I don't own a subaru yet:banghead: I am looking for a decent 90-93 justy gl 5spd in or around kansas. I am having no freakin' luck. I will own one, it is a matter of time!!

mometal77 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 welcome kansas to the forum.. there was a justy a few months back on ebay went i think for 700 bucks.. if you do find one i know where there are three here in a junk yard if you need parts.. heck i can get a whole motor efi for 100 lol.. not bad and one had a good rear window.. bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmit Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 You know,I just like the Justy...don't really know why? I have never owned a Subaru but have always wanted one. I also figured it would be cheaper to get one and the mileage woould be pretty good. I only have V8 mustangs to drive now. I did find one close by, but they wanted 1200 for it and I am pretty darn sure there is a rod about to fly out. It might of been the clutch but it still seemed alot of money. maybe i should get it and get another motor... mometal77, i just moved from Lacey about a week and a half ago! Should have got that motor!!!LOL Thanks for the welcome guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubyRan3 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Last time I looked (this week) there were a couple of Justy's listed on e-bay. Both were in pretty good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allouez Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hi! A lot of great people on here, so I'm sure you'll like it. Good luck w/the Justy. I've always wanted to try one...had so many others. And yeah, there were some on E-bay for cheap and in good shape, but maybe not in your area. Let us know if you get one...they're an interesting car in a few ways. Especially the transmission choices. Personally, I've always wondered if they could be made to perform like a Mini....

mschmit Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 well thats the problem. I found one that the body and interior is in really nice shape. It just has a rod slapping around in the crankcase. Are they hard enough to find, to be worth 1200 bucks with a crapped out engine?? I just don't know enough about subaru's, not yet at least!!

mschmit Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 mometel77, i just moved from lacey to Kansas. It would definately be a long drive now. I think i might have a lead on one, but it is carbed... we will see how good a shape it is in person. $2000 seems high for an '88?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmit Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 well I am going to go look at a 1988 justy GL AWD. It is going to cost me`$1100, is that reasonable for this car? The body and interior look pretty good. Anything to look for mechanicaly on the justy? I hope to own my first subaru by tommorrow!!!! Any suggestions on what to look out for on these cars would be great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critical_max Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 1100 sounds like a good deal if it's in good shape. Look for rust, leaks and proper operation of everything, transmission solid, suspension etc. And rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmit Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Well, i bought the justy today!!! I couldn't find any rust and it ran great on the 5 hour drive back. thanks for all the advice!!! Now, what is availble for this car? any good mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draggon Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 start off with a new MSD coil,a set of 8MM plug wires and switch the plugs to NGK,if it doesnt already have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
