Oh that's probably what I was thinking of then. It's a 78 so it has the narrower case. if anyone has a narrow case and a wide case intake and could measure the width you would be a life saver. Dont wanna source the wrong one if possible haha.

I bought a very weird wagon that has a custom intake on it using a pair of Solex 34PDSIT carbs. I've rebuilt the carbs and definitely have them synced up, had a buddy who is a god when it comes to multiple carb set ups help me out, and It still runs like absolute dog crap because of the terribly made intake. At this point I just want to swap back to the original intake and put a weber on it, but have no clue which intake to look for. I swear I saw somewhere on here that the dual carb intake is wider than the single carb intake, but cant find it for the life of me. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

anymore updates on this beaut?

Dude I scored both the front and back for like 60 bucks a few years back. So stoked on how it looks.

Before everyone loses their minds about me chopping this thing up, this brat is a giant heap of rust and would of been sent to a scrap yard if I didn't start this project. This is not the BRAT that is getting put on a Toyota frame, this is my parts car that I bought for 300 bucks Nookie is no where near finished, but figured I should start documenting this monstrosity. Suspension: Nothing. Reclocked torsion bar with no springs in the front, Engine: ea81 Wheels:15x10 steelies with 185/60 tires stretched across them and 2 inch wheel spacers rammed on. Body kit: VW Cabriolet big bumper. "custom" Beer Keg Fender Flares

Hey everyone, trying to find someone in the Portland area who widens steel wheels. I know it's not recommended, but am working on a second brat project that isn't going to see much power and is mainly just going for the ridiculous factor. Fully willing to sign a waiver releasing any liability to whoever widens them.

I got a deal on a front axle conversion kit with a front axle and pumpkin to boot, so it looks like this thing will be a full solid axle build. Unfortunately that's gonna keep it off the road for a couple extra days. Getting super close to having this thing be road worthy though, I'll post some more pictures after the new year

Damn it's been a while yall. Figured I would update this thing since I'm doing some actual work to the BRAT. Decided to ditch the Subaru engine and transmission part of the BRAT and go full Toyota frame, engine and tranny swap. Still a work in progress and am nowhere near done with placement or framework, but here are some pics from today.

Ej22 with a 5 speed d/r currently. I know the welded center diff on an ej22 trans isn't the best but it's very available if and when it breaks. Plus I want real suspension. I've read through that thread a few times, he's using the Toyota body as well so I feel like it would be a little bit of a different fit?

I'm not out to make boat loads of power. Basically just want something that looks rad, is functional, and is mostly subaru.

I like Subaru engines. I know them pretty well at this point, and can fix just about anything that breaks on them. I also know Toyota's but have mainly worked on their suspension in the past. Figured I could blend both worlds

So I'm toying with the idea of getting rid of my D/R 5 speed and using an EJ 5 speed with a welded diff and then adding a transfer case. I'm already in the process of throwing my BRAT on a Toyota frame (I really don't care that you think it's ugly) so it would be getting a transfer case no matter what. I feel like I would be gaining a better clutch, and also far more replacements if it ever craps the bed. I know i would be losing my ultra low gearing but I think a better range of replacements are worth the trade off, since these GL's are getting harder and harder to find. Has anyone done this before? If so How well has it been working? I searched the site and have only found people asking questions kind of pertaining to this but not fully asking or even doing it.

So please correct me if I'm wrong, but the early FWD impreza/legacys had the same spline count as the ea71 wagon. So would it basically be just a drop in and hook up scenario, besides obvious ej swap spoob (wiring, fuel lines, ect.)?

all of your picture links seem to be broken M8. Any chance you have some pics or a thread showing how you put the rear ea82 suspension in?

Give me those sweet sweet updates, Rusty.

Please make them!!
