jumbojimbos3 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 hi guys, new to the forum and the scooby scene I'm looking at buying my first Subaru, being a Bugeye WRX (not everyone's cup of tea, but I like them 😂) I know that rust on the rear arches is a well known issue, is there anything else I should look out for? common issues/problems? Any advice is greatly appreciated Cheers Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 There's a buyers guide for common issues (think it's in the impreza section) Most things apply to both bug n blob tbh. Rust areas are rear arches , suspension turrets and inner sills .front lower crossmember and u brace (subframe) Rear shocks knock at low speed when worn. Hear it start from cold ,to check for piston slap and smoking . Avoid cars with a Lack of Good regular oil changes and ones with mods that haven't got proof of being mapped . Good luck with the search 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
