Well this is a special case...as you probably know, there are only 4 key combinations and I believe Ed has all four. You could've dropped him a line and he'd have sent you copies (of all of them) at his cost. But you're willing to do it for someone in Texas that you've never met? Sorry...had to do it. No one has ever asked me for ID for an older Soob either (I was asked for a driver's license but not proof of ownership when I lost my Forester keys). Back to 1987.5 as of this writing, I think they're purging one m/y from the computer a year though. Better hurry... (they were able to replicate my '87.5 XT Turbo key last month but not an '86 3-door key.)

Never forget your roots, young man! Welcome home.

There's a breather tube under the dash...you blow into the tube, which feeds the intake valves, which makes it go faster. No longer "naturally aspirated":lol: You're right, if it's not turboed or supercharged, or have some other kind of forced induction, it is naturally aspirated no matter what other mods are on it. As for maroon, I love it--especially the new Garnet Red on the '05+ Legacies and Mica Red Pearl from the late '80s, code 685 IIRC. I just don't like hatches :cool:

No. There are round headlights in the old gen and new gen forums as well ('80-'82 DLs in the Old Gen and '02-'04 WRXes and Imprezas in the New Gen forum).

My dad slept in the front pass seat of a '78 Brat for over 300 miles out of a 500 mile trip (Albany, NY to Latrobe, PA). So much for helping with the driving.

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/specs/general/1987xt10.html http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/specs/general/specyears.html It's also possible that the wagons I had were repainted (both were parts cars).

Frank in PA had around 230K on his '92 SVX. I have 245K on an '89 XT6 autospastic, and an estimated 280K on my GL-10 (original mileage on the XT, who knows on the GL0-10) Also have a '94 Justy, original everything including clutch, 117,780 as of today.

Around $1000-1500 if you know a good LTL container broker (I'm still going after those FF1s...)

I've had a couple, a maroon/silver Loyale and a blue/silver GL wagon. Check the main page for the color combinations and years, there's an entire page with the model, year, engine type and color combo and paint code on this site.

Unless he's got a Brat, he's not in the right spot. What car? :confused: Remember if the build date is 11/79 it's probably MY1980.

None of the EA82 DLs I've had have had lumbar support. Neither have the two Justies. Also, the lumbar support in the GL-10 fits my back perfectly (all settings, I fiddle with it on long drives, couldn't live without it). Of course I also have a mild case of scoliosis, could make a slight difference...

Trudy, it's not the Brat, it's the Vermont cheese they're after!

Light metallic green on the '85s and '86es is by far the worst, in my humble opinion. I wasn't too fond of the orange on the Gen 1s either...but it grew on me after I got my '73.

The dial is on the headrest, it's the headrest fore and aft adjustment for the driver and front passenger seats.

Electric windows means it's a GL or GL-10. The GL will most certainly have the dual-range 5-speed gearbox. The GL-10 will probably have pushbutton 4WD, but also have deluxe interior, power sunroof, digital dashboard, etc. It's probably carbureted but if it's a GL-10 it may also have a fuel injected turbo setup. Good luck!

'88 was the last year for carbureted EA82s, Justys were carbureted or EFI throughout most of the model run (I think '91 or '92 was the last year for the carb) and the EA81 hatch died off in '89. Rust is still a major force to be reckoned with, and for that reason I'd have to say your best bet is an early '90s Legacy wagon, a very well maintained Loyale (which still had subpar rustproofing), or even an earlier Imp or Legacy. Although the Justy is a very well-engineered car, it's hard to find parts for and not as cheap to fix as it looks. (It is, however, very inexpensive to maintain.)

zyewdall, that's kinda my point--he'll be putting $225 into something that will never be roadworthy again; that will never hold an alignment again; and that will require extensive modifications (d/r tranny at the least--and into a rotted hulk of a car) for any kind of offroad use. To me it's just not worth it. If I'd been given the car, maybe...and that's still a big maybe. Plunking down cold hard cash for something rotted so bad the struts are coming through the cargo area is something else, though.

You'll need something like a Haynes manual from your area of the world to decode your VIN. However, the plate on the driver's door post should have the production date stamped on it, mm/yy format, if it's still there.

You lent Bucky to Paul for a day when he moved the FSCR. :-p

The hot-rodded Swift was the GTi--until Volkswagen sued because they thought people would confuse a Suzuki with a Veedub. VW still has exclusive rights to the GTi nameplate in the States, and the Swift GTi became the Swift GT after the suit was settled. The Swift and Justy engines are exactly the same, if you happened to buy a Euro-market Justy after 1994. 1994 and earlier (encompassing ALL Justies sold in the states), the only commonality was the number of cylinders, as Bushbasher has already stated. Suzuki-made Justies were sold ONLY in Europe and utilize Subaru 4WD transmissions, a result of some convoluted General Motors scheme to bleed even more red ink... (Subaru and Suzuki were both part-owned by GM at the time, hence the parts bin sharing; GM also sold Swifts abroad as the Holden (Australia/NZ) Barina and in North America under the Geo/Chevy Metro and Pontiac Firefly nameplates)

Probably easier to swap the whole door, if you happen to find doors in the correct color code.

Wow...that's a '95 UK market Justy, if I'm not mistaken...less than 10K produced worldwide. (It's a Suzuki Swift 5-door hatch with a Subaru 4WD trans...but most of them were the '96 bubble body style, and later)

No. That rust is not easily repairable. It'd be better to find one with a decent (not perfect, but still somewhat roadworthy) body for a hundred bucks and throw an engine/trans in it. There are no parts on that car worth $200 unless it's got new tires--probably a high mileage SPFI engine, high mileage clutch assembly, high mileage single-range pushbutton trans, chintzy DL-style cloth and vinyl interior. Run, don't walk, away from this heap. (Free is a different matter... )

Technically, yes. But in this case, the dashboard was being removed from the VIN...and the burden is on the state to prove otherwise. There's a loophole in everything if you look hard enough.

The mudflaps on those are actually screwed to the back bumper. There wasn't any room any place else...
