Phizinza Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 So... After my last Subaru (My FT4WD Lifted Brumby with EJ22) I decided my next car was going to be comfortable, nice in the turns and decent power. But then budget struck and a year after selling the Brumby I bought another Subaru. This one, the 83 leone sedan, runs the same motor my Brumby came with (EA81dc) and a 3.9 5sp D/R. Also the same 27" mt's. So obviously its not what I actually wanted and said I would aim for. I'm now not completely sure how I convinced myself this is what I wanted but now I have it and I'm stuck with it til I can aford something better. This isn't a question, or interesting info, its just me wishing I could buy sometihng better. The problem I have is... I like 4wdin right, I also can really only think of owning 1 car. So my options are, buy a towing car and have a car trailer with offroad rigs built on the cheap or buy a 4wd. Now any 4wd other then a Subaru is not going to do what I said in my first paragraph. So I really see it as I'm stuck with Subaru, or towing car. Now I do like the Towing car option, but if I done that I wouldnt be able to go for a newer nice Subaru because they just aren't rated to tow more then 750kg (and we get over $20,000 fines here for going over the towing limit). Now in between owning the Burmby and Leone I had a 79 V8 Mercedes, beautiful car, but it was only bought for another project and I finally sold it because that other project fell thru. What that had was power, towing ability, fairly reliable except for the electrics, and style. Of course being a v8 meant paying v8 rego which sucks. And also even though it was pretty good on fuel for a 29yo car it still used 16.2mpg. But I did like the luxury, and I was thinking about getting a 90's merc, maybe with a 6cyl.. But some say the ones after 82 were made in africa or something and are ____. So I'm not sure, they do seem to sell pretty cheap for what they are... I guess I'm just gonna have to stick with the subie this year, do the mods I want and maybe it might even be a reasonable car that I'm happy to drive anywhere. But atm I'm not happy with the loud exhaust, not happy with the stupid dual carbs, not happy with the body roll (gonna have to put a antisway bar back on I think lol!) and not happy with 0-60mph in 9+ seconds.
