  1. SVX's are WAY cheap to buy, cheapest bang for the buck, can usually get ones with bad trannys for 500-1500 dollars. They were a high priced luxury car, and by all means if you know the problems with the Transmissions, and are buying one to swap a tranny in, then i recommend checking the site http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/ The car gets 25mpg, cruises at 80mph at about 2100 rpm, and has great handling, is quiet, smooth ride, and lots of bells and wistles that are neat. Many SVX's are very capable of 500k miles with a better tranny, routine wheel bearing replacements, and Tbelt change. .
  2. the 4eat version wiil hit 140mph on a turbo wagon pretty quickly. Seems my 5mt in the 92 doesnt go much more than 120
  3. more BRATS........ Nice yard space. NIce.
  4. and I am not sure we have a category to post this so i am posting it on here since it is a Subaru I took to the show. Got first place at the 25th Grinnell Happy Days car show, in the "Mini Truck" class. I was the only entry in that class:lol: 150 cars total showed. link to pics. http://s405.photobucket.com/albums/pp132/bheinen74/Grinnell%20Car%20show%2009/?action=view&current=IMGA0497.jpg&newest=1 People were like, why is the spre tire by the engine, did you put the seats in the back, is it legal to sit back there, etc.
  5. MIght be just one of the "too many mechanics got used to the old ej22 engine that was non-interference" and did not know the newer ej22 is interference. I would try a new mechanic if he is giving you the runaround.
  6. i saw a 86 Brat in the Pick N pull JY the other day with 92,000 on it, orginal (original) 50,000 orginal is low (original)
  7. carb kits are still available all over the place as far as i know. Check Napa. they are also on fleabay,etc. btw a carb kit should only be like 30 bucks
  8. sounds like a bunch of b******t on both accounts. a new headlight assembly lists for about 175 No need to replace whole unit, just replace the 15 dollar bulb.
  9. EA82T is not usually a motor to risk ANY mods on of such. It was not a reliable motor in stock form generally, although some have been okay on it, not many though. Once you mod it, might as well swap it. I have not had firsthand experience with an EA82 anything, I am just posting what i have become familiar with in threads and most people say this.
  10. Hi. Nice choice on the GT. I am in the process of searching for a 05 LGT Wagon, but may have to settle on a sedan. How did you find yours? My color choices are RPD, GRP, or white, and I prefer tan interior, most are black. I have bid on 3 of them in the past few weeks at auction, but not succesful as of yet. Would love to replace a few of mine with something newer like this. Watch for my fire sales soon to help the funding. Enjoy yours and post how you like it and whats good or not good about the way it drives, etc.
  11. Wow that really sucks and lesson to all, Harbor Freight tools are a risk no matter what. Most everything I have purchased from them be JUNK.....my harbor freight dremel is about as bad as one could make.
  12. The Government should perhaps conduct a study of health effects of "new car smell" to determine if it is a health hazard, and if so, make manufacturers change the materials they use to produce cars. They are making cars with recycled toxins perhaps, and the air polluting part of the toxins cannot be good for people. A related note is when ever I have purchased new mattresses/bedding, its the same, or new carpet, same. The smell is intoxicating to me and my allergies.
  13. we just need to have some company reproduce the white spoke wagon wheels in a 15".........exact copy of stock wheels but in 15"
  14. is your new garage heated? going to garage sale that old reddy heater? When you get your garage all cleaned, you can come clean mine. I am getting more and more parts its getting crazy, I have like 5 stacks of tires, tailgates, engines, crossmembers, etc and i am running out of room, parking 3 cars in a 2 stall garage is kinda tight now. . cant wait to see some pics of what you got for tool chests.
  15. I should find one (sambar or justy) then because i have a extraset of tires/wheels sitting and rotting away for my civic.
  16. We dont have 6 lug yota wheels around here....none. I really have yet to find a junkyard with a Toyota in it, nobody junks them around here, there were so few Toyotas sold in Iowa in that era, and the ones that were are still running strong.
  17. 4x100 is not for Brats, ea81 seris or ea82 series cars. 4X100 is for Hondas, not Subarus...
  18. maybe the normal radiator fan not coming on at all, maybe its wiring or connector issue. Sounds like the AC fan is coming on.
  19. I suggest for everyone to use anti-sieze when re-inserting axles, I always generously antisieze the splines-on both ends, the hub end and the differential end.
  20. mean this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWMU5TO2ZQw i watched it til the end. big fireball
  21. ^load rating 656 beadlock not functional, but they include it anyway I can see polaris dealerships missing a bunch of wheels/tires soon on their lots
  22. But they are putting these wheels on 7,500 dollar + Polaris ATVS. We want to put them on 600 dollar subarus. The wheels cost way too much for our vehicles....
