Does it use any oil? nipper

I would walk away. Carpets need to be replaced. Seats need to be replaced. Possibly all door peices need to be replaced Unknown and multiple electrical issues (ECU TCU and Air Bag controller) So many electrical connectors. Possible water in the diffs Seized Brakes Water in hidden parts of the body that can cause unseen rust.

I may have to go evil again. The Justy's "direct fit" cat and pipe I got from Walker is neither direct nor fit. The pipe from the cat to the engine is about 2-3 feet too short. I am waiting to hear from walker as to what I am not understanding. Everyone seems to have the same pipe, maybe the Justy or subaru are wrong.

Thats how mine was ! The springs were fine and still springy. The donut gasket blew out. It is just there as a flex joint.

It was really odd. I expected rust. One head was rusted away, nothing to grab. the other side the hex was intact. No problem. Cut off the rusted head, knock out the bolt. HA Damn bolt wouldnt budge, even with a drift and a 10 lb sledge, thats whaen i saw the flange was shot. I wasnt about to go through the same thing on the other side. I wish i had a torch but no where to keep it nipper

Hehehe no, nothing there i like. the evil place is Honda. Though i do have a soft spot for the Suziki SX4 and Jeep Wrangler.

Ok I got a walker "direct fit" exhaust system. It fits fine from the muffler to the rear cat. From the cat to the front of the engine it is way too short. Maybe it just removes the flex pipe and attached to the exhaust before the flex, but I am not sure. The justy has a flat battery so I couldnt look underneath it today. Heck I dont even know if it has enough power to get up ramps . Anyone else run into this? nipper

http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/en_b11/type_29/exhaust_system/exhaust/illustration_2/ Right where parts 14 15 16 17 are Those flanges, the one on the cat was rotted.

Blu had been getting noisey. The donut and flange (I didnt know about the flange) after 267,000 miles gave up. Doesnt anything last anymore? I tried and tried untill i saw the rotted flange. I called Meineke. I told them I did not want a cat otherwise I would find another shop (the cat flange was rotted). They cam back with 154.00 to put in a sleeve (85.00 an hour 1 hour minimum). They actually charged by the weld. I had it in my mind 100.00. I was there, the car was on the lift, no other mufler shop in town. I bit the bullit. I hope Blu is happy now as he has been getting jelouse of the justy.

Lets back up a bit. how many miles, and is it an auto (i never assume). Does it sound louder on turns? I would inspect the front CV joints first and look for torn boots.

www.cars101.com has instructions how to reset it. nipper

Videos are usless as they pick up all the noises. Does it come from the front of the engine (a timing belt part) or the middle or the rear (cracked flex plate). Remove all the drive belts start the car and using a broom handle, wooden dowel etc stick one end on your ear and probe around with the other. Check the engeni too.

Is this an engine knock?

As with any issue like this, the very first step is a full tuneup. Does it just cut out or does it stmble then stall. Try shifting right to Neutral then putting it in D with your foot off the brake, does it run or stall with a lurch?

Been talking to DustysJusties. Heis considered to be the Guru of Justies. He said one can use a straight pipe. Thanks all. When it gets on the road i will go to amuffler shop and see if they can do it cheaper then the part costs.

Local as in high school dropouts working there are local as in mom and pop?

The one in the Justy is farily, er um, rigid. They are tuned not to transmit engine vibartion and movement. Yhere is a lot more forces from the engine then from your hands. This may also solve a problem I have had with Blus exhaust system since the lift. nipper

wohoo thats a start

that may work Gee resale value on a Justy ... hrmmmm resale goes up as gas prices do, and no one cares what it looks like:) it is last on my list of things to do. As my father said, if it looked good at 60,ph he was happy, and this doesnt. nipper

Okso then i have to restore the paint on the roof. Luckily it is just the roof nipper

http://www.automotivetouchup.com/spray_paint.asp this seems to be the company everyone uses. nipper

I figured i would ask here since nothing else is working. Anyone have a source for exhaust systems? Its an 89 2dr 2wd.

I need the mid-pipe that has the flex joint. All aftermarket pipes omit the flex joint. I have an email into 1st subaru to see if this even exists anymore (it is listed on the website but a bit pricey) nipper

The clearcoat on the rof of the justy is shot. Si there any way of fixing this without repainintg the roof? This would be a spray-can job with the proper matching paint and proper clear coat. nipper
