[Case of te EA82t drinking coolant?]

So I agreed to but this 87 RX for 400bux. Havent paid yet, guy is holding it for me to get next monday or so.

 

Says I can drive it from PA- Md with no problems, other than filling it up with coolant ever 45min or so:burnout:

 

 

So,

 

Only problem is it drinks coolant.

 

In an RS you run low on coolant, your either leaking, milky oil, or smoking. He said this does none of the above. Teh motor was replaced at aroun 3 months old because of a cracked block. Subaru genuine motor installed. But the past year it started doing this. The guys father-in-law even replaced the turbo on it because they thought that might be the problem.

 

Any ideas on what I should look for? I bought it for a car to drive and drive... Dont care about performance lol

Thx!

Power isnt a concern to me. I need soemthing thats going to get from point a to b reliably.

 

The RS is my power car... we are aiming for 350whp. My other car is a jeep wrangler, so its not like I need power lol.

Its been posted here too... but there is an 87 RX coupe, 5 speed for sale for $400 bux.

 

1987 Rx Subaru

1.8 turbo engine, manual 5 speed

2 door hatch back

would be a great restoration project, has a little body rust, and a possible blown head gasket, the car starts, runs and drives

The engine was replaced years ago and has roughfly 70k on current engine

This car has been in the family since 1992.

AWD with differential lock

 

I currently have a 3/4 finished 98 RS with a full v8 jdm swap on it (info found at http://www.gc8sti.net)

 

Should I jump on this thing or what? Im looking to use it as a DD till my car is done then rebuild the motor. (could be 6months max)

 

Oh and you can thank some RS25 guys for posting the link to here :-P
