Hi people, I'm new and just bought a little old subie

Post by SubiDave » Mon Jan 30, 2006 1:47 pm

Hi guys, I have just bought a very cheap bargain of a subie, my reno 19 hatch blew the auto and was gonna be $4000 to fix and the car was worth 5-6k so I was in despair, but now I have got myself a cool little manual late 85 leone, it is in top nick and I got a real bargain, is there anyhting that will give it a little more go, cheers all, Dave

Hi Dave and welcome to the board! Where abouts are you located?

A reasonably cheap boost in power would be to swap the standard carby with a Weber. Also some exhaust mods wouldn't go astray.
