Subaru 4wd mini van taxi in Vanuatu

google both. REX is the sherpa and fiori here in Oz. there was also a 1 generation one as well that no one got. justy was available in 2wd,4wd and there was a turbo 4wd version as well (jap only.) there are a lot of the parts that are shared between the justy and the sherpa - glass and doors are common, floor pan is similar but wider in the middle for the justy. some of the inner panels swap as well. for some reason I know too much about these small cars.. as for the sambar versions - the later trucks had 4cyl S/charged engines in them. the earlier ones had a EF10s and EF12s (carbed and injected 3cyl) in them. considered buying a truck in NZ ans shipping it to Oz - but parts stopped the idea. -

justy is a J series car.nothing even related to the REX. I imported a 4wd RS justy in 2000 from NZ (it was a jap one NZ car didn't get A/C - mine had it.). - the EBAY one was blue and had frontal damage. it was mine - I ran out of funds to fix it and passed it onto a fellow who thought he could- ended up on ebay for $300 at last count- unsure what happened to it after that. the fiori is the subaru REX. (as was the sherpa.) google subaru REX and you will find all sorts of cool Kei cars. -

Sherpa and justy are two different cars - I had a KA6 for a while and it was TOTALLY different to the KM3 sherpa I had. its a good 5 " wider and 10" longer in the front. libero - not here. suzuki ,honda and diahastu did sell here but not subaru. LEONE definitely. had 2 now. -

I disagree there. they sold the REX here but not the truck or van. NZ got both of them. -
it may foul in yours as the brake booster is in the way (IE LHD.) it drops into those bodies VERY easily. use wrx mounts and all of the legacy stuff - job done. only thing stopping me is the trans x/member. once that is sorted its right to go.
-
if you could that would be great. rear crossmember will be correct mounts may not.
-
xt6 would do it. xt would not. ( they were 3spd here not 4.) now where do I find one since the XT6 wasn't sold here either.. actually - Oz did get the gen 1 legacy- thinking that may have the correct mounts if what I think you are saying is correct. must look. thanks! regrading brett, he's just as elusive here.
-
how did he fix it??
-
actually it made sense. donor is a 96 GTB and I tried the later (albeit stuffed )mounts on what I have. trans mounts are wider than the crossmember and they are also 1" or so higher up . the height doesn't bother me the width does. had a brief search here before I asked this question. part numbers would still be handy.
-
if I understand correctly subaru sold them with the 4EAT in them in the USA. need part numbers for: rear trans mount (think there are two of them.) middle support rear trans crossmember ( I have a 3 spd one.) OR the phone number of a northern subaru dealer ( they are easier to understand ) all so I can finish this off. loyale on top and literally a legacy GT-B underneath.
-
legacy fronts and use a XT6 for the rear. hubs are the key bit. if you are handy use the STI bits. I have WRX under mine with the rear XT6 hubs. (which are scarce out here.)
-
ok this may get a bit involved.. have a 88 Leone GT2 (GL10 I think your term is.) was originally manual swapped to auto. put a EJ20H in it (twin turbo from a 97 BG5 Legacy.) with all the fruit as well as a 4sp auto. I have source the loyale 4sp shifter but I DO NOT have the cable or mounting bracket that works with it. alos missing are the gearbox mounts. I DO have the legacy one and it appears the same. I'm still missing the mounting bracket that holds this cable to the shifter. does anyone have one or a picture of the bracket so I can make one. also need the box mounts (or a picture) so I can find them as well. help!
-
where are you?
-
I know how much is in mine and I could easily have imported a Legacy GTB for the same amount... (I built this car cause I wanted to.)
