Wish I did know a reference. The EJ22 will fit into even a Gen 1 Brat, so it is (I think) the narrowest of the OHC models. The EA82 is very wide, and *will* fit in a Gen 2 car or Brat, but with only like 1/2" on either side. I've seen a pic of an EJ22 in a car, and you might ask Mudrat79 what the dimensions are, as he has one in his an EJ22 in his lifted hatch. GD

Use an EA81 - it's much narrower. Or you could use an EJ22 - also much narrower than the EA82. You picked basically the biggest engine. Anything else would be smaller. GD

Subaru got 125 HP from the Justy engine (and they destroked it to 1.0L) - why not just stick with that. Putting an EA82 in there would be nearly impossible due to the size of the car. Also - as mentioned, the justy is transverse, and it's transmission layout is completely different than any other soob, so MASSIVE custom work would be needed. I say just work with the 3 cylinder. GD

with 67k on it, and for only 850 bones, I don't see how you could go wrong. Snatch that one up just so we know where it is. I'm sure that you would have no problem getting your money back out of it. GD

The FSM might say - not sure, but it may give a number of turns lock-to-lock for the two racks. Maybe someone could tell us. GD

One thing many of us have done, is to put some wire screen over the intake for the carb, so that peices of plastic can't get in. This has the added benifit that youcan leave it in place in case you ever blow one up in the future. GD

Check the members section for his screen name - should have a way to email him from there. You know that it's a 4/3 lift right? Not a 4/4. GD

Hey - that's cool. Someone should put that in the repair manual. Sounds like a good upgrade if the ratio is tighter. GD

The power steering is easy - I'm going to do that on mine as well. I talked to Mudrat about it - he said it's basically plug and play, and since there's no electrical parts for the PS, it's REALLY easy. And as for the doors - keep em anyway - you never know when you might gert another Brat, and you could always paint them. Easy to paint a door cause it's already off the vehicle. GD

Get the whole door - easier, and you'll have an extra hatch, Brat, coupe door for that rainy day. GD

To get rid of air in the heater core, it is generally neccesary to put the car on a steep slope, facing up, then burp the radiator by taking the cap off and turning the heat on to open the flow to the heater core. Clogged heater core is definately a possiblity, they get nasty inside like a radiator does, and eventually rust through and caues a hell of a mess in the car. GD

Damn! Wish I could have gone - but I will have my tires soon. I've already got over half the money saved! By next weekend, I should be good to go. GD

I'm sure you could do without it, but if you are going to do it right, then yes, you at least need relay's to control the window motors - you don't want that much amp draw running through the switches. GD

There's a power window control unit somewhere... not sure where, but just a heads up for you. I don't know what all it does, but probably works the auto up/down for the driver door I would imagine. GD

Hehe. I'm in the 141 Support BN. up here in Portland. I'm a mechanic (52D, but I do mostly 63b stuff). I'm getting out (medical), but we'll have to chat sometime. GD

The chime thing is retarded. Especially in ford vehicles of the early to mid 90's. The ignition switches in these are very touchy, and after only a few thousand miles, you actually have to jiggle it most of the time to get the chime to come on at all. Stop car, shut off, remove key, open door..... nothing. Jiggle the lock, and she'll start chiming away if you have left the keys in it, or left the lights on. Worse than a chime actually, since you know you have one, but it doesn't work all the time. Very annoying. GD

$20 for everyting you can carry? :boohoo: I want to play too......:moon: I'm a big boy, they might have to charge me $25...... GD

I'm painting mine Xterra orange. It happens to be the subtractive opposite of the dark blue that my interior is made of. Try to pick something that will complement your interior color. GD

Hhhhmmm - must be something in the air that we don't have out here on the left coast. Sounds like fun tho - maybe you could package it and sell it or something. hehe GD

Damn! I've done it again... My mind just isn't what it was apparently. I must have remembered your name from Miles when he was up here. You guys have such strange names...... pretty cool actually. I've never met anyone with names like you guys that hang with Miles. Is it just the area of the country you live in maybe? GD

Hey - good to see you on the board feece - what are you driving these days? You remember me I'm sure :wave: GD

Nope - that radio adaptor fits just fine: (your right about the cutting tho) http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo56/84_wagon_deck That's my car BTW. I just don't think the cup holder would have enough clearance with the shifter while open - unless you bent the shifter rod backwards. GD

No damage. Except your time to put on another, and perhaps your sanity if it breaks far from home. GD

You can fix it - you just bent up some suspension parts it sounds like - should be no problem at all. You can get all that stuff at the JY for peanuts. GD

That sucks about your car - just get some JY parts, and it will be good to go again. What did you hit BTW? GD
