1979 GEN 1 subaru brat The BRAT was built by a machinist and welding professor from Oregon who later moved to NC. It has tons of custom work done to it. All of the suspension is custom installed as is the drivetrain and even the side skirts and fenders are custom. This BRAT is not your typical custom. It is powered by a estimated 170hp EA82T megasquirt controlled fuel injected turbo motor. The engine has been all rebuilt by the original builder and has less than 1000 miles on it since being rebuilt. The engine is a beast and this thing when properly tuned is like a rocket. The BRAt handles like it is on rails and is nice and sporty and firm. The suspension was also new when built so it is roughly 1000 miles also. The engine management system is a custom MEGASQUIRT system with MSD individual coil igniton and fuel injection and a WRX turbo boosting it up to 15lbs conservatively. The engine was built up with delta cams and stronger internals to handle the power. The 5 speed all wheel drive transmission shifts smoothly and accelerates very quickly. The battery is new, as is the water pump, all fluids have been checked and changed, and the radiator has been restored back to factory and the oil pump was also resealed and rebuilt. The tires on the truck are BF Goodrich mounted on 16x7.4" aluminum racing wheels, BF Goodrich G Force Sport 205/45/ZR 16 tires, and stopping is XT disk brakes all around. The interior is left up to the new owners so they can make it the way they want it. The seats are ready to bolt it after you decide on a color for the interior. I have black and brown interior dashes and other parts. the door panels are ready to be covered and i even have an original Clarion radio for the dash if you wish. The heat is hooked up and ready to run. It does not have A/C and with the two windows down and the rear window open both sides open cools great. The BRAT is a blast and does include the rear jump seats which are in great shape, a custom made bumper that just needs paint, aand a lot of spare interior parts. The paint and body work is decent. The color is great and a factory subaru 1980 color and the stripes are custom made just for this BRAT. The body work is marginal because this truck was built to enjoy and drive. It looks great from 10 feet but is in no way perfect or straight. I get is compliments when i drive it around town.
TRANSMISSION: EA82 2 piece driveshafts, custom front cv driveshafts in the front, and an AWD 5 speed transmission transfer all of the power to the ground at all 4 wheels
BRAKES: 1986 turbo XT master cylinder booster and disk brakes all around give everything that stopping power you need
SUSPENSION AND WHEELS: the BRAT is resting on XT suspension on each corner with full new coilover setup, 16x7.5" bronze racing wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich 205/45/ZR16 tires all around
INTERIOR AND WIRING: The BRAT has a stand alone wiring system for the engine and the stock BRAT wiring harness is running the axillaries. Gauges are factory gauge cluster all working but the Tach signal is a bit off, gas gauge sending unit is rebuilt, AutoMeter boost, oil pressure and engine coolant temperature gauge (not working) are all installed and working except the coolant gauge needle fell off. It can be removed and sent back to AutoMeter for repair or replacement. Innovate LC1 wideband O2 setup is installed for mega squirt auto tune and the gauge is installed in the dash but not hooked up as i have been reading the WIDEBAND setup on the laptop. Seats are from a mid 90s Honda prelude and covered in gray and red tweed professionally. The door panels are stock uncovered and the bottom pressed plastic covers are included but not installed because of the Blaupunkt speakers that may or may not be left installed which i will leave up to the new owners decision. The radio is a modern Subaru unit that does work and i also am including an un cut black dash piece with the a factory working Clarion radio. The dash in the BRAT is cracked but included is a nice uncut dash with a black dash cover. There are also black arm rests included and other miscellaneous extra dash pieces. There is also newer black carpet installed and the truck has FatMat noise cancelling from the roof to the floor and the doors.
The truck does run and drive and is a beast... It will need the interior finished to your liking and the seats mounted. The horn is not hooked up. The MEGASQUIRT will need retuned after you purchase it to your area. It does tune great but the computer is sensitive to altitude and pressure changes. Only other thing it MAY need is a small, like less than 1/2 gallon, cavitation tank. Either that or pull the gas tank and remove a section of baffle at the outlet of the gas tank. Sometimes under heavy acceleration the fuel pump by the tank will starve for a second or 2 and loose pressure for a minute. All things could be done in a weekend to make it your liking and setup whether a road racing weekend warrior or a daily driver for the snow cabin. $500 paypal non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction ending, final payment due within 7 buisness days of auction closing This truck will not diasspoint and all the hard work is done I just left a few things to let the new owner make it their own! BID TO WIN, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER BRAT LIKE THIS EVER!!!!!

