On the wire diagram, it says the speed wire is yellow/red strip, on the round black multi terminal, if you would like I can post the wire diagram. ( I am guessing it's the black multi terminal, cause it's the only yellow/red wire.

Anyone know if any of these wheels can be modded a little to work in my brat, don't really understand their measuring diagram in the rim pages.

I think I posted this in the wrong area and 3 times, so I'm reporting here..
Mostly I want to check to see if I'm doing my swap right, and I need some clarification on a few wires, I know this might be a bit redundant but I haven't had any luck finding it online.. So..
I followed numbchux's guide the best I could, this is what I have..
86 subaru brat, ej22 engine and keeping the brat manual transmission, harness was done by SJR.
Also got a complete wire diagram from a vender online.
Ok, I have the speed, tach, oil pressure, coolant temp, going to the dash display, I have the "hot at all times" going to the battery with a 15 amp fuse on it.
Now the things I don't understand,
1. Starter wire, the ecu has a 18 gauge, and the starter wire from the brat side is a 10, is it ok to splice them together?
2. I can't find the check engine light wire, the wire diagram says its blue/red, with a black/white (ground?)
But I can't find a blue/red wire on either of the round plug terminals going to the display.
3.i have a few wires labeled "hot fused" should I also have these on the wire coming from the battery, is the fuse size the same?
4. One for "hot run and start" I just don't know where to put this...
I think I have a handle on everything else, I didn't dismantle the car, but bought it in boxes, unlabeled and unorganized, so guessing where parts go, and having parts that I have no idea where they came from has been a challenge, but I thing this Brat is getting close to being driven.

I had a 78 dl wagon in the mid 90s, 4 bald tiers, in one of the worst snow storms in 20 years. The only cars on the road were me and the cops. I drove fine without any problems. But was almost hit by several cops. Which would of been back cause I was homeless with no insurance, I loved my "boos of doom".

I was looking thru the web on a unrelated topic, and saw someone posting that 79 to 84 was a ea1, and 85 and up was a ea2.
It seems cars more compatible with mine are later, or 85 and up, so how is mine a ea1? Also in my specs books, they tend to split between 84 and earlier , or 85 and later.
So... Ea2 then?
-
Good idea
-
-
The one on the left is a Justy, the one on the right is a brat.
-
I may have found a right trailing arm, but it's for a justy 2wd, I was reading in the Haynes book that they are similar, their print pictures seems similar as well, any one know if it is compatible with the brat.
-
Seems they have many different names, online at Subaru sites they were called trailing arm ( right, left ) here in this manual ( Chilton ) it's called inner control arm, and Haynes repair manual called it the inner suspension arm.
But both my left and right had rust holes in them, and I was going to weld them to patch the holes, but I probed around a bit and found them completely rusted out internally.
So I bought a left ( driver) side trailing- inner suspension arm- inner control arm, but still need to replace the right (passenger) side.
-
Ok, thanks

86 brat, rear trailing arm.
-
I bought a 4" lift kit from SJR, and I wanted to make sure I have the right one ( thought it's a little late cause I already bought the kit ). Is a 86 brat a ea1 or ea2, also it seems like the leading rod bracket should be "lifted" along with everything else.
Thanks in advanced.
-
If I buy 2 left ( driver side ) trailing arms, can it put one on the right side ( passenger side ). I have been looking for a right side trailing arm, but they stopped making them. So I'm wondering if I can put a left on it, cause it seems to be mirrored. And can't really see mush of a difference between the two.
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Or if anyone knows where one might be hiding....
Thanks ahead of time.

Tanks for the ej22 info, I was looking at several legacy models today, but didn't want to take one until I was sure.
-
Anyone know what size the rear differential support bushing is, mine is fried and will need to be replaced.

Ok been following this forum for a while, but I finally need some tech help.
1st, I bought both rear break calipers for a... 85 - 91 subaru brat, dl, gl or a 90 - 91 loyale, or 88 - 91 TX6.
First I can't find a mounting plate for the rear calipers, any sites or other compatibility options would be helpful.
2nd, can I use any pre-2000 legacy motor wire harness, say from 93 to 99, to do the ej22 upgrade?
If my questions are redundant, I apologize ahead of time.
