bheinen74 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 delifted brat completion, shifter slop fixed, yet again...this time slotted the shifter that slides over trans shaft. prior fix was to thread a bolt thru where the roll pins were that was 4 years agi....... this time, slotted one side only, squeezed, welded after slot squeeze. threaded bolt back thru.. i bet I have the tightest shifter in all the world now for any brat, would bet money on this claim.

bheinen74 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 The other day renewed my leather outback limited seats in the BRAT using the remaining Leatherique product i had from when i had the SVX. Seats are again like new.....thinking of waxing before the fall cold sets in later in the fall. Started the Legacy SS in the garage, idled it for like 15 minutes while the 12v compressor aired up the low front tires, also ran AC to lubricate the seals and such, wow it was cold AC, too bad that is my winter car with nice Nokian snows. Need to read the CEL code it was showing.....when parked it no codes in spring, so that is a new one. looked at the 84 BRAT with ej22, I still have not tried to attempt to start it after i purchased it over a month ago. Bid on a few auction cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Cleaned the air filter and vacuumed out the PandaWagon after the WCSS road trip, still needs a bath on the outside, but monsoon season is still alive so, it seemed silly to wash the car just to get rained on later in the day.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I Like your Subies Tom, They Look Very Nice! Could I Ask you... ... ...about Those Foreign License Plates? ... Are you Allowed to Run your Subie just with Those? Sharing info: More than 60% of the Vehicles Runnin' here, came from USA as we are very Near and some people trend to Keep their Original USA License Plates, placed aside the Local License Plates, as it isn't against Law to have another one(s) if your Car has the Legal ones in the Right Place, the others are considered "Ornaments" Somehow... Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind Regards. Pretty much the same here. Some states are required to have a front plate, some aren't. In the states that don't need a front plate, they don't care what you put on front. The states that need a front plate want you to have the front one there, but for the most part don't care if you add additional plates. I'm in a state that requires a front plate, but I have nothing on front... They've never given my crap for it. So depending on where you are, they may or may not care. I live in the boonies, I assume in a city they'd care more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisd Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Last time i was here I was doing my timing belt and now I'm working on left front wheel bearing (99 legacy brighton wagon). Not so easy getting things apart so far. I found topics on it in search. Just slowly but surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idasho Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I spent the afternoon in the scrap yard:banana: Wound up with 4 nearly new 14" 6-lug wagon wheels, and 2 13" wagon wheels with excellent tires for $80. The REAL silly part is that BOTH of the 13" wheels have tires that match both my summer and winter treads One of them has a Mastercraft summer tire (same tire im running right now. The other has a Hankook Zovac (same tire I have on my winter wheels). So now I have a full-size spare for both summer and winter!! here are a couple shots of the summer wheel I cleaned up and installed. It has roughly 40% tread. Perfect for a super cheap spare. Wheel flipped with a bit of hardware to allow room for the spare oil bag:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistler Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 bought an 85 brat two weeks ago replaced some coolant and vacuum hoses, fuel filter, distributor cap, spark plug wires, spark plugs, bought an oil cap, replaced a leaky radiator cap, adjusted the valves and replaced valve cover gaskets. Had to learn to set the ignition timing from scratch after brainlessly removing the distributor to get at a hose that needed replacing without marking the distributor position. Primed one of the new fenders that the Brat needs (it needs both fenders replaced and eventually two new bumpers... probably just weld some stuff up.) Generally learning about my new toy. Then I found out that my '05 forester probably has blown headgaskets. AW Fuuuuu.... We live in an apartment and the forester is my girlfriend's DD 40+ miles a day so I can't have it strewn across our living room for weeks while I learn how to rebuild an engine. Yay credit!

dragonfire Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Both my GL and my legacy do that when it rains really hard.... I should investigate. yeah i hope this fixes the problem for now. but i am afraid i will have to dig much deeper and replace metal. the seam under the wiper housing had major issues. i cant tackle welding for a while yet. and if i cant fix it that way. then i will have to part it out and move the powertrain and drivetrain to another car. i dont want to do that. but in time we will see.

I probably wouldn't weld there anyway. Too high a risk of setting the car on fire. I'd use that glue stuff for gluing cars together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too high a risk of setting the car on fire.I'd use that glue stuff for gluing cars together. the only way i would weld that is completely strip the car down to metal inside and out. wires, interior etc.... no car-b-que.

Bet they're in good shape when you find them though. I'm gonna be moving down to NC for a while. I just hope it doesn't break. Finding parts, esp used parts might be really hard.

Finding parts, esp used parts might be really hard. well it depends on who owned them before i get them or ryan gets them. this xt has been a problem child so to speak from day one. alot of it was from previuos owner. and the xt was from new jersey. ryan bought the xt first then i got it from him. he fixed eletrical and mechincal issue. they stripped tensioner bolts for the timing belts. and instead of fixing it. the rewired the injectors to match instead of retiming it. :-\ and most of the older subarus here. are mostly fwd. and thats it. in NC. i dont think you will no where near the problems we do here.