Subaru WRX and STI meet at the dyno with interesting results
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Road and Track recently put the 2015 Subaru WRX and the 2015 WRX STI through a battery of dyno tests to find out not only how much difference there is between their two engines, but what kind of differences there are. The WRX gets the company's new FA20 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine with features like a twin-scroll turbocharger, direct injection and variable valve timing on its two cams. The WRX STI stands pat with the older EJ-Series motor, meaning a 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder with port fuel injection and carryover turbo lag. Subaru pegs the $26,295 WRX at 268 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque and an "extremely conservative" 0-60 mile per hour time of 5.4 seconds. The $34,495 STI clocks in at 305 hp and 290 lb-ft with a 0-60 mph time of 5.1 seconds. Ok, fight.
R&T's dyno runs sussed power numbers at the wheel of 223 hp and 245 lb-ft for the WRX, 247 hp and 243 lb-ft for the STI, then went on to demonstrate in numbers what everyone knew: that the WRX consistently puts out more of its torque earlier than the STI and achieves full boost almost three seconds quicker. On the other hand, on the track, the STI was also shown to have a conservative official 0-60 mph time, stopping the timer at 4.8 seconds compared to the WRX's 5.2 seconds.
The mag says it has comprehensive results coming from its "complete battery of tests," but for now, you can scrutinize their dyno charts and let the battle continue about which one you'd rather put your money down for.
2015 Subaru WRX
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Every time I drive a Subaru WRX, I wish one of my parents had taken some weird, top-secret spy job that would have forced us to relocate to Finland when I was a kid. I could have learned the art of rally-style car control as a young lad, and in my adult life, sought out a dangerous/rewarding/awesome career as a professional WRC driver.
Never was that more clear than on the launch program for the new 2015 WRX, where Subaru pointed us down a long, somewhat treacherous stretch of road in the tree-lined mountains of northern California. Quick elevation changes were met with blind turns and washed-out shoulders, not to mention rogue bits of snow, ice and gravel that lined the apexes of nearly every turn. Here, I couldn't stop grinning, my co-driver and I switching between second and third gears, with precise steering inputs and judicious braking keeping us safely on the road and not plummeting nose-first into the trees. And the WRX simply devoured each inch of pavement with a ferocious poise that made me remember why I have loved this car so darn much.
But this sort of 100 Acre Wood perfection isn't the only way to experience Subaru's darling WRX. After a long stint of driving back down the California coast on Highway 1, I realized that Subaru's line about this being the best-driving WRX yet wasn't just a bunch of PR mumbo-jumbo. Of course, it isn't without a few compromises...
Everything new at the 2019 New York International Auto Show
Wed, Apr 24 2019Transcript: Welcome to the 2019 New York Auto Show. It's the last auto show, and so far it's my favorite of the year. We have a new buggy, compact pickup and trail ready SUV from Volkswagen. Ford brought the new Escape and a new Mustang performance variant, and we have a brand new Toyota Highlander and Subaru Outback. Let's go take a look around. We're here at the New York Auto Show with the Subaru stand. Normally the Subaru stand is just some white carpet and some show lighting. This year it's like we're in a national park. It's ... Frankly, I'm from Oregon. You're from Colorado. Yeah. It's making us feel at home. And in that way what better place and what better people to introduce this Subaru Outback which is pretty much the official car of Colorado and Oregon. Yeah. You actually have to buy a Subaru before they let you move to Colorado. Now instead of climbing up there and taking a look because we've been told we can't do that we're gonna go over there and check out another one. So the exterior, not that different. No. Looks exactly like an Outback. There's actually oddly a little more black plastic trim on the outside. A little too much for me. Right. It's interesting because it kind of slowly went away from that from the beginning because in the beginning the black plastic trim kind of made it an Outback, and now they're kind of bringing it back. I guess they needed to make it more macho. Right. Right. Now we're inside. Inside it looks pretty different. Swank. It's kind of swank for an Outback which has been pretty plain. Now this is the newly available vertically gigantic touch screen here. 11.6 inches. That is massive. This is how big it is when it's turned on ... just for the viewers. Now this is the onyx trim. So with that you get the black mirrors, the black wheels. This upholstery is special to the onyx, so it's gray and black and you also have this green stitching. Yeah, I like this accent stitching. It's kind of neat. Oh there's also a little tray there. Well this is a deep bin here. You can probably fit a phone. There we go. Almost. Yeah there are two USB ports. There's an additional two in the backseat. So this thing here you pop in the cup holder and it gives you a little more space or less space. These are really big, so if you have one of those Nalgene bottles I'm guessing it's going to fit in there. One of my complaints about my Subaru that I own now which is a naturally aspirated Crosstrek is that up in the mountains. It's slow?
