Great pictures!

I really like the touring ea81 wagon. Those are pretty rare in the states.

take them apart and check the wiring?

 

No... Hes saying that the dash has a knob that adjusts the light level on it. (dimmer,brighter). Check there first.

Perfourmance

 

I can definately see those on there.

 

We use to have 2, one on 28's and another on 31's... I will see if I can did up some pictures...

 

That would be great if you could find them.

 

 

 

Suck on that, hellaflush-ers.

Ever seen a lowrider brat?

 

That was the inspiration to my scale brat. (I even have IFS and solid axle rear too)

 

 

Nice (Tamiya?)

If you are PETA or Squeamish, keep on scrolling past this post. 

Hunter's vehicle of choice.

 

not trying to be an rump roast or anything but the first gen brat was made from 78 to 81 then they switched to the second gen brat

 

How is that any different from what I said??

Some more cool Brats

Rally Brat... Check out the 5-Lug...


Clean Turbo Brat w/what appear to be Enkei's


(Formerly) McBrat 's Brat... Check the 14" Mags.


Another clean lifted Brat



'85 brat on pugs (yes this is the biggest pic I could find)

 

If anyone has a larger picture, don't be shy.

Cool brat that belongs/belonged to someone on this board.

 

The "My Name is Earl" Brat

I don't have any real "tips & tricks" but I documented my engine build with pictures. I just followed the Haynes manual for Subaru 1980-1989. I never added them to my brat build thread, so I was planning on putting them there.

Some more hot hatches

^^Notice the Signature Open-Fuel-Filler-Door-Under-Hard-Left-Turn... Early-Active-Downforce/Ventilation in Action.
 

 

Pooparu 's awesome '82 hatch:

In the movie "Cannonball Run" Jackie Chan races in an early EA81 body hatch.

Here are some more Brat R/Cs I found hiding in my hardrive





^^Food for Thought... Extended Cab Brat!! 

The "Spoiled Brat"

Ok, so this one is an RC car. But a really awesome one.
Tamiya Brat body
Imagine a real Brat with this setup.








McBrat 's Brat is not too far off from this.

its running nissan rearend (350z i think) and 13b mazda motor

 

Blasphemy! lol

He could have done an EJ swap... would have been much cooler.

But his ride is his own, I still think its pretty cool.

I put in the new cap & rotor today. Was n.o.s. from the dealer.
 

 

That lifted EA81 is badass.

Or does it have an EA71?... since it has the '80-'81 front.

I'll share with you the pictures of Ronald Reagan's Brat he used to get around his ranch.

 

It seems weird that they would make a car you can shift into 4 wheel drive on the fly and then have to find gravel to properly get it back into front wheel drive. Just me. Thanks for all of your help!

 

 

They designed the 4wd for slippery conditions or for when a sudden need of traction is required (such as going up a steep hill). Prolonged 4wd use on non slippery surfaces is bad. If you use it to just get up a hill and then deactivate it (both engaging and de-engaging going straight) its fine. If you use it in snowy or muddy or gravel conditions, its fine. As long as you don't use the 4wd in times that you don't really need it, it will remain in good condition.
