Any news on this?

wow 1" shorter? may be easier to just modify the extra ea71 manafold i have.has anyone built a COLD air manifold yet? like bypass the water that goes through the manifold? its a really bad setup heating up the air like that..

cool. that would be great. i just need to make sure its the one that can fit the 71. can you snap a picture? i need to look at the thread to see exactly which intake i need.

i have a weber. it needs a partial if not a full rebuild.rebuild kit included. I would like to trade for a ea-81 intake manifold (the type that can be modified to fit an ea-71) i live in Texas and its hard to find these parts. email me if your intrested danrenfroe2016@gmail.com -Daniel

BUMP!!! I have a seond transmission that i will try it on first...

WOW.

Todd, Did this ever get resolved? And did you do it your self? Mine is leaking bad too, Have to leave tranny like half full to not have it leak like crazy. -Daniel

Where can I get a new ignition cylinder for my brat?

auto zone rents out a blind hole puller that gets it out really eazy.

OK! it lives! now on to the wrx style exhaust.

Yes I have seen one of royal its pretty nice. We need to put a thread on here calling all the DFW guys again to see if there are any new ones I may stop by that guys house at Royal and leave a note or something on his windshield that is real close to where I work.

ok, used my dremmell with a diamond bit to make very small holes around the ez out, spend about 45 min messing around and got the thing to come out. then i got a cobault bit and a masonry bit from home depot, kept switching back and forth between the bits and used lots of cutting oil, about 1 hour later i have a hole that is 5/16" dia. x 1/2" deep.I guess i need to get a helicoil, I hope they work in such a shallow hole. I will try one Monday. Thanks for all the tips and motivation to attack it! I was just so frustraited and pissed!

Eric, I think I will give this a shot, also the masonry bit sounds interesting as they are very hard. I already have a extra intake manifold, but i really don't want to take out any more bolts! I have a map gas torch. I will try on Saturday. Thanks for the Tips... Daniel

Yes, That's me. Were do you live? I want to see your brat some day. There are about 5 of us in Dallas now...

yes I have noticed the flex. I will look in to it. now about my broken bolt...

OK. I Know you guys are going to beat me for this one. But I broke the lower thermostat housing bolt, then stupidly used an ez out which broke in hole. now I have a super hard steel ez out and a really stuck bolt end. :-( what should I do? Am I screwed? I am so pissed, I was thinking about just bolting back on with the top bolt only. but I bet it would leak!!! (so close , yet so far on getting the brat back running)

OK, meight as well bring this up. My Key is stuck in the ignition... been this way over a year and I drive almost everyday so i am afread to wongleflute with it. any thoughts? can the cylinder be removed with the key inside? Thanks. -Daniel

If you look at my Brat Thread there is some info on wheels. I run 14" PUGs with a cheap tires. only problemm in going bigger is the rear suspension setup. After I go solid axle in the rear wont be a problem. Also dont go to far out from the stock offset or wheel bearings will suffer. Please update the thread as I want to see how it turns out.

What does it run in the Quarter? I am curious...

Ok, I think when the pedal is up (Cluch engaged) the cable is getting bent a bit to much. I will re-adjust and try the new cable when it comes. and yes... AUTOZONE! Oh and I will lube it good this time. -Daniel

Clutch cable. I have broken two now. I do drive my brat everyday, but two clutch cables in less than 5 years is kinda crazy. I just replaced the clutch, pilot, plate, had the flywheel ground (two step). I get it all back together and then snap! another clutch cable gone. this time it broke at the top near where it attaches to the pedal. Any Ideas? -Daniel

Is this thread still alive? I could pull it for you. Todd, What yard and where? -Daniel

I like the Paint on the RX. I think I want do do this on the side of my BRAT!

I had wondered the same thing a while back, We are pretty much stuck without upgrading to a newer motor...

Blindsight, We need to get together some time. I live in Carrollton at Hebron and josey . -Daniel
