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.

Ride along with Mark Higgins for a record-setting lap

Mon, Jun 27 2016

Earlier this month, driver Mark Higgins, Subaru of America, and Prodrive broke their own record on the Isle of Man's Snaefell Mountain Course by setting a time of 17 minutes, 35 seconds. The attempt was approximately two minutes better than their previous record, which was set with a time of 19 minutes, 26 seconds. Now, Subaru has released the full, hairy in-car video of the record-setting lap that is narrated by Higgins himself. Listening to Higgins' 550-hp Subaru WRX STI scream to over 170 miles per hour is the best cure for a case of the Mondays, while watching the driver navigate over the course's less-than-perfect road will surely cause some anxiety. It may be a 20-minute long video, but every minute is filled with nail-biting moments and listening to Higgins' thought process through the course is mesmerizing. Incredibly, Higgins managed an average lap speed of 128.73 mph. And while that may seem impossible for mere mortals to match, Higgins believes he can go even faster. Subaru will surely be back with another WRX STI next year, but it's hard to fathom a car being able to go any faster around the Isle of Man. Related Video:

Subaru builds 3 millionth car in America

Mon, Aug 1 2016

Subaru announced August 1 that its Indiana factory completed the 3 millionth American-built Subaru, a Lapis Blue Pearl Outback. The company reached the milestone July 28. Subaru has been building cars at its factory in Lafayette, IN, since 1989. The factory opened as a joint venture with Isuzu, but Subaru eventually took full ownership. Subaru first built North American Legacy sedans and wagons at the factory, followed by the Outback, Baja, and Tribeca. Subaru plans to upgrade the Indiana facility to handle increased demand. The company will double capacity from 218,000 units to 436,000 by March 2019. Subaru will add Impreza production toward the end of the year, and begin production of a three-row crossover in 2018.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
