Any potential here?

potentially the best subaru ever made for MPG and reliability.

 

You should have seen Jim Cox drive his around the rallyX course. He took friggin EVERYTHING off of it. It was like a shoe box with turbo. He even went so far as to take off the rear hatch. :biggrin:

 

STi swap!

 

Modding potential?

 

as far as I'm concerned potential and justy just kinda go hand in hand. I wish I would have taken a pic back when I saw a red-neck-ized justy in the junk yard, The owner of the junkyard had one with the hatch cut out to become a pickup... Damn rednecks

 

Dude i almost posted somthin up about that little thing.. i want it for a winter/project car.

 

I'm not buying it...they just rarely come along and I was curious.

 

one word: transverse

the justy is the subaru bastard child. only car with a small 4-lug pattern. they have NOTHING in common with any other subaru.

nobody admits to it (with the pre-'96/USDM ones anyway), but there's no way that any subaru engineer designed them.

 

they were totally designed by subaru...absolutley bullet proof, how do i know? NOT ONE has ever come in here with major engine issues, noises, rod bearings, cyl head noise, nothing

 

too bad they didnt build all the cars like that

 

just the white ones...

 

One of those would destroy allcomers at the ice races, especially if it was gutted. I want one!

 

WOW...I like it....:yumyum:

 

yea, out of the 8 in the west metro area


every other subaru ever made has dozens of interchangeable parts with other subarus. the only exceptions (other than the justy) are the alcyones. but in both cases there, they were trying out new technology that most of the time was put into more common use later.

that's just not the case with the justy.

 

on the same subject of is there any potential, I've got my eye on a local 90k xt turbo for about 2g. SWEET I haven't seen it yet though

 

im talking EVER, we have techs that were here when they first came out, not one ever majorly taken apart

 

seems like alot of money...but I suppose that uber low mileage. that DOES have potential. lower drag coefficient than a C5 vette, lighter than virtually any other subaru, identical engine layout to any other subaru (except the justy....case in point), ideal for an engine swap.

downside....EA82t = 100% crappiest motor subaru has ever made. ok in stock form, scrap metal when modded.

still, they were never made on a scale comparable to any other subaru.


or.....none were worth fixing. they failed, and were crushed....end of story :biggrin:

 

have your views of them, they f-ing rule
