You could get those graphics on any Daytona, regardless of engine. I looked up the times, a turbo Daytona would outrun your 2.5RS, especially if you have an automatic. So yes, whether or not it has a turbo kinda does matter. Go race a WRX if you think it doesn't.

God. I think those Daytonas are junk, but they're still decent enough to be worth defending against ricers..err.."sport compact import enthusiasts" whose knowledge of cars is pretty much limited to "RsX 0wNz j00!!!!111"

silent_jay

Alright first off MY CAR IS NOT A RICER, and neither am I , I love how you assume this because I drive a Subaru did ya put a lot of thought into it before you called me that? Genius do you know what a 22B is? Or are you clueless? I know where my vote lies. It's not a regular 2.5RS or have you not realised that yet, look up the specs before you come back spouting crap and as for racing a WRX why waste my time when I already know I am faster, and NO I don't drive an automatic don't insult me like that.
Once again not a ricer, and I love how I use 1 car for a compao., and suddenly I want to fuck the car or something, jesus man get over it I DON'T HAVE SOME STRANGE CRUSH ON THE RSX so stop talking like it's the onlt thing I talk about, or are you running out of points and keep going back to this, it's kinda stupid if you ask me, I love how you assume all I know about is the RSX why? or do you have no reasons for this? Defend your POS Daytona all you want my Subaru will still be running fast when they are all in the crusher.

God what have a started!


Why do all my threads I start turn into a war? Just look at the GTO thread and you will get what I mean!

silent_jay

Yeah really thjat was you too, you're bad luck. Do you know what a 22B engine is? So far I seem to be the only one.

Im not into jap cars....so I never heard of it but Im guessing its got some balls

irseg

I didn't call you a ricer. Awfully defensive about that though, aren't we? I didn't see the part about your car having the 22B engine. It's not every day you come across that. Got any pics?

silent_jay

remove this post please if possible i screwed up.

sounds like ricer to me, changed to SCC enthusiasts. not defensive just tired of being called that, my other car is an 83 Cougar with 70,000KM on it and in mint shape never seen a winter.

Here's the engine, you don't wanna know what this thing cost me to get just robbery, I could have bought another car for the price I paid for the engine.

I love my engine

OMG so that eninge better be fast....what are the spec of that thing?

Scorps

Another thing I'm buying this car just because I want something that is somewhat rare in here in Kingston and well it turns heads!

I'm not buying the thing to race people everyday, if some ricer want to race I will do it but I wont be doing it every stop light!

silent_jay

a) they aren't rare
b)they don't turn heads
c)be careful for the ricers their cars won't blow the engine, yours will.

there were only 7500 built in 1987. i call that rare.
i won't comment on your other statements because by now i figured out there is not much hope for you anymore. good luck silent jay.

silent_jay

not much hope, how?explain? they don't turn heads, unless it's to puke, PT buy the car we'll meet in Napanee and race it up, I'll show you what a real car and a real head turner is. 7500 doesn't sound very rare

the engine they have on the webpage looks like yours excactly. seems you copied the picture. so what do you really have? ahhhh nevermind i don't care lol.

TopRamen66

Or....gasp! Mabey he has a blue 2.5RS with a 22B in it!

Probably because he's got a 22B man!

cr25ovet

and even the picture is taken the same way. yes SURE LOL

MarkeyMarc

yeah but remember "thesez cArs R PoS, gO 2 KcaR KruSheR!!11!!." so I guess hat means only about 5 of them are still alive...

You were talking shit about the guy in the link that is running his Daytona in the 11's saying "so much money invested in it" yet you bought and dropped in an expensive ass motor for your 1996 Subaru???

The last time I checked NONE of the Subaru’s (new or old) was easy on the eyes. If your car turns any heads the person will probably be laughing their ass off.

silent_jay

I was talking shit about the guy with the Daytona because he was modding up a piece of shit, and a waste of time, where I on the other hand, dropped an expensive ass motor into a sweet ass car, people just don't laugh their asses off, they actually appreciate that this is a rally car, and a damn fine looking one at that, unlike someone like you who well I'm not going down that road.
Well let's see, I never said the engine in the picture was mine, although I do have one, you asked for a pic of the engine and I provided you with one, let's face it they look the same whether it be in this car or in my car.

I appologise that I don't have a camera to take a picture of the actual engine, I really have no use for one, and I can't justify that purchase just to take pics of my car, but yes the car is Subaru Blue, with gold rims, and yes it does have the 22B engine believe it or not I could care less.

Translation please I don't speak gibberish, and sure maybe there are only 5 left, but why quote what I typed if you have no intention of discussing the quote, all you did is spew some gibberish that may or may not be english, you never actually said why 7500 is rare. That number isn't rare for anything, not a car, painting, gun, sculpture, nothing, it's 7500 that's a pretty high number to be considered rare.

ya I don't get what he is trying to say there either.

But as I type this the Daytona is at at shop. and ym mechanic is going to get a price on a long block.

I don't know if I should get the long block or just get the block rebuilt?

irseg

Actually, most people I know consider Subarus to be primarily for soccer moms and ex-hippie college professors who can't afford Volvos. They make some cool cars, but nobody really says "OH MY GOD!! DID YOU SEE THAT SUBARU THAT JUST DROVE BY!!!"

Pain Train - please tell me you at least got the price down a bit.

Scorps

no I couldn't beat him down....but if I sell the hood I can get 900 for it

silent_jay

Well last time I checked, I wasn't a soccer mom, and I'm only 26 so nope not an ex-hippie, maybe the people you know haven't seen the right Subaru drive by, I mean if all you see are Forresters and Legacy's then ya they are normally driven by the people you mentioned, but I'm pretty sure when people see the STI go by in full rally trim with the 555 up the side and the Subie symbol yellow and bright people say "OH MY GOD!! DID YOU SEE THAT SUBARU THAT JUST DROVE BY!!!", maybe you just can't appreciate a real rally car and that's why you keep defending that Daytona.

So you are buying the car for 1600, hopefully getting 900 for the hood, instead of getting a long block you should look at a different car maybe, naw just kidding you seem pretty solid on purchasing this thing, but remember when it does break all the nice people on the 1st page of this thread who advised you against it.

Well I bought it already...ad I said I could get around 700 to 1000 for the hood but im not selling it unless someone gives me a shit load of money for it!


Im hoping it doesn't brake

silent_jay

I hope it doesn't break as well

the funny part was me and my buddy fallowed the tow truck in from Verona good half hour drive and when we got to Kingston it was turning heads and it was on the back of a tow truck....HEHE


I had it towed because there is no insurance on it and hell if I get caught again with no insurance I will be done for! I would have loved to drive it to town, but hell I go out to my buddies place a lot so I will be driving out there a lot more...LOL

Probaly get a speeding ticket the first week I have it ont he road!

silent_jay

it was turning heads on the back of the tow truck because people were saying there goes another Daytona that won't run, sorry man I just can't believe that these things turn heads, we have about 15-20 in my town and no one likes them other than the people that drive them, especially people with a remotely fast car because these kids are always up for some fun, but to each his own enjoy.

well, i can see i got here too late and the thread has already been reduced to name calling and grammar arguements.

if you must go with an 80's chrylser product, go with the Chrysler Conquest TSI, or its mitsubishi counterpart, the Starion. great turbo 2.6 litre race cars. 80's styling that can still turn heads today (if properly restored and cared for). if you can get your hands on one of these for $1600...THEN you have a good starting point for a great, FAST, ride.

Scorps

this one needs some work but it will live on

Scorps

Well I just go tback from my mechanic shop....this car is got some rot on the frame....but nothing a friends of the family can fix

I think my shop is screwing me...they say I need a new rad, but I looked at it, I used to work in Automotive, so im not stupid when it comes to a project car!ya project cars need work...

The good news is it might only need a Turbo, because the engine doesn't bang and make a lot of noise...so thats the good thing

silent_jay

yet.

no see if the rings where fucked you would hear the engine make some noise....this thing purrs like a kitty

irseg

If your mechanic can't even tell whether it's blowing oil because of a bad turbo or rings (which likely won't make any noise if they are bad, BTW), find someone else NOW. It's pretty easy to tell. A bad turbo will dump oil into the intake. A clogged PCV valve will too if you're really lucky, since it only costs about $2 to replace. Bad rings will blow a lot of exhaust into the crankcase.

You should also check out the turbo. Take off the intake piping so you can reach the impeller, and wiggle it around. A very slight amount of back and forth/side to side play is okay (the bearings fill up with pressurized oil when the car is running so it's normal for them to wobble slightly with the engine off), but if there are any scrape marks inside or if impeller moves enough to touch the housing, it's toast.

Structural rust on a unibody car is never good. I don't know what safety inspections are like up there but you might want to find out if you could even get it to pass before putting any money into it.

silent_jay

With the structual rust and the turbo being done, don't you think that someone might have been rodding the piss out of the car to cause this problem? I agree with irseg check the safety requirements, I'm not even sure what they are up here, but dump money into the money pit if it isn't roadworthy?

Well irseg said that done rings wouldn't make noise so maybe my mechanic is dumb, I'm moving it soon to my buddies mechanic, who has worked on this car before, so they can tell me if the turbo is fucked or not. Also this car was safetied not to long ago so it should pass again...I Hope!

Scorps

Took some pics of my car just the other day

silent_jay

ya it's a Daytona.
