    I’d say no on the swap for the police interceptor. You’ve flipped every mustang you’ve bought so far minus the wife’s and you seem to really enjoy the Taurus

    Elwood: It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks, just change out the 440 for 3.5 twin turbo lol

    15:38 Randy, 2GR-FE is the engine code/name for the current 3.5 V6 engine that powers a lot of Toyotas and Lexus'. The GR engine comes in many versions. The 2 versions that we get in the states are the 1GR (4.0 V6 for the Toyota trucks) and the 2GR (3.5 V6 that came out in 2005 for the Avalon and after that, Toyota just put it in a lot of cars, crossovers and minivans). Its a damn good motor. It is timing chain driven. I have that motor in my 2018 Lexus ES350 that I just bought not too long ago. The V6 that Toyota used before the GR was the MZ. The MZ was a 3.0 V6 timing belt driven motor that came out in 1993 in the Camry XLE V6 and lasted all the way until 2008 in the Solara.

  • @LousWRX
    @LousWRX 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    That Subaru WRX might be a good little car to obtain. The engine in that vehicle is known at the FA20, it is a 2.0L Turbocharged H4, and it actually known to much more reliable than the 2.5L in the STI model WRX you drove in the past, which were known to blow head gaskets. I used to own a 2015 Subaru WRX (same generation as the one you showed) and drove the crap outta of it with launches and heavy track use, and I never had a single issue besides having to replace the clutch. The only time they have issues is when people mod the crap out of them and push too much power than you can either throw a rod bearing or bend the connecting rods, that's only when you push over 350HP though. With that one only having an intake, exhaust, and I'm assuming a stage 1 tune, it should be perfectly fine, I'd say. And they actually do get pretty descent fuel mileage up to 27-29 MPG on the highway and 21-23 in the city. I usually averaged about 22 in mine in the city with a heavy foot. The STI model is the one known for very horrible MPG, though. I'd keep keeping an eye on it as it is a pretty decent, reliable, quick little fun to drive vehicle that's holds its values well, even today!
    Oh and for the transmission feel you mentioned in the testdrive, the regular WRX uses a cable actuated transmission for shifting gears, while the STI uses a hydraulic system, which is why the transmission felt different to you.

    • @georob7918
      @georob7918 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I currently own a 15 WRX since new and it has 53k. It has been extremely reliable and maintenance free. It has needed a battery, rear brakes and just changed the serpentine belt. They are in high demand as there are very few 6sp manuals around. Don’t listen to people who are computer jockeys or who destroy these cars. They are made for spirited driving, not racing or heavy mods.

    • @xinx-fn8973
      @xinx-fn8973 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not to mention the old EJ line of turbo engines where ran leaner than most cars from the factory, so when ppl put intakes and 3 inch exhausts on em without a tune they’d break pistons from detonation 😂

    • @2DogsVlogs
      @2DogsVlogs 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      At the right price. They are just crazy expensive for what you get. I'd love a '99 there abouts. But at over $30k for an old Subi, well out of my budget.

    Hey Randy! GSS stands for the General Services Administration. They are the property holder for most of the federal government. Those police SUVs would have come from an agency in your area. They agency would drive Silver vehicles.
    You have to check with your state as most won’t allow you to turn on the any of the emergency equipment on a public road. But they usually try to sell them to smaller agencies/departments first

    G'afternoon Randy ☕☕ 🤠 . Scotty Kilmer the Professional mechanic has been talking about the Subaru issue lately, and what you said used to be true w/ the older subarus. However they've long since fixed the issues and now they're better than ever . Hell, I took a GL1600 900 miles from Boise ID. to Durango CO. w/o issue 😋 ..

    In Ontario, you can keep the sirens and full lights on police cruisers, but the vehicle cannot say "police" anywhere, and if you ever use the sirens/lights on a public road, they'll throw the book at you.

    Hi Randy, I just got done watching the video that had the Subaru in it. I think you need to try to bid on it and try to get it for yourself because that car looks very awesome and very fun and I think you would have fun with it for a while but my opinion I think you need to bite the bullet and try to get that car. I’ll talk to you soon. Have a good evening. I’ll see you on your next video.

  • @communitychest5141

    I would get the little Subaru even though the "six pack of engines" thing might be true, it's still a lot of fun for the price.

    • @RicardoPCGamer
      @RicardoPCGamer 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm a Subaru tech and just want to say those FA20F engines are great. Unlike the EJ257 that's in the STI. The STI needs a 6 pack of engines. But a regular 2.0L WRX doesn't need more than 1 engine. Unless the owner did something wrong. I see plenty of these FA20's come in with 150k miles and still running just fine. Meanwhile i see STI's come in at 30-60k miles with spun rod bearings.

    It is technically not illegal to have the lights and sirens. It is illegal to use them on the public road. Anyone that tells you you can't own them is lying. You can order everything from companies. In some states you may have to change the light colors and the new ones are led so it is easy.

    Randy!!! Dont listen to all the Subaru Nay sayers!! I have a 2019 STI with 21k on the clock!! The only thing thats been modded is a cat back exhaust!!! Guys that end up blowing their engines are the ones who heavily mod them with bigger turbos, bigger injectors, and run it on e85.... trying to make big power without doing forged internals and going with a closed deck block!! Just a few small mods, like a AOS and maybe a Cyl 4 cooling mod can always actually help!! These things shift tightly and ride like they are on rails!!! Fun to drive!! If I had the funs and access to Dealers Auto Auction.... Id have no problem with buying and driving that thing!!!
    Also... that has the Limited trim level as the sunroof only comes on the WRX and STI Limiteds!!

  • @idahofur
    @idahofur 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    One of the nice things about living in Idaho is the relaxed laws on owning a fully function Police, ambulance, firetruck. They do prefer you put covers over lights (not required) and you can't go around claiming you are part of (insert name of police department.) on vehicle. Most people as a courtesy will remove the top lights and put things like Not The in front of the word police and such. If not just remove or paint over all of that anyway. Personal fave is when they leave the emergency call 911 on the trunk. I'm always on the look out (for a good price in my area) a nice Chevy detective car that has the police package but original back seat and hidden lights. So I don't have to replace much except for the lenses to say amber or now some other color llke green and I have to disable the flashing head lights.
