hkuspelite45@yahoo.com Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 An '86GL with under 160k From AZ with not a speck of rust or collision damage. Interior is OK with a cracked dash pad, one cracked tailight and a tiny exhaust leak. I got it for $1,500 plus I put in a new clutch & front strut mounts for $250 total. What years did the Brat have the 1600 vs 1800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Thats a nice looking Brat, very cherry indeed. I believe Subaru stopped putting 1600's in the Brat in 1984. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky92 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 NNIIICCEEE!! And what a background! If that was my shot I would blow it up and frame it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Great-looking Brat, and a great-looking photo! Any plans for modifying it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkuspelite45@yahoo.com Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 The wells look perfect but I do need to check the area behind the shock mounts that supposedly collects water. I have'nt had a chance to pull them yet but what are all the access panels in the bed for? The 2 by the wells I assume are for access to the shocks.... I belive this has the EA81-1800 motor, from what I can tell anyway. Thanks for the complements on the pic. Thats 12,000' Sandia Peak in the background, well its behind the clouds anyway.

hkuspelite45@yahoo.com Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 I was thinking about the bigger motor (EA-82) or mabey even a turbo but I need to find out what that is gonna take to do (both cost and effort). From what I understand the 82 is pretty much just drop in. I dont have inside work space right now so I was thinking of building a motor in a spare room and swaping it out. Does anybody build crate motors? Also is their a good source for rebuild components? SAMO: I dont think I will off road it with a lift, but was thinking more of a Rally look. Mabey some bigger rally style rims/tires and some brush bars/lights up front (intercooler behind it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 CCR inc. can get you a perfectly rebuilt ea81 or ea82. http://www.ccrengines.com very respected on this board. Thats a very nice color on that brat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Nice, but if you want more power, the EASY way to get it is with a weber carb and free flowing exhaust first of all. Still need more then maybe put a cam in a CCR EA81. You could swap in an EA82, but the EA81 is so bulletproof I dont see much reason to.
