she says i blew up her 82 camaro when we were dating 15 years ago, shes wanted a new one ever since and shes been sure to not let me forget about it. i dont really remember it that way, but that doesnt matter now lol. she bought it and it made her happy. i told her that the rims hypnotized her and that if the motor was sitting in the back seat she would still want it. i tried to talk sense into her and have her put all her money in the brat, but she wouldnt go for it. she cant stand it lol. im suprised she lets me park it in the driveway and not hid around back.

they had them for 20 plus $16 shipping. but the camo one was around 80 shipped.

thats odd. i double checked it. but thank you anyway. i've talked her out of the gas guzzler anyway, shes going to look at this now.

now that i have my brat my wife wants something lol. 1fmeu18w4vla69977 ford expedition. thanks

i want to see what a dash cover looks like in a brat. anyone have one of the mossy oak ones? for $80 i wanna see one first lol... but any dash cover pic would be good to see.

i like that idea. are you just gonna put a bung in the crossover for the o2 sensor? i suppose any cheap-o muffler/glasspack will work. i havent decided if i want it loud or quiet yet lol...

thanks. i thought the o2 went in the cat. only had it a couple days, still lots of exploring to do lol...

thanks. i got me a thread there now too.

a little history of finding out what i have in the new member section: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=129642 from reading around it appears the EMPI are the axles of choice, both my boots are tore all the way around. im either going to just reboot them or buy EMPI's and save the originals and reboot them later. are these the right ones? http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sku/Subaru/Brat/EMPI_Axle/Axle_Assembly/1985/GL/4_Cyl_1-dot-8L/EMP805515.html?loc=Front%2C+Driver+And+Passenger+Side should i look somewhere else for a better price? suggestiosn? also -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- muffler shop just quoted me $700 for the whole system. seems crazy high to me. im going to take it to him this afternoon to see exactly what needs doing. what other subarus exhaust systems are the same as mine? maybe i could find something at a junkyard or something. he quoted $400 for just the front section with the cat. i found the whole thing on jc whitney for $125, and on rock auto for $160. that sounds alot more reasonable to me. on the back end he said $90 for muffler and $90 for resonator plus the pipe. member here Durania says i dont even need the cat, does it have an o2 sensor? what do i do with that if it does? i apparently violated the terms of service with photobucket, what do you guys use for hosting images? all help will be greatly appreciated. this is the first brat ive ever seen in person and i love it.

ya, i looked at amazon. i think it was $50 ish.

lol, i apparently violated photobuckets terms of service and got banned. didnt read the tos, so i probably did.

Ty. It was lagging the crap out of my PC, but odly my tablet had no problems.

all these links are dead. does anyone still have this just realized this is over 5 years old. sorry for bumping a dead thread. is there something new out there?

Do you think this axle advise for a loyale is good for my brat. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=118248

so... the important question then is.... does his dash cover fit the inner boot on both front axles is ripped all around, do i have to replace the whole axle. where would be a good place to look if i do?

Its got a sticker that says don't adjust valve clearance, that looks like it might have been gold originally.

looks like second picture. no turbo on it anywhere.

how would i tell if its turbo. its an ea81 and 1985 and according to the wiki the turbo stopped in 84. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_EA_engine "EA-81T The EA-81T is not an official engine designation from Subaru. The "T" is used informally to refer to the turbocharged version of EA-81 engines that are equipped with a turbocharger and multi port fuel injection. Additional specifications Compression Ratio: 7.7:1 Supercharging Pressure: 7 psi Valvetrain: OHV Pushrod Horsepower: 95 bhp (71 kW; 96 PS) at 4,200 rpm (US) Torque: 123 lb·ft (167 N·m) at 2,800 rpm (US) Found on 1983-1984 Subaru Leone 1983-1984 Subaru BRAT"

Its automatic. The original owners warranty book calls it a gl. And all the registrations call it a bgl. Here's the dash.

says gl on emblem on tailgate.

where can i find a dash cover?

Back seats were just held down with a single lag nut each. I'm going to have to fix that. Old radio picks up all the radio stations, compared to my 02 ranger that only picks up one. Exaust/ leak, and the brush guardit came with is going to need some modifications to fit. Just spent about 3 hours cleaning it out.

1985 I think. Starts right up, 152,000 miles. I love it.
