Or it's really for your parents but you will be driving it, or think you will be. And I wouldn't be too happy with an FD as a first car, the apex seals break around 50K miles, that one must have a rebuild. Insurence is going to cost way too much, and get into an acident and you're in debt.

But good luck anyway! lol. And if you need work on it bring it over here, my dad's an RX-7 specialist, and has been working on then for over 20 yrs.

I have to pay 1/2. And i just kight one day drive it over to missori when i'm 18 or something

Ah, so you would understand my pain...hey, did this thing have the same horrendous 3 speed auto with the bad torque converter? Mine did...

See, I had a 91, and I can't complain about after the Skyhawk...

What, already? Must be a fun car to drive... :smilewink

Yes to the 3-speed...ugh.

Yeah...I'm not sure what the issue is with the clutch. I've got a service appointment Monday.

Ruf, I donno, I don't think so as some of my frends have motorized scooters or mini bikes. But they probably use them illegally...

Well, since the rev limiter is at 7250...no.

Yup, that's the tranny that put me off auto-trannies for the rest of my days...

Well, I hope the service app't goes OK for ya (read: they find it's Subaru's fault, not yours ).

Lemme guess...950 is the engine's displacement in cubic centiliters? Sounds like the Tercel, though...just drive it flat out all the time, it makes no difference to efficiency or longevity (since the motor is so mildly tuned).

The 323 is a 4 speed luckily for me, and flooring it constently would be funny but the car is loud and I don't want to get it taken from me(it's not really mine...). And I have floored it and can say that it's fast enough to keep floored...

what are you talking about in the olden holden in 1965 to 1968 they had the power glide auto transmission a 2 Speed and now it wasnt just foward and reverse but 2 foward gear ... man that thing could do some unbeleifable speeds in 1st gear

I think Alt would agree that the "3-speed" is not the bad part. Not compared to the crap torque converters that would stop unlocking after a while. The trannies were not especially long-lived, either. If you think the current J-cars are junk, hoo-boy...live with an old one for about a year.

Yeah, it was funny...that was what gave out first. That car had 171,000 miles on it, and I was driving up a hill one day. The RPMs went up, and the MPH went down as the tranny slowly gave out.
