This is a custom Subaru Brat.  I bought two of them when I was in Alaska and was able to make one good one out of the parts from the other.  I get a lot of cool stories and thumbs up everywhere I go with it.  This has been my daily driver for the past 6 years.  I have done all the mods myself.  The only things that have ever gone bad for me were the starter and alternator.  I have put new wheel bearings and seals, axle shafts, and larger radiator for the larger engine.  It has a fuel injected 2.2 out of a 1995 wagon with 170hp.  The stock engine only had half of that. The engine had 80,000 on it when I removed it from the wagon.  I have since put about 3000 miles/year.  I work only 6 miles from home and ride my motorcycle often.  It has 6 lug hubs with new Chevy 6 lug wheels and tires.  I put a 5 speed out of a 1989 wagon in it.  The Brat never came with a 5 speed.  This transmission is a 4x4.  The original 4 speed comes with the truck as well.  The 4 speed has 2hi, 4hi and 4low the 5 speed has just 2hi and 2low.  The linkage in the 5 speed is getting loose and will need some attention soon but still works fine.  It comes with 3 sets of wheels and tires.  One set of U255's with Strata 255/35ZR20 tires 75% tread left, the second set is Good year Wranglers P235/75R15 on new black rims with 90% tread left and the third set were studded tires I used in Alaska.  I removed the studs and the tires are almost bald now but the wheels are good.

Extra parts that come with this truck are:
hood
4sp transmission
driveshaft
T-tops
T-top seals
Rear axle
Various trim pieces

This is NOT a rust free machine.  It has rust forming on the fenders and under the doors.  The floor is usually the first to go on these but this one is in great shape.

Vehicle is for sale locally and  will end auction early if vehicle is sold locally.
Buyer is responsible for vehicle shipping or pickup.
If full buy it now is payed I will throw in a tow dolly so you can transport easier.
Please feel free to ask any questions.

Subaru XV runs over dog in Russian ad, but in a funny way

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

In case you're wondering, no, the woman didn't actually hit the dog. This is just a commercial, and a fairly clever one after you get over the perceived canicide, that's meant to show off the desirability of Subaru's lifted Impreza wagon, the XV Crosstrek.
We'll try not to spoil it for you, because it is a fairly humorous piece, but you have to make sure to watch it from start to finish. The found-footage angle of it, which sort of presents it with the same quality as a Russian dashcam video, just adds to the video's ridiculous premise.
We aren't sure if this is an actual ad from the Russian arm of Subaru, as it seems to be posted from an independent account with only one video to its credit. Still, have a look below, and let us know what you think.

2018 Subaru Legacy freshens up with new fascia and better chassis

Thu, Feb 2 2017

The current Subaru Legacy has been on sale since 2014, and nearly every one of its competitors has received a refresh or redesign in the intervening years. Now for 2018, the Legacy gets several changes inside and out that Subie hopes will bring it in step the rest of the field. No word on if these will carry over to the closely related Subaru Outback, but look for the revised Legacy next week at the Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the Legacy gets revised front and rear fascias. While not revolutionary, the look is handsome and falls in line with other recent Subaru products, like the recently released 2017 Impreza. While the 175-hp 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder engine and the 256-hp 3.6-liter boxer six-cylinder carry over, Subaru tweaked the tuning of the transmission to provide a little more response. A CVT is the only available transmission with either engine. As always, power is sent to all four wheels. Active torque vectoring is standard across the board. Subaru revised the suspension, brakes, and electronic power steering for 2018. The changes are intended to make the Legacy more engaging to drive, but we can't say for sure until we get behind the wheel. Some changes to the transmission, mirrors, and cabin were done to help improve the car's noise, harshness, and vibrations. Inside, the Legacy features a redesigned center console and new materials throughout the cabin. An 8-inch display is now available while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard in every model. The Legacy gets the latest version of Subaru's infotainment system, Starlink. New colors and trims are now available inside and out. No word on pricing or when the new Legacy goes on sale, but look for more news in the coming months. Related Video:

Subaru turns a WRX STI into a bobsled and (barely) makes it work

Fri, Mar 17 2017

When asked how confident he felt of a successful full run down the St. Moritz-Celerina Olympic Bobrun in his specially prepared Subaru WRX STI, professional rally and stunt driver Mark Higgins responded, "50/50." In reality, he was probably being generous. It wasn't supposed to be so death-defying. In fact, Subaru's original plan was to have Higgins make several runs down the icy slope, some with journalists in the passenger seat. We were among those who traveled all the way to Switzerland for the chance to experience an automotive bobsled ride. One look at the run's famous Horseshoe Corner was all it took for us to second-guess that idea. Well, that and our pesky sense of self preservation. Higgins, though, is one of those rare humans to have been born without that fear-of-death gene. Not only is the Manx driver a professional stuntman – his resume includes sequences for Daniel Craig's James Bond – he also won the British Rally Championship three times and is the four-wheeled record holder at the famed Isle of Man Snaefell Mountain Course. So, when Higgins says some sort of vehicular stunt has only half a chance at success, well, let's just say that most mortals would say something more akin to "a snowball's chance in hell." On the topic of snow and balls, it's worth noting that the timing of Subaru's bobsled run wasn't set by choice. The Olympic Bobrun hosts regular events every winter through late February or early March. Since the track at St. Moritz is the only run in the world without an artificial cooling system, warm weather means no sledding. Combine those two facts and you end up with a very narrow window in which Subaru could go about making the modified track and a WRX STI actually fit together. Enter the boffins at Prodrive. The British engineering firm first started modifying vehicles for racing in 1984. By 1990, Prodrive was focused on turning turbocharged Imprezas into championship winners for the likes of Colin McRae, Richard Burns, and Petter Solberg. So it comes as little surprise that Subaru turned back to Prodrive to figure out how to modify a 2015 WRX STI in a way that would make it survive the pounding it would sustain on a bob run. For the record, this isn't just any 2015 WRX STI. It's actually the same car Higgins used in 2014 to set a lap record at the Isle of Man.
