Thought you fellas might like to see what a V8 does for a first gen brat. This is a street legal Brat fully DOT less the slicks.

 

8 piston BRAT ftw.

Here are a couple more videos. This is the first trip to the track to make suspension adjustments while running a very detuned 500hp. It generated a lot of interest seeing a licensed street legal truck with mufflers beating up on the big dogs with big slicks and open headers :banana: FYI: the engine noise you hear in the vid's is coming from the other cars. The Brat is very quiet.

 

 

I think he's got a set of B&R reproduction brat stripes on there.

That's a pretty cool rig. Some people will chastise such behavior, calling it disrespectful to the Subaru name or some babble like that, but...I think it's pretty cool - mostly because it's a pretty unique idea for a drag car.

 

Party on, dudes.

Hey, anyone know where I can find a clean rust free and straight rear bumber and the plastic inner door handle bucket for the door panels? Heading back out to the track this weekend to add a little power now that the suspension is set up. Looking for mid 8 sec timeslips :) Here's another video you fells might like.
