(goldfish) Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks for all the replies! I ended up buying a '97 Subaru Legacy GT. I would have liked to pick up a classic Datsun to drive daily but this Subaru fits my needs better at this time. Once my Z31 is complete I will be picking up an older Z to build. That's the 2.5l DOHC, isn't it. Watch the head gaskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delasangre4231 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yep. Any Subaru with the 2.5 has known headgasket issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trbulnt Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Correct on the Head Gasket issues being common. Both head gaskets, water pump, tensioner and timing belt were just replaced 6 months ago for the same cost I paid for the car. Oh and I did pick up an older Z today at the chicago auto show as well as some nice wall art!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(goldfish) Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yep. Any Subaru with the 2.5 has known headgasket issues. Really only the DOCH, 95-00. Not so much with the SOCH up to 04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
