1979 Subaru Brat Xti Wrx Subie Monster Road Race Drift Weekend Warrior Daily on 2040-cars

 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.

ENGINE: 1986 XT ea82 rebuilt engine, delta performance cams, rebuilt oil pump, 1988 XT MPFI non-turbo manfold, which flows better than the turbo one, WRX intercooler, down pipe, and turbo, EDIS MSD coils, 1986 subaru XT new fuel pump, MegaSquirt-II Engine Management System w/PCB3 with usb to serial cable connection for at time tuning, rebuild water pump, new timing belts, rebuilt radiator boiled out and resoldered, and this all gooes out through mandrel bent 3" exhaust into a 3" magnaflow stainless muffler at the back of the truck for that throaty SUBIE sound!!! All this adds up to an estimated 170hp in a 1900 lb BRAT!

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.

PAINT AND BODY: 1980 subaru code 67 deep blue 60% flattened, door jams and engine bay painted gloss subaru 67 deep blue, inside of bed painted flat black industrial tough enamel, custom GEN 1 BRAT stripes in bronze with XTI cut in the rear bed section. Custom built fiberglass flared front fenders, fender flares built into the bedsides on the rear, custom molded side skirts installed, shaved gas doors, polished tailgate subaru badge, polished chrome door handles and locks, refinshed grill badge custom painted to match, and custom painted tailgate badge.

The truck is a stand alone fuel management and spark system with an adjustable blow off valve on the turbo. The engine is very sensitive and responsive when tuned properly. I have set up the BRAT to be tuned through the AUTOTUNE program. Literally start it up and click start tune and the laptop you hook it up to does the rest from the there.

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.
