  1. I also gained about 1in+ in hieght, which is no biggie for me as I'm vertically challenged:D I also used the stock GL rails, they are bolted to the seat on the inboard side and to the flat stock on the outboard side. I need to take pics, but the seats have to come again if I do:-\
  2. I agree with GD. You need to call Jason at 1 866 528 5282, he's the Parts guy at a Subaru Dealership here in the US. Tell him its for a EA82 (He actually knows what that is) and I'm pretty sure he can ship it to you. He's mentioned to me a few times that he has shipped to different countries.
  3. Where was that Brat you saw up in the Mtns? Was it Rieter Pit? And was the Brat silver with a big lift? Btw, nice Brat and welcome to the USMB:headbang:
  4. Window tint also saves the interior:brow: Easier to come by than louvers. Not quite the same coolness factor, but cooler none the less.
  5. So the Imp seats are actually narrower than the EA81 GL seats? The Legacy seats I put in my Brat were 1in wider than the EA81 GL seats, hence my use of the 2in flat stock. There wasnt enough material on the Leg seat to move it over that 1in I needed. But mine are equipped with hieght adj (drivers seat) and adj headrest:-p
  6. Did you do the install? And how are they installed. Do you like them? Not trying to be a smart rump roast, but just telling me you have Leg seats in your Brat and no other comments? Or is it to early in the morn and you havent had enough coffee yet?:-p
  7. Get ahold of mtnman38, he has a AA lift installed on his EA82 wagon. He has a different take on it.
  8. Well, in my haste to post the original thread, I mistakenly labled the seats as Impreza. They are not. I got them out of a Legacy L. And they are now installed in my Brat:headbang: I'll post some pics and more info in a few days, but the difference is astonishing. Granted, when I pulled the drivers seat out of the Brat and turned it over to pull the rails off, one of the springs fell out:rolleyes: So it definatly has seen better days. The pass seat install was a breeze. I used a 2in wide and 3/16 thick piece of stock for my adapter. Its only need on the outside rail as the width of the seat rails for the Brat are 16in wide, the Leg seat rails are 17in wide. Drill the stock to fit the holes on the Leg seat then measure over 1in and mark the holes from the Brat rails. Once drilled simply attach the rails to the seat and install. The stock goes on the outboard side of the seat. It fit perfect the first time, heh (I suprised my self there). The drivers seat is a different story. Because of the hieght adj the rails are a little bit of a hassle and totally different than the pass seat rails. For one thing, each rail on the back side has a STEEL rivet and 2 tack welds and only a bolt up front. The brackets are also 2 peice to allow for the riseing and lowering of the seat. Wider stock might have been better here as the brackets tend to get in the way of the bolts to hold the rail to the stock. I'll have to take a few pics of this for a better explanation. Both seats have plastic side covers on the bottom. The pass seat cover is wider than the drivers seat cover and needs to be trimmed because the door sill plastic interferes. Another pic here will help visualize, I do apologise for the lack of pics but it was a rainy day and I was in a hurry to get the last seat done. My measurements were correct again:clap: And the drivers seat bolted right in. I'm a very happy camper I tell ya. The Leg seats are thicker or deeper, however you want to say it. So the acutal hieght adj is all the way down for me. If I cranked it all the way up, I just might be close to the t-top.
  9. Oh, snap! You did get my last post about the mirror, right?
  10. Wow, you scored big time. You got back twice what you paid for the car, you still have the car (right?) and it should be easy to fix. Just hope your feeling better.
  11. Install in back of last cat, put a bung in tailpipe for sparkplug:grin: Anyone know what this will do?
  12. I believe the only thing different is the tranny mounts. Altho thinking about it, the TC might be different also.
  13. Thats a pretty clean Hatch, saw it when I was over there a month ago.
  14. What year was the Leg? I think it has to be 93 or older.
  15. Right now I'm just using a terry cloth pad, changing frequently when it gets nasty. I'll go back over it with a foam pad I bought from a auto body paint store. My buffer is adj and I'm turning it at about 12oo. Pics of the results to come soon.
  16. Finally started to polish/buff the RX. Got about 5hrs into it so far. Got the hood, roof and right side done. I have to go over every area twice, sometimes 3 times(hood was real bad). Using Mothers carnuba cleaner wax and I'll try something else to buff it. One thing about black, it sure shows the imperfections of the body. I'm finding dents and dings I never saw before:o
  17. Check out this thread from Snort4x4, it gives better info. http://www.snort4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33562
  18. You ought to see him in person when he talks lke that:lol: All you need to spread the flanges is a couple of vise grips and muscle. Use a soft blow hammer to get it on the strut. Might be a pain to get the holes lined up at first, but its not that bad.
  19. Found the back way up today in my Brat. Its very steep grade but its crushed rock. It was like a hiway. I went up 4mi before I had to stop and emtpy a few clips:brow: Then ran short on time and had to head back. The road to the trail is all paved, not like the upper road. I did 50mph average. Coming back down the trail I hit 50 in a few spots. I was able to make it back to Bonney Lk in 1/2hr. The only prob I see with this is the fact that its paved, which means lots of traffic. Not to mention better/easier access for the County Mounty. (Who I happened to see on the way out). So its almost a sure bet that this point of entry to Evans Crk will also be watched:mad: You wont find this on the ORV map btw, I asked a Ranger about it. He said it was very muddy and suggested I not go that route(as he looked over my shoulder to see what I was driving) I didnt say anything about it, just went uh huh, ok. Never touched 4wd and ran the steep grade in 2nd gear. Looking forward to going all the way soon.
  20. Cool, forgot yours was right after mine. A double b-day get together. I'm thinking of doing some reconoitering today, nothing heavy tho.
  21. If I'm there, its going to be a B-Day Party:headbang: Oh, wait. I quit celebrating about 15yrs ago:rolleyes: Hell yeah, I want to go. Not sure if my winch will be going yet, hopefully I wont need it.
  22. Sure, bring it down. I've done the conversion on mine, got all the tools too.
  23. Hey, its only 12:15am for me. Its still early:cool:
  24. Make sure the axle nut is tight. It calls for about 70lbs torqued, but I have used a air rachet before.
