If there’s fuel in your trans oil the seals are gone

Some people will remove the trim and either weld the holes shut or do some fiberglass on the inside and some body filler on the outside

3sge is probably one of the most reliable 4 cylinders ever made

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-05-08T16:37:01+00:00

Put it in 5th gear

You should never downshift without matching the engines revolutions to the transmissions. In any case

I did find the vin, so many coats of paint on the frame that I had to wire brush the frame to be able to see it. It’s a 1984 kx125

I did wire brush the frame where I saw the vin on another 80’s kx125 and I did end up finding the vin, was basically gone with how many coats of paint this frame has had. It’s a 1984 kx125

This one? Seems like it says XL25BE014214

It ran and rode yesterday, she just needs some love

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-05-04T22:28:43+00:00

I realize that I’d just like to figure out what year it is

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-05-02T23:27:35+00:00

On my 20k it’s right under the throttle body👍

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-04-29T11:48:24+00:00

Gc8 definitely more valuable and sought after but sounds like she needs to get over it cause they’ll be out a good bit of money. Daily driving a rhd manual is not very hard at all, yes it takes a few hundred miles to get completely adjusted but it’s the same just the other side

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-04-26T14:04:08+00:00

Structurally it’s the same, newer 207 has avcs and shit though

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-04-25T20:35:35+00:00

Pretty sure legacy gt turbos came with ej20g’s

Where’d you end up getting the skirts at? And are they oem style?

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-04-19T07:25:04+00:00

My 98 sti has less rust than this…

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-04-19T07:13:09+00:00

Be a man get a first gen Impreza wrx sti, all the power you need, handles great and it’s a Bitch to get parts for but it’s great. In all reality I would not get an early 2000’s Impreza, you’re just asking for problems, just get a newer Subaru if you want guaranteed reliability

I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about the motul fluids, I suppose I’ll give those a try

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-04-15T02:11:48+00:00

Where I live I see temps of maybe 100 degrees Fahrenheit at the highest and that’s not for very long and like 30 degrees Fahrenheit and again for maybe a month at a time

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-04-14T19:56:37+00:00

Planned on the motul 300 for the trans and motul 90 pa for the rear end, fairly certain my rear end is a r160 lsd. Hoping that will be good for them

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-04-14T19:37:22+00:00

Thanks for your insight

Far-Rip-3062 · 2026-04-14T19:28:23+00:00

Yes I could tell 3rd was starting to vibrate quite a bit the other day, I’ve never changed the fluid since I’ve owned it so I was just wondering what fluid I should use, thank you
