A hard choice.

Post by ONGAS » Sat Jun 28, 2008 10:43 am

Hi all my names Justin, I'm new to this forum and looking to get a subi wagon. At the moment own a magna VR-X(which i'm selling :fuel prices) and a 1971 HG holden V8 on gas and whatever subi i get will be converted to gas.

As i know next to nothing about subi's i'd like your help here are the two most likely one's i'm looking at:
http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-car/SUB ... x?State=WA
http://www.ausubaru.com.au/showthread.php?t=10516

Any info on pro's and con's for these models would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Justin.

what ever you do get it checked out if you go the turbo car...it looked pretty darn good too...you dont want to buy a warn turbo....not costly to fix but you want to avoid problems if you can...ask the guy selling it if he minds you having it checked over by a machenic..if its all ok he will say ok but if he trys to put it off then he could be trying to hide something...my thoughts anyway...good luck with it...bill

also to not sure how well the ej20turbos run on gas, and there is not alot of space in the engine bay for any gas setup stuff.
