Welcome. This forum has given me more than i can ever give back and most fellows are nice too. Congrats on your wagon ray

the family low rider as it looks today. not much different than when i bought it in 2006. it's just a driver. Original 283, 700r4, 70's gm front disc brakes, an affordable aluminum radiator, electric fan, super smooth stock suspension and its done. ray

A 2006 impreza sedan with a manual transmission. Im working really hard at obtaining this one.

Heres the Brat

My brat needs another head gasket. I put off properly connecting my radiator fan and I paid for it. my fan was spliced in directly to a headlight and it fried a fusable link (red) causing it to shut off. There are bubbles in the radiator and coolent exiting the exaust. Im passed being pissed and just doing the needful by keeping the radiator full. Heres a pic of my favorite angle

Welcome Crispus, and congrats on your Subaru. Ray

Aye Buck, funny you should mention the Vista. You can have first shot at it when the day. I like the look of the brat with it on but I could use quicker access to the bed. This may lead to taking the seats out and all this talk of change is stressing me out. Ray

My original interior isnt looking so original from use.

My awesome bumper had to go. Hey, I had a moment. I've been driving it pretty regulary. I had a scraping noise coming from the right rear and thought it might be bearings. It turned out to be worn washers and an easy fix.

Congrats and welcome. Cant wait to see pictures ray

thanks. I prefer the stock bumper which looks pretty repairable.

Welcome. Nice looking wagon.

My alternator went out on me Monday before last and I limped home on an already weak battery. I was bummed but remembered the upgrade written here on USMB. Heres a picture of my 89 maxima alt. Also had my buddy chop up and weld me up a temporary rear bumper. Its awesome.

Thanks for starting this topic as I have an opportunity to buy a 2007 impreza as well. Im not sure on the mileage on the one I want but its getting an engine rebuild now, 5 speed, awd and the mechanic wants 7,000.00. Its blue with the gray interior.

I believe that the 91 octane helps along with fresh plugs wires cap and rotor. It chirps the tires slightly (just barely) upon heavy acceleration which it did not do before. I notice an incease in power when shifting from 2nd to 3rd which was not there prior to getting it tuned.

I did quite a bit of driving around today. Took a few christmas lights down went and looked at another brat for sale and other errands. I did a quick oil change yesterday and greased a couple of axles. Seems to have a bit more pep since It passed smog. Ive been only using full synthetic 10/30 and 91 octane.

i like the look of your brat. it looks ready to take on some trails. ray

Solid looking hatch. I cant wait to see the progress on it. Btw, this talk of all these extra parts has me feeling not so prepard. time for me to start stock piling parts too. Ray

The bigger wheels and tires look nice on your multi purpose rig. Thanks for sharing .

i would love to have a hatchback like yours. the color combo is perfect in my opinion. thanks for the updates

An I had a a topper glass installed.

10-4 on the speedo cable details. Thanks fellows. Ill go with the gl model for rear disc brake pads. Its running even better since I cleared the ecs light. I also cleared another dash light. The 4wd low was constantly on. There were two wires linked that seemed to connect to the original transmssion. Turned the idle down a bit and my CO went fro 5.00 to 0 now. I can breath now and work on the speedo and brakes since I passed smog today. Thanks USMB folks

sorry to press guys and gals. i'm trying to buy brake pads for the rear of my brat and need your help identifying the year make and model they are from. thanks in advance ray
