3 years in eire and not mapped?

[Cooldrft]

Apparently scooby engines are more prone to damage from the low octane fuel than any other jap car.
As gem said ,I wouldn't go buying a scooby if I wanted a cheep,reliable car.

cheap reliable 4wd 2.0 turbo, only a GT4 comes to my mind, very under rated car IMO

[gizmo 5]

the way to look at it is ,if you want a relibale everyday car that wont cost you loads ,then buy a normal car!!! if you want something to drive everyday and bring to trackdays that will cost some money in up keep but not much ,then get a honda...as for the rest everyone has there own thoughts...all i can say is iv had a lot of subarus and have never had any bother..only 1 of them were mapped..any engine is soft in the wrong hands,and that goes for evos ,skylines,silvias the lot...and in some case's even hondas....its just look of the draw ,you could get a good 1 or a bad 1..parts are easy to get for them and not that dear tho...u could get a evo or gsr or gt4 ,but the same thing it could last you years ,or blow up a few days after...every car has its good & bad points..

yeah i was looking at gt4 already but not many mint ones around for around 5k. had my eye on 2 evo3 but both didnt have test and the lads seem dodgy. dont like gsr at all and the hondas are still going for relatively big money because everyone wants them now in recession times... they didnt fall in price like the rwd nissan did. i need to put my s13 in as a p/x and obviously ppl aint taking rwd as good anymore

Id go evo much more reliable car or a gsr 1.8 quick car for the engine size brought 2 in from japan, ive always wanted a subaru but theres soooo many bad stories, on the other hand east coast customs up north do a full rebuild with few uprated bits for around 1k sterling

Its a subaru you WILL need to rebuild it unless you buy an irish or uk spec id import a fresh one and get it mapped otherwise evo all the way

[eileen]

done. i aint risking it. nice car, but guy obviously has no clue.
so no good. before i risk getting a shitbox id rather stick with the nissan and just fit the hbrake and come up with funny excuses when the guards stop me....

"its the lever for the sunroof!"
"my 2nd gearstick, incase original one fails"
"i... dont.... know.... which lever you mean, sirr"
"oh that lever.... sorry, but thats very private.... *shakes boobs*"

why is there this myth evos are more reliable than subarus? get a bad 1 and they both are torture, buy and good impreza and enjoy it, plenty of nice 1s for 5k

Irish ones are just as bad unfortunately. I loved my brothers one but it broke the poor chaps heart. He paid 14k for it and sold it for 4k after 3 years and only got 1 years worth of driving out of it.

Eileen I know where there's a nice Supra that you could swap your S13 for.
