The Galant is back in the shop - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Bob Danger · 2005-04-04, 10:43 PM

The GVR-4 went back into the shop today, to work out some oil issues. It was fun driving it for the weekend, to bad it wasn't up to par or it would have been at Stead this weekend. it'll be done this week hopefully running well, then the only question is whether or not to keep it. Its a good car, but being in college and after i move out, it'll be my only car, and i'd want something a little more reliable. I'd rather not by a new car. Maybe i could find a old Miata, or a AE86, even a second generation NA Rx-7, as a second car. I don't know, i'll figure something out. Any Suggestions

It all depends on the number of cars you want. If only one, you really need to find something that will fit our climate (I know you don't care about snow, but a Miata isn't a "winter car") as well as something that is appealing to you.

Keep this in mind: You are asking for suggestions for a future car on a Subaru board...

I saw you driving it, so I guess its good to go?

Its running good, besides for the boost leaks. Anybody know a easy way to track down boost leaks. And the Exhaust i despise it. Its so horrible, and i have no sterio so thats all i have to listen to.

ej20 swap should fix all those problems.

She's all fixed and running strong, so theres no need for a EJ20 swap, if it was a 1987 Subaru GL then that would be a different story.
