Default So what was your very first subaru owned ??

Well my first subaru was 1984 subaru sports wagon with single range 4wd. I'm 43 now bought that when I was 18,man the thing was one of the most reliable cars I owned the old ea81 never let me down. Did many runs from Lancelin to wedge having the absolute tits revved out of it in the summer heat.
Then had a l series with ea82 which was very reliable except for the noisy lifters. Left subaru for a while and got a car I always wanted last year a Liberty rs turbo.

So come on tell us your subaru story......

Mark

Sold my HSV VS Clubsport in 2002 to buy my first Rex, a MY00.

- Sold it in 2004 to buy a new Monaro.

- Sold that to buy a new MY05 WRX in 2005.

- Sold that in 2006 to buy a HSV VX GTS and I bought another MY00 WRX to go with it, so had 2 toys to play with.

- Sold them both in 2007 to buy a new MY07 STI, my first STI (loved that car)

- Sold that in 2011 to buy a HSV WM Grange.

- Sold that almost immediately to buy a new MY11 STI, well my wife bought that for me actually see here

So that's 5 Subaru's so far...

My STI is now for sale , what next, don't know, but the GEN F supercharged HSV GTS is looking tempting... or maybe wait till the 2L STI is released, or maybe the new Focus RS...

Yep the Vf supercharged gts is a beast the last of too of course and yes the new rs focus looks to have some good specs. Just love the boxer rumble have a hj v8 one tonner as a Sunday car nice v8 sound is hard to beat to.

WTF who is your builder & tuner???

My build is 4 years & 60,000km old now..... 1.6 bar daily......

What has been the cause of your engines committing suicide?

Nice list of cars there Rossco the rotary brap brap is become a rare sound to hear on the street these days. My folks had a kombi travelled across Australia in it in the early seventies they are worth a bit of money these days.

Unknown what the hell happened to your engines was it very bad tuning the last at 2800kms ??
