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.

Hotter Subaru WRX STI teased for Detroit, probably the S209

Thu, Dec 20 2018

We reported yesterday about Subaru filing an application to trademark the name "S209" for the U.S. Today, Subaru released a teaser video for what we think is that exact car: the WRX STI S209. In a video titled "From Japan with Love," Subaru is seen lapping Virginia International Raceway in a slightly-hotter-than-normal, camouflaged STI. At first glance, it's easy to see it as the STI Type RA from earlier this year. However, looking closer at the aero package reveals a little bit more. A side-by-side comparison between this car and the Type RA reveals prominent canards in front of the wheels, exclusive to what we'll call the S209. No such pieces exist on the Type RA. To make those canards flow into the bodywork, it looks like Subaru tacked on some fender flares surrounding the front and rear wheels. It's noticeably different from other STI variations, so we'll see if Subie keeps them for the production car. Beyond that, it's hardly any different than the Type RA in appearance. The gigantic wing is accounted for, as are the gorgeous gold wheels. Another reason we think this is the S209 is Subaru's video description. It reads, "Something special from Subaru Tecnica International is coming to America for the first time ever." The S20(X) series that started in 2000 with the S201 has been never come stateside before. This series has traditionally produced STIs that have more power, suspension and aero than your regular STI. Most recently, the S208 used a 2.0-liter turbo flat-four that put out 329 horsepower and 319 pound-feet of torque. Of course, the U.S. is still dealing with Subaru's Byzantine-era EJ25 2.5-liter flat-four. More power can be had past that engine's 305 horses it makes here now, so we'll see if that's the route Subaru plans to take. Subaru ended by saying it'll be revealing the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January. The wait won't be long for what we imagine will be the new king of Subarus in the U.S. Related video:
