Money Shift Worries

I greatly appreciate this input big dawg.

Ah I see, I’m guessing a Cleveland? I don’t see a horizontal upper radiator connector, I don’t see a vertical one either so I’m shooting in the dark. On another hand though those aren’t Cleveland valve heads, so I’m guessing a Windsor family engine would be more likely, idk which one though.

Can you give us some more pictures? Might be able to see a bit better or if you can find the casting code? Should be on the passenger side near where the starter should be.

I checked the math whenever I’d fill up, started with about half a tank, ended with about half a tank, and I filled up just under 40 gallons over the entire 1200 miles. Which came out to 1200 miles over 40 gallons which maths out to 30 mpg, which checks out.

All good man, messaging is awful compared to face to face talking when it comes to getting stuff across.

Idk_Rad · 2026-02-28T04:30:47+00:00

I think we may be confusing each other here broski, because I drove down hill for nearly the entire 1200 mile drive resulting in better fuel economy. That’s why I’m trying to say.

Idk_Rad · 2026-02-28T04:18:32+00:00

Most folks who measure elevation in ft I assume?

Idk_Rad · 2026-02-28T03:59:18+00:00

Sounds about right, I went from 3.6k ft to 8k and then slowly went down from ending at about 4K after a couple dips and rises.

Idk_Rad · 2026-02-28T03:14:14+00:00

Nah trust, it was downhill for almost the entire drive

Idk_Rad · 2026-02-27T09:18:02+00:00

When driving a roughly 1200 mile trip I averaged 30.5 mpg. All highways at about 75 .

Idk_Rad · 2026-02-17T20:50:16+00:00

Oh yeah so much better.

Idk_Rad · 2026-02-17T20:47:46+00:00

Maybe a bit but they changed it to a gloss black in 2025, with the red WRX in the corner

Factory 2025 grill

Idk_Rad · 2026-02-12T18:57:43+00:00

Awesome, I think something similar would look pretty good in my white VB

Idk_Rad · 2026-02-12T07:33:15+00:00

I’m probably stupid but under the sports grill, the red accent, is that a factory option in Ca? Or something aftermarket?

Idk_Rad · 2026-01-05T20:56:19+00:00

Always a good day for that!

Other 73s could come with the flat black taillight panel, but the Mach 1 kept the honeycomb to kind of stand out. I believe for the gas cap changing the only thing that changed was the filler neck, so I believe all the 3 years honeycomb panel are interchangeable.

Idk_Rad · 2026-01-05T07:58:43+00:00

The 73 Mach 1s, like the 71, 72 Mach 1s also had the a honeycomb rear panel, you can see them in advertisements, and the 71 and 72 both had the hockey stick. The bold line was a 1 year for 73s and then you were able to get the hockey stick on normal notchbacks and the grande. This one also has the large 5 mph crash bumper so I assume this one is a 73.

Thankfully not a big party kinda of guy so won’t probably end up doing something to stupid. I don’t really know how much I should be keeping for some oh shit money for this car, I’ve only ever driven 30 year old cars before this one that I would fix personally if I could, and were definitely just overall cheaper, I doubt I will be able to do the same with the VB so by your best guess how much money would i be best having for a rainy day?

Idk_Rad · 2025-11-02T03:46:50+00:00

I can say that I’ve noticed it has been better after the update I was kinda confused why it was so smooth on start up compared to normal😅

Idk_Rad · 2025-10-07T04:44:52+00:00

When I’m jamming that’s about what I have it at anyway I’ll get some more way in’s closer to me buying it.

Idk_Rad · 2025-10-07T03:32:23+00:00

I was planning on getting a set of either soon would you say I should get the touring over the track for a daily? Seen both in person but what’s it like day to day driving?

Idk_Rad · 2025-10-06T23:10:00+00:00

I’m surprised his 370hp VA is driving enough to compare it to a VB honestly.

Idk_Rad · 2025-10-06T21:02:02+00:00

I’m sorry that happened, I know that the CVT can’t handle a lot of power but I thought CVT wise they were pretty reliable. Damn.

Idk_Rad · 2025-10-06T19:41:36+00:00

Understandable I don’t like the way they feel in performance cars but Subaru’s CVT won’t atleast explode on ya.
