Basically, any EA-81 D/R 4spd, will bolt right in. Now, if you want to go with a D/R 5spd out of an EA-82 vehicle, there's a bit more involved, but it's a...
I just did the 5sp swap to my 86 Brat. Used the trans, clutch disk, throwout bearing, shifters, console, seats and drive shaft from a 87 EA82 3dr coupe. The...
Hi Glenn and Kathi, Could you please spend a minute or two and let me (and us) know your driving impressions with the 5 speed tranny? I truly love my Brats,...
John I really couldn't tell you. When I got my Brat the clutch was all but gone with no first gear. The only way it moved under it's own power, was in low...
John From what I've read on www.ultimatesubaru.net from people who have driven Brats or EA81's for years, say that replacing the 4sp with the 5sp , makes it...
OK, here's a question I'd love an answer to... will the 5 speed drop engine speed at highway speeds over the 4 speed ? What is engine RPM at 60 mph and at 70...
No change in high gear, they are the same ratio. If you want to lower the rpm at a given speed, go to a taller tire. I'm going to run 195-70-14's about a 1.5"...
... Isn't it a shame that all good things just can't be done together to get exactly what ya want. Adding larger diamter tyres does decrease revs, but...
Dave Having 5 gears instead of 4 behind a 73 hp motor will definitely improve the acceleration of a Brat or any other low horsepower vehicle = fells like more...
... Yep, understand. Its just that my idea of going with taller tyres is going from standard 23" to bigger heavier 8 ply 27 inch muddies. They take a good 150 ...
Dave Your talking about a lot of unsprung weight to get moving. Like you said, you need alot more HP and torque to pull thoughs tires. I'm going to try a set...
Hi John This is Jerry, yes bratsrus i make the 5 speed kit. If you want to lower your RPM'S on your engine then use a turbo tranny. It has 3.70 gears in it...
I have heard that some peugeot wheels will fit subaru brats, but what other rims stock rims will fit subaru brats I am very interested in putting larger rims...
Pug (Peugeot 505) 14"& 15" wheels both steel and Aluminum with the 4 lug 140mm bolt spacing will fit. I'm doing a six lug mod to my Brat. Check here ...
Only guessing, but probably around a 175/60 tyre in a 14" size will be about the largest you can go, without needing to cut the front guards or lifting. The...
What I have read is, a 25" or shorter tire with the proper wheel offset will work on a unlifted Brat. I'll crank the front adjusters up as far as they will go...
Peugeot rims are the only other rims that will directly bolt onto a Subaru with the 4-bolt pattern. After that, you'll either have to do the 5-lug swap, from a...
I have been looking for a brat to restore for a while. I haven't had much luck. If any one can help give me ideas where I could buy one or has one they are...
I've been keeping an eye on e-bay but most of the time the cars get to be a little more expensive than what I want. I don't care if the thing is a peice of...
Charlie You can look here also www.ultimatesubaru.net Some one was giving one away here awile back, just to get it out of his yard. Glenn [Non-text portions of...
I have two brats, One is a turbo without an engine and the other is a gl. Both are automatics and they need work. contact me at ramperf@... if you are ...

I have an 83 Brat that won't pass emissions. It is too rich on the low speed idle test. My mechanic checked it and he thinks that none of the emissions...
