I know it's off-topic but what about a Subaru Liberty RS Turbo? I thought they were a pretty good vehicle (pre-WRX)   Rob P ----- Original Message ----- From: Geordie To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 9:25 PM Subject: RE: Subaru Leoni RX Any subaru built pre-WRX (Mid 90's) I wouldn't touch.. IMO they are SHITE.... As you know, the engine crapped out, I see so many of these things that bang and clang coz they've got a bung motor, the lifters get sloppy in them and make a hell of a noise. The trim comes apart inside them.. I dunno ay, $1000 might be too much or it might be a good price. Depends on what you're gunna do with it. If you're gunna paddock bash or rally it then go for it, if you want a reliable car then think about it...   As always, size *DOES* matter.. :) The bigger the better. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Wayne Sent: Friday, 4 April 2003 11:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Subaru Leoni RX Listers,     I am just wondering what a Subaru Leoni RX is like. A mate brought one about 5 years ago for $6500 i think. He now wants to sell it. Its an 85 model with the EA 82 1.8L turbo engine , 5 speed box (front wd & 4wd, but not constant 4wd). The gearbox & clutch is shagged (been like that for about 3 years now), a cv joint is rooted and the tyres are flat. The car body is straight, no rust, interior is good (king of chequred flag pattern) but the paint is oxidized. The engine is an import that was put in about 6 months before the gearbox shit itself. The car is stock, hasnt been messed with, except for the import engine swap, (the original engine shit a head and was going to cost more to fix than the import engine). Its been sitting in his mums shed for the past 3 years an now that hes a family man, wants to get rid of it. He has offered me 2nd dibs on the car at the price of $1000. Are these cars worth it?     The turbo on it is a pisser too. So small.... Does size matter????       Wayne   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
