April 13, 20187 yr Hi guys new to the forum just bought my first Subaru Impreza gx bug-eye and it seems to be nothing but problems ready to pull my hair out
April 13, 20187 yr Hi, there’s plenty of people on here who have expertise in all aspects of mechanics. I’d put on what the issues are and a few photos if it’s something visual and go from there. What year bugeye have you got? Is it modified? How many miles and has it got a good service history?
April 13, 20187 yr Author I've probably been a bit stupid but no history on a 2002 it's got a major overheating problem and rust issues will post some pictures when I get it up on the ramp Sent from my TA-1024 using Tapatalk
April 13, 20187 yr Overheating could be as simple as an airlock in the system. I’d have it sniff tested. Who was it’s last owner or was it from a garage? As for the rust put some pics on. If I had some of the underneath of mine when I bought it I’d put them on. It had overall body corrosion as an advisory on mine 2 years ago and I got rid of that last year. It took a good few hours, a wire brush, some rust treatment, and paint. I could of undersealed it but it’s only out in the summer so there was no need.
April 13, 20187 yr Author Smoking a lot of white smoke so think it's the head gaskets in garage soon will post some pics of the corrosion as it's a bit more than surface the bottom radiator mount is almost completely gone Sent from my TA-1024 using Tapatalk
April 23, 20187 yr Author Welcome! Not the best start . Are you planning on seeing it through? Completely in 2 minds about it thinking about parting it out and just moving on to a new 1 Sent from my TA-1024 using Tapatalk
