caseyrulz Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Yeah i'm just trying to get advice on if i should part my subaru. its a 2 door hatchback, haven't seen too many in this body style with an ea82t (turbo) in michigan(or on the net). its a pretty nice car i have everything except the inline fuel pump below the back right seat and the gasket between the turbo and the manifold. i ran the car after sitting 2 years (when i first got it)and was stupid and decided to go down a road at about 120mph just the top it out and it blew the turbo. i bought a turbo used last year and the turbo ran great(worked fine) except the gasket problem held it back.only the driver side seat is bad in the interior other than that its pretty good. what i'm really looking fpr is advice on if i should fix it or part it out. offers are always up because i am very tight for money right now but any info would be greatly appreciated on if i should part it out or fix it. i would really like to fix it and build it up but the woman is more in the money mode and i haven't found anyone with the parts in a couple years. i wil post pics within the next 2 weeks to show the actual car. please give me your comments. all are accepted, good or bad.

Marck Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I wouldn't part it out. Theres not enough wrong with it to justify parting it out (unless it has mucho rust). My car has two bad rear axles, cracked turbo side head (crack is in exhaust port), cracked crossover pipe, doesn't pass smog (due to cracked crossover pipe), doesn't boost (also due to cracked crossover pipe or turbo may be bad), and the list goes on and I am still not parting mine out. At one point in time the car was on fire (literally) and I still fixed it. But hey, thats just me...I never give up. I got plans underway to fix the problems and get some serious hp out of this thing. I never had to change the fuel pump before so I do not know what that involves, but I don't think its that hard to change. If the bad turbo gasket you are talking about is between the downpipe and the turbo, then it is really really easy to replace. If it is between the turbo and crossover/manifold pipe then that can be a bit of a pain, but not as bad as changing a head . If its too much trouble to repair and deal with yourself, then I recommend selling it cheap to someone on the board or to someone who can fix it, but I wouldn't part it out. I know sometimes these cars can be hard to deal with because if your car is anything like mine, something else will break after fixing it. My car has been nickel and diming me for three years. But if you sell the car that will save you lots of money in future repairs:D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 You're too far away for me to consider anything, but you might want to contact Miles Fox. He's nearby and always looking for another ride. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
