am preparing to re-install the SVO intercooler on the RX just pipe to pick up and a few fittings to add.

 

final connections will be made once the new engine goes in.

please don't mind the cell phone pic

Changed the oil on my 1986 XT Turbo & found out the source of an odd drivetrain noise, a torn CV boot. I'll order a rebuilt axle from the Subaru axle rebuilders in Colorado if they have any.

Yeah that Justy is sweet! I can't even remember the last time I saw one in this state :-\

I've only seen one Beat up white one in WI once. And that was it - Besides at the junk yard :-\

He looks meaner in person, that is if a CVT Justy can be mean. Going to get the windows tinted. He has a nice buzzbomb sound to him, but the cause is the joint under the drivers seat so i need to get that fixed. The charcoal and blue works.

 

Punch list:

Replace Carb

Service CVT (flush filter)

replace a tire (or all 4 if 4 is cheaper then one)

Fix sunbacked paint

re-re-re-re-re paint tailgate

Fix fuel sender

Go to a exhaust shop and have something fabricated or fixed.

 

I also need to find a upholstery shop that will fix the split seems on the seats. they are not torn just the stitching is dried out. I don't know if he will be on the road this year as he will NOT see roadsalt.

 

 

Driving him is weird. The electric clutch, actually acts like a real clutch. You can feel it engeg just the way a clutch pedal would. Not quite sure what the brake switch does yet (prrbly engine braking). Have the car in drive no pedals they same as having the clutch disengaged. Start pressing the go pedal to make the car crawl (it will do this in Ds but not D) it feels like the same throttle/clutch response as having that third pedal. Take your foot off the gas your back in neutralish.

 

Ds is for actually "Drive Slow". It is used in heavy traffic and for going up and down steep hills, It dramatically lower the gear ratios and allows you to beat Mustangs off the line for a good 20-30 feet :)

I would love to be in the Car when you do that just to see the look on the other guys face. "That little foreign bugger, beat me off the line!)

I used to have a 5speed RS justy 4wd

on the way from its field of sit, it jumped off my friend's trailor and attacked a kia minivan. I wasn't there for that one. I got this car off of the fat guy in the pic (j) then traded it (bad clutch) and a rump roast-ended eclipse back to J for my 93 lego wagon on audi rims.

I watched as my Brat turned over to 100,000 miles. 100,047 as I pulled into the parking lot.

Cool. My legacy was at 99,999 when I pulled into the parking lot for work last summer. So during my lunch break I drove it around until it turned over 100,000.

 

And my legacy just failed inspection :mad:

Rust on a back door. Tires are marginal, he said they'd fail if he was having a bad day..... And a torn steering rack boot. So off to a parts store it is and some wrenching I guess.

I would be skrewed if rust was part of an inspection. I think there is more rust than roo.

 

I'm glad those things don't happen here or there would be more cars used as lawn ornaments.

Some rust is fine usually. It's big rust holes that they don't like.

I picked up a new door for $18 though, so it's all good :)
