Celebrating Subaru's 55th bday in DR....pics an cool stuff for my Subies.

Side markers made from clear acrylic?......to the drawing board!!

I can't see the pics!!!, what's this!!!, booooo....(throwing popcorn)

You got two EA81 sedans!!!.....that blue one looks sweet!!!!. That engine sure looks clean.

Of course.....like a runner breathing thru a straw.

Ahhh, that's a beauty!!!

Took the wiper arms and the back-side moldings of the Impreza out, sanded and painted'em black. Good as new

Welcome!!!!!....we got ourselves another proyect?

:o :o :burnout:

:slobber: :slobber: :slobber: ....toys!!!

Now I'm interested......can you provide a link or description of the PCD adapter plates you purchased for the Brat? Thanks

[ Edit: your original build thread is freakin' awesome! I don't know why I missed that diagram in it.... Oh well ] Indeed.....still learning from that thread.

Hi, this seems very interesting. I don't have a strait answer for your question, at least based on my own experience.....my 79 Brat has always used 13". Still, I believe that as long as all the tires, specially the front ones don't rub the fenders while cornering nor falling into a pothole, you should be ok. But, please what are you planning to do with this truck: keep it stock, low riding, off road?

So, no imbalance and no rubbing?

Nice roads to drive, cruise and drift....

Yeah

1 gen Brats are divided in two: GL and DL. All body parts are the same EXCEPT the front grill (either 2 or 4 headlights) and the body part that supports the grill and front bumper right in front of the radiator.

....

When I got all 4 shocks for my 79 gl Brat, i used this number for the front cartridges: G44730 and this one for the rear shocks: 82018.

Good to know.....so, what's the normal procedure for "breaking" an overhauled EA71. You got info from a service manual???

In the end, what happened?

What type of engine oil you're using?

Ok....check this threats: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/90029-ea71-oil-prime/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AirSoob/message/1301 If you're using a check gauge make sure there're no bubbles, oil relief valve (my personal choice) and the oil (synth or mineral?).

What symptoms (what you see and what you hear) are indicators of low oil pressure at idle?

Sound like the oil relief valve is stuck.
