daeron Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It reminds me of those old folders called trapper keepers. They had them funky polygon designs on them, and dolphins in space driving school buses and stuff like that. I am with durania/OldSkool camp on this one. I had one one time that took me all year to figure out.. picture a mirror, reflecting the image of the statue of liberty, thrown on the ground and then melted... all while still reflecting (some of) the image of the statue of liberty... and that was just the focal point around which the polygons and polyhedrons were orbiting... People don't believe me about that thing!! sorry for the off-topic, but i had to sound off on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty B Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Uniqueness i like, and your brat is unique. Welcome to the board! Hear Hear, That is one cool looking car. Like many others....one of a kind. Automotive psychosis is expression too. Drools over the 3 x Hella rallye 2000's........yum Welcome.

Phizinza Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Drools over the 3 x Hella rallye 2000's........yumAlmost more valuable then the car... ahhaI was thinking of some hella's for my rollbar, but they cost a bucket load of cash.

daeron Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 so those headlights dont effect the function of the radiator, do they? thats alot of watts to stick right in front like that... I have never owned a brat or any EA81 (well I worked on one, once, eight years ago, but i was an ignorant child then) so I may be wasting breath... but it was a thought. it looks nice, to be sure.

All EA81's came stock with 2 row radiators. They are amazing cooling units. Many folks have found them to be perfectly adequate for the EJ22, etc. I'm using my Brat's stock radiator (it's a new one - I replaced it a few years back) for the EA82 that's in it right now.

riverstream Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Never had problem with overheating, not even during summertime. But i might be moving them to the rollbar , thinking of buying a winsch and fabricate a new steel bumper. We dont have so many brats in sweden not modified, standard brats are unusually to. Like my hella rallyes and yes its almost the cars value in front. Thinking of getting it little higher in front what about adjusting the original height adjustment a bit???

Phizinza Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Thinking of getting it little higher in front what about adjusting the original height adjustment a bit??? Can't go too much further then it already is (unless the front springs are sagging, which it doesn't look like yours are) because the outter CV's on Subarus are a bit weak. And if you don't have many Subaru's in your area, replacement costs go through the roof. Here I just go to the local junkyard and pull some for around $40AUD ($33USD) a piece. But theres plenty of Subies in Australia, especially Brats/Brumbys/MVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverstream Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Ok i guess i have to fabricate my own lift kit then. Thanx for the answer. Today im gonna cut away a lot of rusted metal in front to get it cleaned up behind the bumper, replacing it with tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 The lift kit is pretty easy to make (I've built one for both the later models and the earliy models/pickups) It sounds like you have the knowledge you need for the job. When I get the time I will send you some pictures of the blocks and bolts and stuff that I used. Getting the angle on the front strut lifts right is the hardest part, but I think I have a plan on paper, might scan it and send it too. PM me your email address if you want the pics.

riverstream Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 A little update in the xtra lights department, i traded my hellas for a set of opel frontera 6X15 six hole rims for my future lift and bigger wheels. Since the dark season in sweden is dark i needed som xtra lights so what to do!, after a little shopping tour these babys found there way up on the small roll cage.

riverstream Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Here is a little update on the wheel section of my subba. Ive just bought myself a set of mt tyres Technic 195R-15 and my rims are almost finished redrilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlynx Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hi where do you live in sweden? My leone turbo also needs a new paint and maybe am I going for the same paintscheme. I found mine on blocket for 1500 skr and a few weeks later my sister bought a GLX coupe turbo for the same amount of money. You can still find cheap EA82T in sweden.
