Ah, yes... isnt this Brat here in Sacramento? Saw it on Craigslist and laughed at the guys asking price of $2200. Doesnt matter if he's throwing parts in with the truck... it doesnt make the brat any more valuable... just means you dont have to run to the parts store when you end up doing the work. Still needs a caliper. The stereo install is halfed rump roast... the dash is cracked and the seat is torn. Offer him $900cash and agree to pay $1000 if he asks for it. If he wants anymore than $1000 laugh at him. -Brian

$1800 for a brat and it better be rust free. '82 is kinda old. If its rust free and runs great, i would offer $1400-1500. IF there is a spot of rust, or needs ANY WORK AT ALL... $1000 at max. -Brian

Ive never seen it. -Brian

Hum... this might suck. Im planning on leaving Monday night, will be near bend by Wednesday-ish. Hope they get things under control. -Brian

Yeah after 20 some-odd-years the output shaft likes to get stuck in the flywheel. Just lift, tug, pull, kick, jerk and pry until it pops loose. -Brian

Dunno. My RX has had a stumble and miss for the past few months. I got under the hood a couple weeks ago, and wiggled a bunch of wires around. The miss definatly sounds like spark related, so i made sure all my ignition wires were seated properly. Then checked to make sure all the intercooler plumbing was tight and leak free. After that, i removed the disty cap and rotor and cleaned them up the best I could, and she ran alittle better after that. The miss has started to come back, and it really only happens at idle. Once im past 1500rpm she comes back to life. Not sure if you have a new rotor and cap, or what condition your wires are in... but that maybe a problem. Im running 8mm Magnacores. They're great wires... i recommend them! But im thinking the RX is due for a tuneup. Once I have a hood scoop installed I wont be so worried to mess with timing. Your problem sounds like maybe vacuum related if its as intermittent as you say. I would suspect a leak somewhere in your plumbing. Are you running a BOV or BPV? -Brian

You can trust your subaru in the hands of Miles Fox. that guy knows what he's doin. -Brian

He already has a VLSD and is looking for a standard LSD. -Brian

I wouldn't suggest off-roading a turbo car. For one, that car might only have Single Range 4WD. If its the AWD model that is. Then ontop of that, the turbo motor doesnt make good power unless its under boost... and for off-roading you want all your power at low rev's. But that is a good car. The GL-10 is the top of the line for that year. Key things to check will be the CV joints... that and the motor. Make sure it doesnt overheat, and ask if it has ever overheated in the past. Overheating a EA82T will make it a paperwieght real quick. And once you do own it, do everything you can to keep it from overheating. -Brian

When i wired my stereo, i used the wire that powered my cigarette lighter as my switched 12v. Then I just ran a new uninterupted 12v from the battery to power the amp and stereo. -Brian

Thanks for the compliments guys. Definatly will be more film in the near future. Just need to get more runs in. I need to get myself a DVD burner so I can start to produce some full feature length films Definatly gonna need some more tape and batteries for the WCSS. -Brian

Got everything working and decided it was time to master another video. This is video of Jibs, Subieman, NV Zeno & I out wheelin last weekend. -Brian

Just connect a filter to each line that would usually run back to your stock air filter box. Kragen or Autozone should sell small filters that will work. I'd get a pic of my setup, but im being lazy today... im sure someone out there has one tho. -Brian

I hope you arent comparing your GL10 to this car. No comparison. -Brian

That car looks cherry from those pictures. Working A/C sais ALOT! I think $1000-$1200 is fair. I paid $1250 for my '84 Hatchback and it doesnt have A/C, or power windows/steering. I paid $1100 for a '84 Wagon in that condition but it also didnt have A/C or power windows/steering. That car is fully loaded. Looks to be in great shape. $1650 is too much, but I wouldnt kick myself if i handed over $1200. -Brian

Yeah... still working on that JB. I got the camcorder working so I could port all the video over to my computer. then I edited it, and made a video... then after I rendered the video, the finished product came out REAL dark and i dunno wtf is going on. Im about ready to set everything on fire. -Brian

Screw the pix, i wanna see this thing in person! -Brian

Cool, sundays are usually our day to do something. Everyone seems to have that day off. Maybe I can talk the NV guys to comming down here for a change so you dont have to drive as far... but, you do have a forester so im sure you driving 4 hrs will be more comfortable than us EA81 guys driving even 2 hours. -Brian

Im thinking early/mid september we should do the tahoe side. So mountainbiker, we'll make sure your aware. -Brian

Guess I should update mine... 1984 GL Hatchback 1.8 EA81 with Weber 32/36 DGEV 3/3" PK Davis Lift Kit 27x8.5R14 Kumho Venture MTs 14" Chevy Luv rims, redrilled. TWB Front bumper/guard & roof rack. Converted 3.9 LSD Rear end. -Brian

Video to come mid-week. I gotta format, re-install windows, re-install all my software, re-install the drivers and get the camcorder to work, then port video, edit video, master video... yeah. Expect something rough on wednesday and a finished product next weekend. I just got home and im BEAT! Time for bed. -Brian

I'll be there with bells on! -Brian

I dont really care. I preffer somewhere semi close to Jibs or Jeremys since my Kumho's are horribly off ballance. Dont feel like doing a ton of street driving on the M/T's. What time does everyone want to roll out. I may be leaving in the AM and bringing a friend. -Brian

Yeah Jeremy, i'll probably be leaving late and getting up there around 9-10ish. Still gotta touch base with Jibs and everything. I plan on packing my CB, its not installed yet, but doesnt take but 2 wires to get it rigged up. Would like to have Jibs installed too so we can keep in touch. We'll both have digital camcorders as well, so this should be a fun day. -Brian

Sarge, no one here will know if they fit, unless someone here has already been using them. If you plan on lifting your car later, i would just wait. Or else your going to beat the crap out of your car, cut a bunch of metal off... then later when you do install your lift, your car will look like snot. Or, just grab a sawzall... and fit 31's. Im sure it can be done. -Brian
