  2. Here are some pretty recent sales on Bring a Trailer (BaT) I watched the last auction, bidding was hot and heavy in the last minute between 2 guys We can only hope we can get this much when it comes time to sell https://bringatrailer.com/subaru/brat/?q=subaru brat
  3. Do some reading in this sub forum - https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/forum/18-subaru-retrofitting/ Theres also a couple of people that do lifts - SJR and ADR Or you could just drop it on a different frame all together
  4. Way back in 99-00 I traded in a 2nd gen wagon with less than 200k on it at a local dealer. I had already bought a few cars from them and they gave me $2500 for the trade in! I bought a 92 Mazda 2600i 4x4 used with just over 100k on it
  5. It seems like lately, the dealerships dont want your trade-ins. If you do want to trade it in, they give you well below Blue Book value. When my wife bought a new Subaru the end of last year we chose to do a private sale rather than trade in. We got about $3k for a 05 OB with around 250k on it, never would have gotten that much from the dealership
  6. I can contact oddcomp if you wish, he might make a appearance here if you have some questions
  7. I once used a XT seat as a gaming chair
  8. 2013 Crosstreks have oil consumptions issues. With that low a mileage I would assume thats the case with this one. Make sure its been addressed before buying
  9. Ah, Rockauto also has the seal! https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,1981,brat,1.8l+h4,1267657,transmission-manual,shift+shaft+seal,8808
  10. Sounds like someone installed Monroe or Gabriel air shocks. You can replace them with like or the correct shocks, Rockauto has the stock ones - https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,1981,brat,1.8l+h4,1267657,suspension,shock+absorber,7556 As for the shaft seal, you may need to remove it to get the numbers from it so it can be matched
  11. This Hatch appears abandoned or stolen, does anyone recognize it?
  12. You might want to post pics and more info
  13. How wore out is the key? See if you can get a new one cut from the dealer, as getting one cut on a machine will just copy the wore out key. Theres a bar on top of the tumbler that locks the steering wheel. The key is what makes this bar drop into the tumbler so you can turn the wheel, but if the key is worn it doesnt drop down far enough.
  14. Jack the front end so the tires are off the ground, then try and unlock it. Had this issue with my wifes 05 OB. When you park, make sure the wheels are straight with no tension on the rack
  15. I installed LED's in my wifes 05 OB, it solved the burnout issue. But because of the heat sink/fan/etc, you cant put the back cover on
  16. Eyesight shuts off when it cant see the road, it will tell you its off up on the display. The issue is with the lane assist control, so its turned off for now. I think the best time to use all of this is when your in heavy traffic and going at slower speeds. Just turn the CC on and let the car basically drive itself On a side note - Just installed front and rear dash cams, that was fun. Had it on the 05 OB and running the cable from front to rear wasnt too bad, no sunroof or airbags to deal with. Quite the hassle on this one, getting past the airbags and sunroof. Had to make sure it didnt interfere with the airbags or the Eyesight cams
  17. My wife just got a 2020 Impreza Sport and came home tonight complaining about it being unstable on wet roads. She said it was all over the lane and the Eyesight function was going on and off. So we went into town, took the freeway and I drove. I turned off the lane assist (keeps you in your lane) and didnt have any issues. I had a few instances with hydroplaning, but it wasnt bad. She commented that there was more water on the road than where we were at the time of our test drive I told her to turn off the lane assist the next time the roads got bad and see if it still does it. Anyone else have Eyesight/Lane assist ever encounter this?
  18. You need a funnel fill kit. You might be able to find one at a auto parts store, I got mine on Amazon. It lets you burp the system and is pretty fool proof

    Ohhh, did someone mention lights? The ones high on the back wall are still florescent, the rest are LED Cant have enough light when your eyes are getting old
  21. Turbone replied to czny's topic in Off Road
    Wow, why so much hate for LED's? Using them reduces the load on your electrical system and if done correctly they are not a road hazard. I have a LED light bar on my Brat and it only gets turned when needed and with no traffic coming. If it does happen, it gets turned off just like your high beams. So far the light bar has worked with no issues, going on 3yrs now. I also converted both my wifes 05 Outback and my 03 Foz to LED. The wifes car has projectors so it was a done deal. Mine I had to retrofit a set of projectors into the housings. Btw, the headlights are HID, which might also get converted to LED soon
