look what i picked up for 600 bucks!!!
Monday, September 20, 2010 3:53 PM
Few people know about my subaru project. was pretty much doomed from the start...


well i sold it for 500, then found this beauty for 600. so its like i only spent 100!!!!








has a dead number 5 cylinder, and i know headgaskets are bad. whether or not the head is causing dead cylinder i don't know yet.
gotta fully diag it, determine if im keeping that engine or not, and get her running. after she fires, that hideous exhaust is going far far away.

I hear those cars are expensive to maintain especially the TT. Main reason I gave up on finding one.

I have heard they're a PITA to work on. Definitely a neat car though. I've always liked them

I had a 1995 twin turbo for the longest time. Yes... The car was a pain to work on, but one of the most fun cars in my opinion. Great platform. Trade ya my cavalier

its a non turbo and I can't see the location of the fuel door, but I am assuming its a 2+2 seat model.

I've always loved the look of those cars. It's like the poor man's lambo haha. Looks like you've got a little work to do. And from what I've heard, they are NOT easy to work on.

Nice car. Not bad for 600 bucks. I actually have a buddy with a Skyline engine in his with a HUGE single turbo. All custom and fast as all hell. I also had one of those cars come to me before was firing on only 2 of the six cylinders. Worst part is the owner had just had brand new heads put on, and when we did the compression test on it, there was only comression on 2. One half of the engine had nothing, and 1 on the other side had nothing. When we called him and told him, he said we were lieing, and took the car. So oh well, but when they run, they are fun cars!!! GL with urs!!!

horsepower is the force that determines at what speed you hit the wall, torque is the force that determines how far you take the wall with you after you hit it.

Man...you have no idea. I had a 1991 TT in the shop for a radiator fluid leak. An extremely small (maybe 4" long?) hose had cracked and nobody in town would touch the car because of the exhaust he had us install on it. That 4" leaking rubber hose cost him $600.00 to fix at our shop. He said the one quote he did end up getting was almost twice that amount. I cannot explain how crammed-in-there the TT motor is. It's a B1TCH to work on...

God I remember that! He had just gotten that thing put back together when that @!#$ happened too. I've always loved 300 Z's.
