tsutomu Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 i love my brat to death, just wish it had a little more power. this guy at mcdonalds asked me if my car was for sale and i said "no i still have stuff to do to it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I like mine too, especially in the spring time. I hate the fact that it is slower than about every car on the road today, takes forever to warm up and syncros never want to cooperate, but I still love her.

cobcob Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 60+ miles a day in my '82, 5 days a week, the SAME people (driving their outbacks, Imprezas, Legacys, and Loyales) always wrench their necks as I jet past on the highway and NO... My El Camino DID NOT shrink when I washed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockettbrat Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yes the brat is my favorite vehicle! I really cant wait for the ej22 swap, but I love it as is. I did my first real snow trip in the brat last week in Tahoe. It dumped many feet and the brat was a champion! It chugged up the sierras at an indicated 50mph with my 27" tires. I was really hoping to find a big stuck SUV to winch out of a snow bank, but it didn't happen! My first brat was remote control when I was a kid! Finally bought a real one last year!

woundedbrat Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 My brat just keeps getting better and better with every mod I do. I tell my 7yr old he can have it when he turns 16, and if there is no more gas we'll just have to go electric. I call it my japimino ( no offense intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomRhere Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Totally enjoy all 3 of my BRATs. A gal I used to work with called the '84 I had, "a baby El Camino". I traded that one to 86subaru for the '88 XT6 I have here. The '86 is my DD, 64 mile round trip for work. Kinda beat up and rusty, but it can be fixed. Has an older solid lifter motor with a Weber sitting ontop of an EA-82 intake. Basically stock otherwise. Not fast by any means, but she goes pretty good. The '85 was purchased for the Wife. Bone stock except for the 2" front lift and 13" American Racing rims, and a rear-disc swap. Needs some TLC, but it's in great shape. The '82 sits in the garage on jackstands, undergoing some surgery, mainly for rust issues. It used to be my DD, and had an EA-82 engiine in it when I bought it. Haven't totally made up my mind as to restore or major mod... Del says "no more". But I want to own one of every year made, just 'cause....

buzzcon Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I love my Brat, wherever it is. Someday, I'll find it, be able to afford it, it'll run great, look even better and it'll be mine, all mine...but until then I'll just, sniff, sniff.....love it.........Is that working on anyone? Cause if it is, I could go on:rolleyes: ~Connie~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsboy Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 i love my brat... i cant wait to get it on the road finally Thats funny, I usually cant wait to get my brat OFF-road (sorry, I had to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thats funny, I usually cant wait to get my brat OFF-road (sorry, I had to) mine will be able to handle light off roading, but i am making it for the twisties in the hills and to take to the road course. even though i cant stand street racing, it will still be funny to suprize the ricers and a few of the "tuners" around here. needless to say, people here dont think of any old subaru as quick, let alone fast, i am hoping for fast. we will see. but either way, it will still be a beast in gravel.

Ask Mykingcrab about how quick my Brat is on the dirt roads... I was walking away from his EA82T RX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd45 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I agree. I totally love my Brat. I have only driven it 150 miles, and I have to replace the oil pump seals. I like the way it drives and looks. Whle filling the tank for the fisrt drive, there was a guy waiting for me to get back to the Brat after paying for the gas. He was hanging out his window asking where I found it, because he had been looking for one for years. Everyone wants one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
