Jerry DeMoss Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Sweet!Pugs or 6 lug? Hatch's are nice anyway you build them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 uhm, i think i will go with 6 lug Pugs are getting harder and harder to find, 6 lugs are very easy to find .. Later down the road, i might make this "project mega hatch" with like a solid axle swap and 5 link suspention. but for now, 4 inch lift will be perfecto!

IdahoJak Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Soobmater, you're going to hate me, but I just bought the '85 hatch you were looking at. I swear I emailed the guy before I saw your post. We emailed and phone called back and forth a couple times and I bought it after he emailed me a bunch more pics to look at. I really feel bad about this, cuz I saw how excited you were getting about it. If you want, I will continue to look for Hatchbacks and let you know when I see another one. I just missed out on one in California (I think someone on the forum beat me to that one). I have been searching ebay and craigslist everyday for awhile looking for a good hatch or brat. I found out this one has 190,000 miles (just broke-in for a Subaru), but is on it's second engine and tranny. It needs some distributor work (hopefully that will fix its power problem), but overall it looked clean and worth the $850. Just remember, Seattle seems to be the Subaru capital of the USA, so I'm sure you'll find another one close by. I'm going to have to drive 500 miles to pick this one up. Good luck on your search.

soobmater Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 well that sucks o well.. i'll just have to keep looking :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Sorry Idahojack, was that the REd hatch on Craigslist for $1250? IF so, that was me. The owner wouldnt budge on the price cause he said he had some dude interested out of state willing to pay more. We should get a good hatch turnout at this years WCSS, sorry you wont be in one Clay... maybe i'll let you ride in mine -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoJak Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Brian, Yes it was the red one on Craigslist for $1250. I had only emailed the guy one time and had not even mentioned the price, so it must have been someone else who offered more. It sure looked like a clean one, does it run as good as his ad said? Those Hatchies are hard to find, but they do come up, probably one every other week. In fact, the guy who sold you his Brian, emailed me back after he sold it and said he has another one he's going to be selling in August. He said he would let me know when it was for sale. If he does, I'll let folks here on the forum know about it (Soobmater first, if he want's to go to California to pick one up). But from what I've seen on Craigslist, Seatle is the best chance to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Jack, this hatch runs like a dream. 148k on the clock, and it has more gettup-n-go than my RX does. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
