what kind of subie are you talking about?

yes and be sure its secure

it also can break the head

i love the shape of that car! :-p

that is it.. the atf act with dirt to make crystals that can scratch the surfaces, but the more risky is the oil pump becuase the way it presurises oil, atf does not dissolve dirt as the engine oil detergents do

we have two, the loyale is still running but the rex is retired becuase damaged engine and breaks, and other small things but we are trying to fix it..

dad says it kill the oil pump

i sugest to forget the automatic and search for manual, it is bettter

dad says that gearing down at high rpm can make the rings of the pistons to wear faster, very faster

i saw the one with casette and cd, but it was an aftermarket one, from clarion. it was in a 97 subaru outback.

yes, cars with manual gearbox makes better mileage and can perform better too

i like too much that car, but let me tell you that those cars are not rare here you can see many still running great.

Parts for a 1981 Subaru Rex front whel drive (the 4WD is Called Sherpa, instead of Rex) Any Parts Welcome! and the internet place to buy them too :-p

My Dad is Mechanic, and says to avoid the use of synthetic oil in older engines, becuase the seals are not prepared for that, and will worn faster and leak.

I was in a long trip, for visit uncles, cousins, etc; and to search for parts for my rex still nothing.

where is the vin number ?

just as plug and play, you can rip off the subie horns and install with the same wires, a pair of bosch loud horns, that pair comes in one box (souns like a bmw)

congratulations !! ...... pictures please..

you can repair the car, but the important here is that you did not received any hurt

you shoulda know our roads something similar did hapen to our loyale, it was just the positive ventilation valvle (PCV) on the intake manifull.. it happens becuase the car position and the bad valvle

congratulations, i like your car and the work done..... but i still think about the pink over the white... ...maybe a line, short in front and wider in the back?

thank you for your replies, i know the sherpa, here came as a 4x4 version of the rex.. instead of searching in internet, dad is searching for a nice donor car to swap some parts.. he also thinks that he could (maybe) swap engine an trasmission with another brand, i am pretty scared about that..... i will write back here with the results of the "REX QUEST"

(just to say it) ME TOO! i love the early brats.....

YES! THE PINK PANTHER PAWS!!! :headbang:i love the pinkpanther too

is no the same justy, becuase justy is bigger and has 3 cylinder, the Rex is smaller and only has 2 cylinder my rex is in pieces, because it was originally from a dad´s client at his mechanic repair shop.. the past owner could not find some parts to repair the engine, and then time passed by. dad did buy it for me, becuase i like that tiny beautiful car, and in the family is another subaru, and i wanted that small one for me when i go to the university, but it still may take some time to happen. any info i will post here. thanks..
