I'm probably going to make a few people upset, but for rookies jumping into modifying cars, there's a couple to stay away from and most seem to carry the Subaru badge. Don't grab your pitchforks yet thought because there's reasons as to why cars like the Subaru SVX and Blobeye WRX are ones to stay away from. Whether that's poor performance, terrible rust issues, bad modification support, or just needing more experience in mechanical work than you actually have, it's better to jump into something that's a big "Easier." But what do you think? Agree or disagree, let me know below and don't forget to subscribe - bit.ly/3kXgWr0

Basically though this is true for any old car that came with a factory turbo at this point, it’s been thrashed by someone that didn’t love it enough. Now it’s time for someone who actually wants to restore it to its former glory and love it correctly. Then again rust isn’t a big issue here

I actually bought a brand-new Subaru SVX back in 1991, when they first came out. A year later, my transmission blew up. So he ain't lying. It was under warranty, so it didn't cost me anything.

What exactly do you mean by “don’t beat it up”? Like, don’t put a bunch of random mods on a stock EJ-25 like a big ass aftermarket turbo because it will blow up, or don’t push the car and throw it around? Because if it’s the latter, then how are Subarus reliable? I bought an STI because I want to drive hard, throw it around, clear corners fast, make full use of the turbo and AWD. How is it reliable if I can’t do all that in a car that is supposed to be the street version of a rallying legend?

So far for the blob eye Sti. I never had any issues Transmission or Drive train for 30k miles. Note I bought it at like 93,000 . Dirt fish uses stock stis for rally training people. Your correct about the engine being fragile. I didn't care because. My plan was to rebuild the motor at the proper maintainable powers. Which max for stock like reliability is about 500 whp on 91octane. Mind was 350whp and I drove it hard lol. 500whp with the right parts should go for about 50k miles. Stock Drive train with upgraded clutch. Trust I know first hand.

​@@bryanribey if you're not in the track trying to beat your time, I accelerate gradually, I let the boost build up. I don't do hard downshift juste to be heard, down shift properly if you have to pass someone in the high way, basically use the turbo in your advantage but if you don't need to floor it, don't. The block is aluminum, even civics won't last long with a turbo and driven like a dumb ass. Air/oil separator, turbo timer so you let the oil in the turbo cool down before shutting the engine, 91 Oct is a must. Make sure there's no Carbon build up, oil must always be clean, me personally I don't let it get dirty, and the last thing, if you buy one, rebuild it. It's a race car that been race that you want to race so yeah. They are reliable but expensive to take care of so it get neglected. If you buy one already tune, don't wait and try it. I don't care what the tuner says. Rebuild it.

@@eclpsecomics Modding Saturns, particularly the ones from the '90s when they were an in-house design that no other GM brand had access to, is basically a more modern take on hotrodding - almost no aftermarket, so you find out what fits: one example being hood struts off a late '90s-early '00s F150, with two ball studs off a 300M, and two ball studs off a late '90s Buick LeSabre, for example. That said, I've seen guys make 170whp using all stock parts on that '90s DOHC motor, and the *wagon* body is lighter than a Civic coupe from the same year, the sedan and coupe that much more so.

@@purploid hmmmm, no, they are rotor engines not 4 stroke, in 1 rotation it does intake,combustion,exhaust all 3 add ones. Also rotor engine reliance on combustible oil that get mixed with fuel, either via injection or just regular old pre mix, but it doesn't have valve or cams so it can't be compared to either piston engine, but the reliability is near the same of a 2 stroke, there both engines without cams or valves, and both van rev up to a higher rpm count than 4 stroke, but rotor doesn't relais on exhaust back pressure (i think, might does something but never seen a expansion exhaust on a rotor engine), 2 stoke does relais on back pressure, so 2 stroke is also not similar to rotor. I was only referring basically to burning oil and frequent maintenance, of you ever owned anything 2 stoke, you know what I am talking about (also 1 of the tuning options on rotor are porting, this is also done on 2 stroke)

I work on Subaru and my rule for my own car is unless it is something basic, if the car didn't already come with it then you are not adding it. When I was working at O'Reilly Auto Parts and AutoZone I can't even tell you how many people came in with a problem with their Subaru because they modified something on it and what they were not aware of was depending on what you are modifying you could strip away some of the safety features on it or some of the other features and then you will have nothing but problems afterwards. So is my car I just keep it a basic bitch and yeah I have the LED brake lights and I want to get LED headlights and I'm getting a better radio, but as far as like anything in the engine goes, that thing gets left alone because I don't need it messing with itself because I ran around the original design.
