  1. They are described as liter mugs. Perfect beer mug, heavy gauge with a strong handle.
  2. Sounds more like a poorly adjusted or worn out clutch(without hearing it). Try to adjust the clutch to see if the squeal goes away. If it doesn't it's time for a new clutch.
  3. What you want out of the motor is the first decision. You can interchange parts between solid lifter and hydraulic lifter blocks. If ytou have a solid lift brat cam you must change the cam and lifters as a set. You can add hydraulic heads to a solid motor. You will need to use the rocker assy that matches the cam. The crank is the same in both. Good luck!!
  4. Pretty cool stuff Brett, kind of tame for you guys though. The Vortex(XT) had no problems with that hill. BTW, do you have an email that you get to before your kids? I have a couple of questions for you. Ken
  5. Thanks E, I just found it too.
  6. Wow, I didn't realize the logo's linked. Great idea. Please do add Delta as well. http://www.deltacam.com/
  7. Nicky is doing a couple of things to it. It should be back up soon.
  8. Nice! Are you going to get adequate air flow for the amp in the rear cubby?
  9. Sounds like you need a Superwinch then.Anywhere from a 2500lbs on up. I have used the 2500 before and it works OK for pulling. I currently have a S4500 on my Brat and it works extremely well. Kind of big to mount to a Brat permanently though. Mine is set up on a removable mount.
  10. 15" and 390mm wil both bolt up. Tires will be extremely expensive for the 390mm wheels. As McBrat suggested communication with the seller would be mandatory. The winch depends on what you plan to use it for. What type of winch mount are you going to use?
  11. Yes they have been on EBay. A couple people I know have purchased them and like 'em.
  12. I haven't had it in the dirt or gravel yet. It sure tightened up the tarmac though. I'll get some pics soon.
  13. They are coilover shocks. And yes, they do need to be the same as stock. They support the vehicle.
  14. That works good Brian. I'll try to incorporate that into the events schedule page.
  15. This one is close.
  16. Corky, do you want Turbo 4WD or Turbo 4WD rx? I have both. Neither are brand new but both are in decent/good shape.
  17. Most do have normal bolts by now. Mine are the first I've seen and Jibs are the second I've heard of.
  18. Here's the link to his post, http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14119&highlight=solo
  19. I don't think anyone did the 4X100 but I believe some sone did a 5X5.5 swap. I think the lugs would be close to the mounting bolt pattern of the hub to rotor pattern.
  20. Ouch!! Are the bolts for the strut/knuckle threaded all the way to the bolt head or just part way? Reason I ask is that I've seen the wrong bolt(ball joint bolt) installed in the knuckle. It tightens down but doesn't get tight enough to hold the knuckle to the strut.
  21. The original bolts were a special inverted hex with a dot in the middle. You should be able to get the tool at any tool house or by buying a cheap set of bits at any tool house also. My '85 has the same bolts holding the seats in.
  22. Very nice. It will be a real looker when you get it all done.
  23. Well, I did it yesterday. It's in and done. Mine came from an '86 GL10 turbo sedan. I cut off the brackets and rewelded them to the trailing arms. I had to cut about 1 1/2" off of the ends of the sway bar. Fits nice and clean. It's tucked up out of the way just as stock would be. Handling is improved dramatically. Time to get the 14's refinished and new tires put on. I'll probably go with Zeiks or Proxes from Shwab. I think I'll go with 195/60R14's this time though.
  24. Anyone ever see a factory sway bar on an EA81 model? Anyone else ever put one on an EA81 model? I just installed a modified RX rear sway bar on my '85 Brat. It really tightens things up. I will have to get new tires to replace the 20 yr old BFG's . Gave Turbone(Rob) a ride in it tonight and it is noticably stiffer. Handles most corners with ease. Hit one corner fast enough that the front tires slipped but not the back. Definitely needs tires though.
  25. See your other post. The Loyales were a bit different.
