March 10, 200521 yr Well after all the time and money we have spent on the GSR you wonder if it is worth it when some loser runs there key down the side. My son who is at uni went up to his flat(apartment) for no more than 5min and when he came back down the GSR had been keyed. He is now bringing the car home for safe keeping but he shouldn't have to. If the person got caught they would only get a slap on the hand by the police. Very p***ed off.
March 10, 200521 yr A subaru-restauration is never worth it, because you will never ever get the $$$ you put into your old soob. I paid 2800 Euro for my car, put 1000 Euro into it and it is around 1000 Euro worth. Lukas
March 10, 200521 yr Author This old sub is different just ask moosens and I have already been offered more than it owes me but I will never sell it because it is one of the rearest you could find. I have a75 DL1400 to restore yet and will post photos of it soon. Just dont under stand some peoples mentality when they damage someones pride and joy for no reason.

March 10, 200521 yr I know what you mean - someone did it to my car outside uni last year (wasnt the subie though). Its just so pointless. Some poeple just suck!
March 10, 200521 yr this is why I like having garages:D I can park my car in it and lock it up without having to worry about it too much
March 10, 200521 yr point a cheap webcam out the window, aimed at where you park. that way you can get a picture of the person's face
March 10, 200521 yr point a cheap webcam out the window, aimed at where you park. that way you can get a picture of the person's face Thinking more towards 12ga., 00 meself............ But,,,,,,, that's just me.
March 11, 200521 yr Sorry to hear about the damage.Losers! Yes,the GSR is way too special to those who have some tie to the early years of Subaru. Dual carb'd 1400 w/93 hp at around 4800rpm(??) 10:1 pistons and a good amount more lobe to the cam.Sure they aren't worth what the Z cars of the early 70's are but to us they're worth dumping $2-3,000 USD's into them. My '73 Coupe will be about as close to the GSR as you're likely to find here in the USA.Except we got the lesser powered EA62
March 11, 200521 yr sad to hear about that ... it's amazing ... the lower your IQ, generally the more distructive you are ... on that note ... I SECOND the motion on the 12 GA but never mind the 00 buck shot ... I'd use rocksalt ... I'd rather they scream in pain than die
March 11, 200521 yr dont worry its worth it. your subaru gsr even with the key mark is worth more then any old gen car in the usa......
March 11, 200521 yr Author Thanks for the comment .Feeling better. But I wouldnt use a shotgun. I have a SKS semi auto , much more fun. dont worry its worth it. your subaru gsr even with the key mark is worth more then any old gen car in the usa......
March 11, 200521 yr Yes,watching them get stung several times while trying to figure out which direction they should attempt to flee in,that's the sport of it all.
March 11, 200521 yr Thanks for the comment .Feeling better. But I wouldnt use a shotgun. I have a SKS semi auto , much more fun. Yeah, but then you'd be made out to be the criminal - wheres the justice in that?
March 11, 200521 yr I feel like a real n00b around seriously old-school Subies. Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is a GSR?
March 11, 200521 yr I feel like a real n00b around seriously old-school Subies. Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is a GSR? Take one of these: Then add a 10:1 comp,dual carb EA63S and that'd be a GSR
March 11, 200521 yr subygsr please post a pix of your car for us again... also didnt you pick up a new suby not to long ago....
March 11, 200521 yr Author You can see the GSR in the photo gallery but I will send some with it lowered when my son brings it back home. Paul that photo is exactly how the GSR looked before we did it up. Same color,strips and everything. Yes we do have a 74 GSR still haven't picked it up yet. Am taking some photos of the DL1400 tommorrow and with post them in the weekend. subygsr please post a pix of your car for us again... also didnt you pick up a new suby not to long ago....
March 11, 200521 yr Kevin,be sure to correct me on any info.I look at my old Factory Service Manuals and get all bug eyed when I look over at the spec's of the GSR EA63S.
March 12, 200521 yr Author No worries . The guy in Cromwell who owns a wrecking yard for old subies has the correct specs for the hotted up GSR and has original brochures for them as well. Keep by your phone (ring ring) Kevin,be sure to correct me on any info.I look at my old Factory Service Manuals and get all bug eyed when I look over at the spec's of the GSR EA63S.
March 12, 200521 yr I'll be available all day Saturday.Not sure if my phone carrier is going to whack me for out of country calls,so email if you don't mind and we'll talk real soon,I'm sure. Let me know what you see that would help me out for my "GSR". Do you know if the dual carb I have for a 1600 is the same?I'm pretty sure it'll work,but was looking for any experience regarding the exchange. My '73 could really use: driver's seat-black w/white center dashboard rear side window-but I can get that here easy enough,I think.
