Finally had enough spare change to get some new tires and have them mounted to the rims Ive been holding onto. Edrach, these may look familiar to you I went with Sumitomo HTR200's. Size 185/60R13. I knew they would be small, but didn't know they would be THAT small. Its okay, I kind of like it. And im hoping I can get it alittle lower to remove some of that fender gap. Regardless... it sure looks alot better than the rusty old wagon wheels it used to have on it.

Build pix look great, but I can't wait to see pix of this thing in action!!!!!

I know on the EA81 cars, the electric fan for the A/C only works if the A/C is running. So even tho its still there, it maynot operate unless you turn the A/C on. And since you have a clutch fan, there probably is no thermoswitch to wire the electric fan into.

Winners never quit, and Quitters never win. Way to suck Subaru! :(

Yeah... THats a justy motor, made by Suzuki :-p I guess most here would say its a Subaru motor. Anyhow... there's a chair in the garage too.

WTF!! 1.8GTS with 4 disc brakes?? WOAH

Maybe if you spent less time playing guitar hero you would have more time for building engines Just took note of all the guitar controllers you had there....

AWE MAN NO FAIR!!! I want to drive my brat around in the snow!! Maybe I'll come up and play, then see about getting that roll bar from you.

I once fit EA81 rims to a EA82 and they fit fine... ...then I replaced my brake pads and ran into all sorts of trouble. So yeah... EA82 rims will work on a EA81 just fine... but not the other way around. Unless you have no brake pads left

Make sure you have slack on the throttle cable too. I fought this problem with my weber install and realized the adapter I made for the throttle cable put too much tension on the cable and it wouldnt allow it to fully release. I would actually disconnect the throttle cable and tune the carburator... then reconnect the cable and if the idle changes create more slack.

Hehehe..... And the one that got away... damn do I miss her

It will still happen, just not this weekend. Next weekend is out for me, and the weekend after that is Xmas, with New years following that. So it looks like January will be our next chance.

Yeah for you guys at the higher elevation it'll be easier on you. Me on the other hand, not so much. Last time I went to Reno before a snowstorm, I tried to drive home the next day and there was a bus accident on I80. They detoured all the traffic to highway 20 and it took me 5 hours to get home...

I saw the weather report for this weekend and there is a storm rolling in. They say Friday & Saturday its gonna get bad, Sunday its going to be NASTY! I think it's safe to call it off right now.

He's not in Cali, just has a Cali spec car. I dunno what that is man.

For those of you who haven't done this before.... ....remove the turbo.

I have done more Axles than I care to remember, and Ive driven the pins from both sides without problem. Ive always used a 3/16 punch, beveled side or not it never gave me trouble. However, i don't live in the rust belt and im sure the guys on the east coast have a harder time than us on the west. If you are having this much trouble, I suggest a torch... however, be careful because torches can cause more damage than good if used impropperly. -Brian p.s. if you think its frusterating now, just wait until you remove the shaft from the hub and find out it took the inner bearing out with it.... then your in for a axle replacement AND bearings.

So does that mean you don't want to go Jeremy? I have my jacket and gloves ready!

I sold my old brat to a guy who lived in Arizona. He flew to Sacramento and drove it home. So I know for a fact there is at least one other.

Wow that is way out of the way. Would probably take me 2 or 3 hours to drive out there. Kinda want to make this a one day gig JB. That map is of an area I've gone wheelin in the Toyota. Great scenery for sure! Woke up this morning and had to scrape my windows, so I think camping this weekend will be out of the question

JB, do you have a map of the area?? And Greenley, i got something to give you as well... so hopefully you can make it

Just as far for you as it is for me. You have anywhere in Tahoe you'd like to meet Greenley?

The only problem with Kyburz is it is on the hwy50 side, and its quite a drive for the Reno Folk. Dave, if you are going to be in Yuba City on Sunday, driving out... i think my house is between the two and we can drive up together. I'll check my phone to see if the # is still stored.

Here is another shot of SJR's strut extensions to show just how burley they really are: I say the best lift is the one that raises the body from the ground. They all do it, and they are all pretty much the same. Unless you are jumping your car like Phiz over there, you will run into very little problems. This mod, like so many others, will require some altering and modifications to your Subaru to fit and perform propperly.

I love having an online account with NAPA Here are some part numbers for you. These are for a 1986 1600cc 2 door (which you have). Clutch Cable: ATM 0743005 Clutch Kit: ATM 0763001 Those are NAPA part numbers.
