Not a subaru.
Was doing some aerobatics training with an instructor and he was pilot in command and responsible for pre flight.
Got out to training area and we were at the top of the first loop when the canopy began to get covered in oil..
Flew back and when we checked the oil dipstick/cap was gone..
It must have landed somewhere out by Ashhurst ..
Instructor was growled at by his chief /boss..
Have you driven the car or heard it running?
Does the water temp stay in the normal range when worked hard?
Is there any strange noises coming from the front of the motor/timing belt area?
Uncommon for the belt to break unless one of the bearings seizes..
Sometimes you have to cross your fingers and hope..
The joys of buying someones troubles..
Good luck..
Was driving over to Eketehuna yesterday and between the track and Pahiatua i spotted a black legacy approaching from behind at speed.
I was doing 110 and the bh Gt passed me as if i was a rolling chicane.
So i speed up a little just to see how fast he was going and followed for a couple of minutes at 130ish.
I then backed off and he disappered into the distance.
After another few ks the legacy appeared to be slowing and i caught up again.
Approaching a right hand uphill corner I noticed a huge cloud of white/blue smoke covering the road.
I had to slow right down to see through the cloud and 100 meters up the road was the legacy idling away with smoke billowing from the exhaust.
Some one will be looking for a new turbo.
And thats my sharn...
