CUL8R Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Christ, How many Subaru's do you have? Can make out 5 in one picture, and then I saw the ones listed in your sig.... I reckon leave standard colour, newer motor (read: more powerful), Lowered on Pursuit style steel wheels with a thin white walls or Redlines..

nzsubbie Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 i dnt think i touch the motor till it desides 2 play up. since the motor has already been rebuilt. the motors had trouble with the wet liners leaking or something? when i do go to play round with the motor it get hotted up an wee bit. also going to drop an 5 speed in to it. just got to find the late 70s front wheel drive 5speed gearbox coz that should bolt straight on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Could you not put a new waterpump on it, fix burst hose, and re-fill it with water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 + a few tests to check for blown headgaskets & other leaks etc, Before pulling engine down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzsubbie Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 yeas i could but also motor had very low oil in it 2. and i had to drive it back with the water leak. had to fill it with river water once 2 lol. i was right out of town and almost no cell reception. so pretty much once it got just over opprating temp then i let it sit for an while to cool down. then i would pour the water i had in it and drive it to till it got that hot again. took an few hours to drive not even 30km. made it to an servo that was open. brought some oil, some duct tape and water stop leak stuff. repaired the leak from the hose with the duct tape. i filled up the oil and poured the stop leak in water more water and that helped slow the leak down managed to drive it bak and wouldnt go over the normal opprating temp which was good. havnt atemped to pull the pump off yet as i still need to move car from where it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
