TOPIC:

I've responded to a add in a local paper for a Subaru Brat, the guys says its an original.I is there anyway that I can tell for sure?

I'm not sure, but I believe the reissue has a date stamp on the inside of the body. Usually on the inside of the cabin roof.
The date would say 2005 or whenever it was released.

Thanks, I'm keen to get . He will send me a pic tonight, I'll post it when I get it. I'm really hoping its an original.

i believe the original brat has a "locked/posi" rear end (no "differential"). also the steering servo uses a bell-crank type linkage to the tie rods where as the re-re uses a standard servo saver similar to the frog/blackfoot. check out the pics in the original manual in the downloads section to see the steering linkage. hope that helps, sorry if too late.

How did you go with the Brat?
Did you end up getting it?

Yea I got it and I'm slowly re building it, Ill post some progress pics

Nice.

Looking forward to the pics.
