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!!!!!

Scion testing updated FR-S
Thu, Sep 17 2015It looks like Toyota is preparing a mid-cycle update for its critically acclaimed GT86, known here in the US as the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. As far as updates go, this one looks to be rather average. Hidden behind the camouflaged front and rear ends, we have new headlights and taillights, which according to our spies looked to be of the LED variety. We wouldn't be shocked to see the GT86 get LED taillights, although fitting the top-of-the-line headlights seems less likely. Supporting that position are the images we have of the actual headlights in action, which don't look quite bright enough to be full LED units. Instead, we'd expect some new form of running light, perhaps with bi-xenon low beams. Aside from the lamps, the front bumper gets a larger, more prominent lower intake, while the rear end sports a redefined bumper that houses larger dual exhaust tips. The size of the spoiler has been increased, too. According to our spies, we should also expect powertrain enhancements – which we can only hope means more power – as well as upgrades to the interior of the GT86. While it's possible that the updates being tested in Germany could be exclusive to the European market, that seems unlikely. We'd expect the same new enhancements to at least find their way to the Scion, if not its Subaru-badged twin. Check out the full battery of spy photos up top. Related Video:
Subaru recalling over 8,000 cars for Takata airbag inflators
Tue, 08 Jul 2014We have one more automaker to chalk up recalling Takata airbag inflators. Subaru is now throwing its hat in the ring by repairing 8,557 vehicles nationwide for faulty front passenger inflators. According to the Defect Notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the problem affects 3,151 examples of the Legacy, Outback and Baja from the 2003 and 2004 model years and 5,406 units of the Impreza, including the WRX and STI (pictured above), from the 2004 model year.
As we all know by now, it's possible for the inflators to explode during airbag deployment possibly affecting not only the bag's inflation but also potentially spraying metal shrapnel at occupants. All of the affected vehicles will receive new passenger side inflators at no charge to the owner.
Seven automakers in the US announced recalls for the problem in late June affecting an estimated 2.1 million vehicles. Unlike some of the companies, Subaru is repairing all of the affected models in the US, rather just in certain warm-weather states. According to company spokesperson Michael McHale to Autoblog the reason is that "it was simpler to get everybody in there and make sure it was done." The replacement inflators should be in by the end of July, he said. Scroll down to read the recall report from NHTSA or download the full defect notice as a PDF, here.
Colorado bear locks itself inside of, destroys Subaru
Thu, Jul 14 2016A Colorado woman got a rude awakening this week when she discovered a black bear locked inside her car. According to 9NEWS, on the morning of July 12, Jefferson County sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a bear trapped in a car on Cold Springs Gulch Road. When they arrived on the scene, deputies Tillman and McLaughlin discovered a medium-sized black bear locked inside a white, 2005 Subaru Outback. There was no damage apparent to the car's exterior, but the bear had absolutely destroyed the interior. "He looked like a dog inside the car just jumping back and forth from front to back," said Deputy Tillman. "He just demolished it." The car's owner, Annie Bruecker, told the deputies that she'd left the car parked in her driveway Monday night with the doors unlocked. On Tuesday morning, she woke up to her mother yelling about a bear in her car. "She screamed from downstairs," said Breucker. "She said, 'Annie, there's a bear in your car.' and I thought that she meant that it broke a window, and I was like, 'okay, that's life.' But, no, she actually meant that it was in my car." Deputies Tillman and McLaughlin deliberated for a while, trying to figure out how to extract the agitated bear from the Subaru. Eventually, they settled on manually opening the rear hatch. Deputy McLaughlin carefully opened the hatch while Deputy Tillman stood by with a shotgun ready, just in case. Thankfully, the bear had had enough of civilization and promptly bolted back into the forest. After they released the bear, the deputies warned campers at a nearby campground that the bear might be lurking about and that they should be cautious. "Bears are unpredictable," said Deputy Tillman. "And they're starting to realize how to do a lot of human activity." Recent Video: News Source: 9NEWS Humor Weird Car News Subaru colorado bear outback
