Anyone know Subarus/Opinion and Tips

[Bandit127]

Thanks for the tips lads..

Go for totally standard/unmodified unless its been done at great professional expense and then all the usual stuff...

The one im looking at is 100% standard. 64 Thousand miles, FSH, HPI clear so all is good upto now. Im going to have a look at it on the 27th so hopefully it will be as good as the women described

Also check for minor parking damage......

And various, random bits of fake pink fur.

On a serious note, unless its got a turbo timer fitted check the turbo and make sure oil has been changed on time every time, i'm not being sexist but women are not always terribly sympathetic to the needs of powerful turbocharged cars.

cambelts are fhaucking expensive.    like £500 for the belt kit if you DIY it iirc

check engine bay for sings of sh!ttyness   oil ocverd wireing looms that get hot FAIL  can be right PITA,  read the codes and the general look over same as any other car of that type

Not really a fan of Evo's to be honest.. I think they are really over rated (imo)

Hawkeye scoobs are the only ones I like. The engine and transmission don't seem to die just from looking at them wrong like the earlier versions

it was the classic shape i got that was an old police interceptor an i bet they didnt treat it with any care

had a classic type r for 2 year an in that time i spend £6500 on a full engine rebuild which give me 385bhp but befor that i had to change turbo gear box camshaft oil seals r non for going all the time. just be carefull on what u buy as they do cost a lot of money an fuel as mine was only getting 8mile to the gal 

u will need to service it at least every 3k oil plug etc £500 plus. dont go cheap with brakes as well as will only last ya 5 min. love subaru an would have one any time as long as i had the money to put in to it.

after the 2 year i must have easy spent over 10k.

good luck
