Had to goto the yard today for a few USMB members, and I thought i'd get some new tires for the Brat. They happend to come mounted on a set of 15" Pug Alloys. The tires are 205/60R15 Pirelli P600's. Probably have a few hundred/thousand miles left on them.

Brian, Looks good man. You gonna lift it now?

NNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEE

 

Im adding that to my collection of pics... My favorite color Brat

 

Joe

Looks like you got the caps, too..nice score.

Great find. Let me know if you need to trim fenders.

are you able to use those wheels without a lift or modification?

sweet! looks good.

what Hardcoresoob asked and do they rub anywere?

Looks good!

They only rub when i turn real tight, or if I hit a bump. The rear does not rub at all, the front does (only while turning). My front end is lowered all the way tho, i will need to raise it a bit.

 

NO! The brat will not be lifted. The brat is the street-rig, my wagon is my off-road rig.

 

Dave, i got 2 out of the 4 caps. The caps are the exact same caps that the 14" pugs have on my wagon. So i will take all 4 caps from the wagon, use 2 on the brat and have a couple for spares.

 

Hardcore. That Brat is unlifted. The rear struts are lowered all the way, so yes.... there is no problem running them on an unlifted Brat.

 

 

They are alittle unballanced, but i can already feel a MAJOR difference in cornering. There is almost no understear (keyword... ALMOST). As soon as I get them ballanced and get 2 more pug lug nuts, i will be able to REALLY test them out.

I can keep an eye out for the caps and lugnuts if I decide to buzz by the yard real quick, might stumble on another cargo cover.

lol... im not even using the Cover you gave me before. Was thinking of auctioning it on eBay and letting the proceeds going to the USMB fund.

 

I dont need caps either, but if you find some.... by all means grab them for me. And also the lugs. I know more will find they're way into the yard.

 

I also want to make a Carson City run real soon. So i'll keep you posted. Looks like we have a growing Nevada group.

damn Brian, thats pimptastic lookin. I was thinking about gettin a set of pugs like that for my wagon but I dunno yet. I gotta lower it first and see how much room I've got:headbang:

WOW Brian your Brat sure is a pretty little thing.... I must have been sleeping here on the board I didnt even know you got yourself a Brat.... LOL Question.... whos hatch is that in the back ground of your pic????? Vicky

i cant help but peep the 83 wagon there in the background. what brat? i see a wagon! it looks just like mine used to. and i want it back:boohoo:

Lookin good Brian!

 

Sell the Tacoma SR5, I looks out of place?

 

Use the money to buy an additional fleet of Subs! (I'd suggest collection one of each!):bday:

 

Glenn,

82 Hatch, ....well it used to be......:temper:

01 Forester, .....wants to be an 02......

That SR5 is my neigbors, we share a driveway (duplex).

 

Vicky... LOL! You must have been sleeping. Ive had the brat for like 6 months now There is no hatch in the background. The grey sube is a 1989 GL10 Turbo Touring Wagon, belongs to my roomate and it has a blown head gasket.

Fox, its a 1984 GL Wagon, you were close, but I dont remember you having one that looked like it.

 

Thanks guys for the compliments...the brat needs a wash, should have clean pix tonight.

 

-Brian

Oppppppssssss!!!!!:eh: I may now get barred from subbie land......:boohoo: the one I was talking about is the one with the tire on the roof.... Now that I look at it closer I can see its not a hatch..... Im in trouble now huh... LOL and dosnt a bear sleep for 6 months???? LOL Sorry Brain... but your Brat is still COOL!!!!!! Vicky hmmmm do monkeys hybernaite????

its ok Vicky, i'll let it slide... but just this once.

 

-Brian

 

 

oh, and P.S. you spelled my name wrong hahahah Thanks for the compliment tho.

Man am I batting 1 in a million today???? Or what??? Sometimes my fingers move faster then my brain... LOL at least I called you brain..... Vicky

Looks good, Bri.

 

Those are my favorite pug alloys. I was told that 205/55/15 was the largest size you could go with no mods, but I guess not.

 

I got those two pug lug nuts for ya BTW...

I'll have to make a trip down to Holister now. The only problem is... what do I bring? The Brat or the Wagon?

 

-Brian

take the Brat, take the Brat....and then you can pimp it up here and visit all of us again:banana:

Yeah, my next trip to OR will be in the Brat. But Holister has a REAL GREAT off-road park ive been wanting to visit.

 

-Brian

Bring the Grey poupon Wagon !!

I remember days ago when you were rollin that thing stock...

The BRAT looks clean, but i'm into checkin out the rig, vato...

 

We might even be able to get shannonsf and rallyruss down and do a little and a little bbq'in, and whole lotta soob snarchnuffsky. <------:cornfuzz:

 

 

I'm hopin the day comes, when we can get a strong head count of soobs to come into the california regions, cuz places like hollister hills rule. Not many people in california are up on the old school soob thing at all..

 

Anyway..let me know when the next time you can come down, and ill see if thats compatible with my schedule..

 

weekends are better, if not tuesdays and thursday can work, sometimes...damn incosistent work schedule.:madder:
