maximumBRAT

Working.. chamois-ing some more frozen vehicles. mmmm... (driving sunfires=yay? NO) I need to get money to fund the cool projects to do on the weekends..

Oh, Brian.. nice! i'd melt if i saw that on the road.. go for the gold!

That is some awesome mad max action!!! I like it! I am assuming that's a dl, since i only know what the gl looks like (being that it only has one set of headlights) Perhaps that is not the grill belonging to that car? I like it

Good luck with the suspension, you'll have some major mods a head of you, but if you do it, godspeed, that's awesome. With the EJ swap, also cool, let me know how it goes. That turbo would be awesome!!!!! and where'd you get a lo-mile legacy turbo- i want it! '81 brat defianately doesn't have power steering, makes for good muscles. perhaps a gen-2 thing? I have NO idea.

I just want to drive an uber wagon in austria (my motherland!)

I do my RX the same proceedure as everything else.. no porblems at all so long as you replace the oil filter with a subaru one

Rammstein!! or white zombie/killswitch/megadeath/mudvayne/pantera...etc.. unless its something like detailing where you don't need (want) any adrenaline..(at work) then we slow down to some country or techno..

Thank you subaru gurus! you provide guidence for rookies <3 you all!

CRAP! i forgot to list, its the drivers side one... boo! A buddy ran into me in his ford ranger ( i don't cause accidents, thank you very much)

My buddy here up north drives a justy... just blew a rod. BAAAD.. who stocks rods for 3 cylinders? King (the dealership i work for) won't "aquire" an engine (the thing is FUBARed, trash), and Super Rupair is fresh out. Meh, i tell him he needs something that ISN'T justy inside of his... how about a 2.2? And yeah, CO is terrific for subarus..

I am a rookie.. what is your advice to fend off this addiction?

That's right, she's cracked to the point of illegality, and for anyone who doesn't know: needs to be a brat tailight, wagon, hatch, gen-2 etc won't work PLEASE PLEASE ANYONE HAVE ONE? please list price too.. or shoot me a pm Put this in here because it's a desperate situation to avoid the red cellophane masking tape trick. I don't want to talk to Jimmy at Super...

Work your way up to it! you can do it! it's really hard to take off decently in anything FT4, with my RX, it's clutch to the floor, ease into the revv- depending on condition of engine, street, and tires, i run betwix 2-3k revv. And I let the clutch out steady.. just ease with the same speed all the way through (can't follw this step in anything with a sticky clutch, but if your RX is near to being like mine, it's smooth.. not like a saab or anything, but if you let it out slowly you won't ever lurch anywhere). MAIN THING BEING: Don't go too fast in letting out, you have really valuble horsepower at the bottom of the clutch. Well, i'm sure you're doing this already, but keep practicing.. RX's are a different drag than i've ever done.

I feel your pain... ug. my yokohamas are treating me okay, though.

Sweet. All's i can do is sigh, look at my brat, and mumble.. someday.... You are (another one of) my hero(es)!

oooh, good question.. i want to know too. my axle is going...going... (just started being smellable). I have no idea, i'm thinking i need cool suspension too, now that i'll have money and fun stuff like that Buy form KING subaru!

Hey doctor, i too, at a rooky age enjoy the fruits of racing an RX. People underestimate the white box. I cruise a lot. and race a lot. so shoot me, i think it's fun. I have yet to be in an accident when i was driving (other than that, i have been hit by a drunk man on a motorcycle riding with my mother) outside some damn lady in a cavalier decimating the rear bumper of the legacy. And I ALWAYS have my '80 Snell behind my seat alond with a set of emegency coveralls.

Welcome new but not noob! glad to have such a diversified person on! i bet you like perking the baja and the brat together. i know if i see a baja in my brat, i park next to it.

Apparently you'll be fine in four if there's any kind of slip avalible for the stress on the running systems to twist back out and relieve itself. Go fast as you want w/ out over heating, just as sure as it's at least wet asphalt (tarmac in my book- hahaha)

Legacies are easier to work on and more comfortable. i rebuilt a loyale engine, kind of harder to get to anythign on them. I <3 my legacy for being a super commuter. but a loyale is fine. I relate to being a 100 % german girl, but i like cars, so i don't know what that says. I'd say legacy for a car-hater. they're too nice not to love..

i'll save ya'll asking.. on what?

HI JIM! Yes you will be at home, but no, you will never be normal after posting a few here.. Glad you can make it, we all love subaru love tales and soap operas (haha, in a non intimate sort of way..:-\ ) I want to see the loyale on 44"s (to anyone that knows; i think it's theoretically attainable, but has it happened?) Nice to have you aboard!!

"Our team just SCOOORRRED!!""

Yeah for MN! I was raised in little falls! If you want to ship parts (nation's largest independent subaru shop) let me know via PM, be glad to give you my father's former shop. FOr anything older than '99
