are you in your battery and it's connections? On my 92' Loyale the battery kept dying until I took the battery out and put brand new terminals on the positive and negative. When I had it out I also put it on the slow charger to get it up to 100% and haven't had a problem since. Figured I'd throw my 2 cents in. Happy hunting!

Haha keep dreaming home boy. No I'm talking the beat up parts car sitting out there with a great 5 speed D/R. Heck you could even buy that whole car and convert your EA81 to fuel injected with the stuff on it. That's an idea as well, I will probably end up selling the Brat after I get it running and driving good so I can focus more on my loyale...and also to finance stuff like a rebuilt motor. I put the brat up on jack stands today to check out the tranny and come to find out, it has no oil in it. So I'm going to put some oil in it and see what happens. That would be alot easier then removal and replace.

You are smarter than I, friend haha. Can't wait to see the final product!

Nicely done! The only thing I can suggest doing and wish I would've done is get an old six wheel like the Toyota one you have and after you grind the back side of the hubs so the studs sit flat, mount the hub onto the wheel and put the studs in with a nut tightened down so that the stud is straight through the hole when you weld the back side. I failed to do this and had to knock them around a little bit which sucked.

Just goes to show you how bulletproof these engines are haha

Nicely done! Bummer that the links just go to Ebay and Craigslist links, it would be cool if they linked to pictires of the cars themselves.

Not bad for $38 worth of material.

Finished it all up after work! I bolted it straight through the tube and the cross bars using 4" stainless eye bolts and nylon nuts. Then I cut 3" off the ends of the cross bars with my band saw. Just need some cross bar end caps now. This rack project is something I've had in my garage since summer. Feels good to get it done, now to build a new from bumper including a skid plate

That...is...beautiful. Great job dude. This is pretty much what I envision when I think of the perfect second gen brat. I bet that EJ22 makes it alot of fun to drive to, right? Hey machthree take note!
-
Ah good to know, thanks RD!
-
Yeah, that does sound easier. Hey Gloyale where do you get the 7/16 exhaust stud and nut from, and what length do you use?
-
Screw it, let it rip then!

Just need a drill, the helicoil set was kind of expensive though, like $50-$70 but so soo worth it. I got mine from Napa.
-
What Dave said, it would be wise to get a good helicoil set just to have if you own a subaru haha. I had never heard of helicoils till I owned a subaru! They are really easy to do, you will have to drill out the old hole and re tap it for the helicoil but it's aluminum and real easy to do.

Wow, that's amazing you survived that wreck. I'm assuming you were wearing your seat belt? What car was the drunk driver driving that hit you?
-
Crappy, you should've titled it "Hit and tried to run" though haha. Glad you caught him and at least your car stopped him from plowing into the house!

My headlights wouldn't turn on, the blinkers wouldn't work and the marker lights were intermittent. I took all of the fuses out and used a rubrite file to clean the contacts where the fuses fit into and fixed all of those problems. Now if I could just swap trannys with the parts car then I'd be set.
