SUBARU3

Good discussion and points! I would think the auto would have a bit more control. Besides I'm getting older and clutching becomes a pain! I find it interesting that the 90's AWDs seem better than the new ones. Todd

Damn....hate to hear all this! Moving back to PA!

I guess the trade off "rusty car for family" will be worth it. Life is short and some rust on a car is kinda down a ways on the list of priorities. But we car people love our cars! They are like children in a way! I'll just call in sick on snow days! Now tell me....why do people seems to like the the 5speed AWD better than the 4EAT? I understand the difference between manual and automatic, but does the 4EAT not do well in snow?

That's a good point. Now I have to choose which one gets a death sentence!

Wow...this is becoming a neat thread! Thanks Gary for the added insight! I do believe that I will select a "snow service car" and maintain it WELL. Most likely the legacy. I know that I am REMOVING that rubber trim that both the Imprezas and the Legacys have on the rear wheel well lip! The vintage suff will be placed in ziplock bags in the attic during the winter!

That's a good idea Shawn. My fleet is this: 95 Legacy LS AWD sedan 95 Impreza LS AWD sedan 95 Impreza L FWD 1.8 coupe...(my high mpg Subi) 91 Legacy LSI sedan 94 Astro Van Extended 81 Plymouth Champ LS "twin stick" 1.6 79 Dodge Colt custom " twin stick" 1.6 79 Subaru wagon 5 speed FWD DL 78 Subaru wagon automatic FWD DL How in the hell did I get all these cars??? :banghead:

Some good advice here! Thanks! I wonder why the Imprezas rust faster? Gosh I have 7 cars and I hate to buy a beater on top of it! But I just hate to use my loved babies. Question....is it pretty safe to drive in the winter on dry roads, or does the salt linger for some time after a storm? I understand that wet roads reconstitute the salt and cycle starts all over again, but how long does it take for the roads to "washoff" and the salt be rinsed way off the road?

I have in motion a plan to return to my home state, PA. I'm debating on car usage during the bad winter days. I have 2 AWDS. (1) 1995 Impreza sedan Auto 2.2 and (1) 1995 Legacy sedan Auto 2.2. Which of these 2 would be better on snow/ice? Also both these cars are rust free TX cars and I'd like to keep them that way for a long time! Is one of these more prone to rust than the other? Where do I need to take special precautions at with washing, etc during the winter? I love these cars and HATE to even use one in the winter. Maybe I will buy a beater.....then again some consider a 95 car a beater. Well, they are not to me and don't even have 100 K on them yet! Obviously my vintage collection will NEVER be on treated roads! Nor will my 2WD Impreza. Thoughts? Thanks guys!

How's $10 ea. Todd

I have some nice interior handle assemblies and the metal rods back to the latch. Todd

Are you ordering? I may pick one up in Warminster. Keep us posted.

Sold

Mark has paid for my gasket, so it's now his. I will update the roster. Paul, I will email you his address to ship it to. Thanks!

This has been sold.

Anyone have an interest in JDM vintage Subaru literature/brochures? I have quite a bit. Mostly 70s stuff, some early 80s. Quite cool lots of pics. Before I put on eBay, I'd sell the lot of about 25 pieces. Very rare stuff. I can inventory and take pics if there is an interest.

I will sell you mine. I ordered one and really don't need it. Paul can ship it to you. He has not shipped it yet. If you need it fast, I can ship you one from the previous batch I have on hand. I'm in Dallas, so it will be to you in a day. email me subaru3@aol.com $54

If anyone is still in need of a gasket, I will sell mine for the $54 I paid. I have still have 2 from our last order and new rubber in my cars too. Paul still has it, so he can ship directly to you after you pay me! Otherwise, I will store it for my next lifetime. Todd

Okie dokie! Will try to call you tonight.

Way to go Paul! You need to open a box and mail store!

The Gen 1 wagon will fit the Gen 1 BRAT The 2 door and the 4 door sedan 2 will also. The 2 door hardtop, (GF) and the 2 door coupe, (FE) WILL NOT FIT. I may have a used one.

I have the shelf below the glove box. It does have a small speaker hole in it, but you can repair that. Make an offer with the stamp if interested. subaru3@aol.com Todd

No harness....

That's what I need!!

Yipee:headbang: I'm happy for you!
