sti-nkr Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 is too low... it's a 1979 Brat and I cant seem to find any lifts for this year. I also can't find any 14" off road tires, other than the Kumho Ecsta R700 and R800 rally tires. Can anyone help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 If you would be willing to wait for a month or so, I should have 4" Gen 1 Brat lifts ready to sell. Also, for 14" off-road tires, look for Maxxis Bighorns, Interco TSL's, or General AT2's, or if you want strictly off-road tires look at ITP Mud Lite XTR's. The Mud Lites are UTV tires, but they are radials and rated for 1000lbs at each tire. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sti-nkr Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 sooooo, I am going to go a different route with the brat... I'm going to lower it and do a slight VIP/hellaflush style with it. I'm sticking with the EA71, going to rebuild it with slightly higher compression and a valve job and a weber or modified dual carbs/ separate manifolds. much like a VW. Sooooo, does anyone know how to lower the rear? crank down the torsion bars like a chevy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yep, you just crank down the torsion bars. You know what would help beef up that EA71....? These bad boys that I just got off of ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VINTAGE-RARE-SUBARU-RACING-HEADS-EA63-EA71-EA81-BRAT_W0QQitemZ150390996263QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2304007d27 Weber carbs, a ground cam & some domed racing pistons. You'd be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti-nkr Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Why'd you tease me with those?!?! I need that! I can get everything else. And uh, how do I crank down the torsion bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I've never done it on the gen 1 models, but on the gen 2. I'm not sure if they are the same, but here's a link to a thread that talks about how to do it: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104791 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti-nkr Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 I need an exploded view of the assembly, so i can do this properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti-nkr Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Can anyone link me to a site that has a list of all the colors of each year of the Brat? I'm looking at repainting/repairing my rust and want to do an original 70's color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
