Brat Clutch Advice
The Brat trans doesnt work with the xt6 clutch disc. The spline shaft is too small on the trans for the clutch to slide onto. Id inspect the clutch in the 65K brat, it may be perfectly fine.

Radiator
Jerry I have a radiator that is modified to have the lower outlet point down and the outlet is sized up to match the thermostat housing. I am going to be selling it too, if you want first crack at it let me know. It worked great with my 4" lift until I changed the lift design dramatically. $80 plus shipping for the radiator and I will throw in some shifter parts for your conversion kits as core parts. Has about 3000 miles on the radiator.

lowering Brat rear suspension/impreza brakes
2wd rear wagon shocks might be enough.

Have you seen..........
ShawnW replied to chef_tim's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf you are talking about the little black ones, I think quite highly of them. I cut one in half and it had a very good drainback valve, a ton of pleats and the gasket on the surface does do a good job of sealing.

A Reason To Come To Tennessee(BRAT Sold $5000)
I have a Turbo Brat. I cant wait to fix the rear end but its cherry otherwise. 104K miles, has stickers in the bed that I have never seen before telling how to stow a blown tire back there and such since it wont fit under the hood with the jack. Will be a show stopper when I am done fixing a few things for sure.

How to find the month my car was built
ShawnW replied to korrupt66's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRight but even if the tensioner is different the belt interchanges just fine. Interference or not, same belt. When they change over to the heads that look just like 2.5SOHC heads then you have a major change but the 90-98's all take the same belt whether interference or not, newer tensioner or older tensioner, its the same. The complete belt and idler kit would be different of course. The one would include a tensioner bearing and the other an entire tensioner.

Denso Oil Filters?
ShawnW replied to Bluestone's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDont hold me to this but I think thats who is making the current Subaru genuine filters. Ill try to check one at work to see if it says. It wouldnt surprise me after the purchase of shares of Subaru stock by Toyota a couple years ago?

ShawnW replied to korrupt66's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI cant think of a single difference that that one month would make. I do 3-5 Subaru timing belts a week on various yr/models.

ej22t exhaust: double walled in the long midpipe with 2nd cat?
ShawnW replied to mcbrat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXA lot of guys I have seen take the midpipe out and have a midpipe and rear section made of simply straight pipe from there. Nice and throaty that way. Get rid of that muffler and resonator in the middle. At that point who cares how long the downpipe is.

EA81 Sedans only
He is saying Ea81 sedans and I would agree they arent that common compared to wagon, brat or coupe here too.

Iowa
For me its called defensive driving and AWD. In Iowa theres a ____load of people that drive RWD cars with nearly bald tires and no weight in the rear end that actually can drive on snow and ice and then theres the people that CANT mixed in with them and the SUV's. Accidents constantly due to the inconsistancy of speed and skills. Here in Denver there is still a lot of that here too but the stuff melts almost as fast as it shows up...sun very intense at altitude. The salt is bad for the environment, kills grass and plants along the road and leaves a huge mess combined with the sand they throw down. It costs millions to do it too. Its rediculous that people are so stubborn that they wont slow down or make their vehicle be appropriate for the weather conditions where they live and drive.

Iowa
I moved to get away from the salt. True story. I got tired of having to park my Brat in the winter. Winter is my playtime and I couldnt stand seeing all the pictures of everybodys roos in the white stuff having fun and mine sitting where its safe all winter. I moved and sold my Brat 4.5 years ago and it showed up on Ebay last week...with a lot of proof of why I used to park it in the winter. Entire right rocker panel was completely gone. I had rhino lined the truck bed and steel wool and ground all rust out and then primered with rustoleum and color match paint everywhere it already rusted and it still rotted. The ones that see gravel roads on a regular basis are truly the worst. The person that bought it from me lived on a gravel road. I sold it for $2000 when it wasn't rusted out like this. It was at $1700 when the auction was pulled last I checked, probably sold locally or under the ebay table. If you have a nice brat hold onto it they are increasing in value.
