  1. Same as the Leone We got carb'd up to '87-when the used up the carbs as well-(transition year). That is unless you got a turbo model,then they were MPFI. Best D/R 5spds are the late 80's here.I think my local guru said the early D/R's are better than the later ones for some reason I can't remember right now.Nothing wrong with any of them as far as I'm concerned.My '89 has over 235K(miles) and runs like a champ. That body style ran up to '94 even though we also had the Legacy,and later,the Impreza in '93....so the Leone(Loyale) was them a very basic car so it would take care of the low end of Subaru's line,and allow the new models to be more accepted.
  2. Had a great time!!!!! My son hooked a small salmon and that made the whole trip! Maine rules.New Hampshire ain't so bad either. Many thanks to Milt-rogue43-up in Rogue Bluffs,ME for putting us up and stopping by to check on my wife who had to stop in the hospital for a check up and some med for an inner ear infection thing.I'm very happy for you guys that you have such a wonderful place and a great deal of serenity.Downeast Maine,the best we've got on the east coast!!!!
  3. Later kids. Going to Maine.Just met "rouge43",hope I got that right.Great people he and his wife.We'll be camping a night in his yard on the Atlanic ocean way up in good ol' "downeast Maine". Looking forward to cool nights,and the rustic shoreline experiences. Anyone looking for me tell them I'm in the bathroom and to just hang on a minute. I'll be back next week.If you're waiting for something.....Matt,I think you're the only one left,besides Witte but that's another malady.....talk to you next week. Cheers!
  4. I replied to your email via the board. There's at least one other guy who wants a GSR but I've been wanting one for a long,long time.Yours is probably one of less than 10 left.Just guessing,and hoping that there's a few more than we've heard of. I think there was at least one,maybe two other GSR owner who stopped by this board over the years.
  5. One thing to consider when you don't turn the rotors us the rust rim on the outer edge of the rotor.This will make contact with the corner of the brake pad,more when turning.I've done different methods of removal including throwing it in gear and hitting it with a file. Check that caliper too,you know the drill.The stores have decent enough rebuilds.I have a used one but need it myself.I'll be gone from Saturday to Saturday.Talk to you soon.
  6. There you go John!!!! Good luck guys..... Rednecks?I thought you guys WERE the rednecks! Have fun and don't let the seats fall in the mud.
  7. Todd,is obviously not a parent of small children. I can't BUY 8 hours of sleep....let me know what it's like. Back to the cars.Well,if you can make a runner and you really wanted one of those you'd better pay the $100 since there aren't a lot left to pick from.I'm assuming there's no serious rust like we'd have here on most of them. If you want to see if you can make some dough parting them out well you might,or might not.Personally I'll pay for an uncracked blue dashboard from a late '77 to 79.I'd also pay for several rust free parts like fenders,rounded style rear bumper,lower front skirt,and more. There's a very limited market for 70's Subarus. Please look the cars over,take notes if you can,and let me/us know what's good on the cars.Maybe we'll make it worth your while to part them. If you lift the hood and there's a dual carb set up on one call it mine.
  8. I got lead picture!!!!! AND got a second shot......yeeeehaaaa!!!!!! thanks Dennis!!!! !!
  9. ...like Jerry said.i have my '88 FSM here now.I also have a D/R 5spd and a S/R 5spd,the S/R being scrap-bad differential. The reverse on the D/r is #1 located to the front on the driver's side. If anyone else has the '88 FSM I'm looking at page 73 of the "Section 2 and 3" book.(figure 189)
  10. ....which is why i'm checking back.....cleaning house,sooner the better. Thanks
  11. Yes-'89 FSM No-scanner due to lack of memeory,etc.....I'll see what I can do.
  12. I'm sure it's typical rust that won't damage the structure for another few years.But,I can't tell without looking.Good luck with it Eric. If you get it to Nebraska maybe it'll stop rusting....at least slow down. Eric,remove the fender's lower bolts and move the plastic wheel well aside and get the crap out from behind there.Wash the insides of all wheel wells but especially the rear.Get the crap out from around the gas filler tube too.
  13. Scott,let me know what sort of arrangement you're working up for the shell. I'm gone from July 3-10
  14. I think I can help you out.I just hope you're not in a hurry. I have a complete suspension from a '75 4WD wagon,same style-same generation.It'll be rusty but functional.It's heavy surface rust but nothing rotted out. You are talking about the hub that the strut bottom attatches too,correct? Or do you mean the top end that has the rubber mount with 2 studs coming through?I doubt I have any good ones.If I did I'd hold them. *
  15. drooling here.......I lean towards stock when it comes to vintage but that's a beauty! I'll be ready for one just like that in a couple years.Please keep my info incase you ever want to dump it off and move on.
  16. Last of the carby's......not exactly something dream of having but for free it'll be a solid base to work with. Those carb's aren't really all that bad but it ain't no SPFI,etc. either.
  17. Very cool for New Canaan!! Hope to see you soon.Next Saturday will probably be best.Got your email.Talk to you soon.
  18. With a board name like yours I'd have thought you have them already LOL I know of a few that I keep neglecting to go get.The guy wants like $40 each....but I think he'll let them go cheaper in a package,if he still has them.I really have no time lately to go there but I'll dig his number out and call.If he says the magic words I'll make the time and go get them.
  19. No Matt,sorry....I started a new job this week.I have them sitting ready to go and will take them with me Monday,and go by FedEx right after work. pardon the excuses....been a wild week.
  20. We will be there through August but not likely after that. Guys,don't chump out.I know we're all busy but please consider stopping by for the big finally,if not sooner.Don't make me whip out the guilt trip blab,telling you all how good I've been to you,etc.etc,.... Come on folks,help me out if you can but let's at least make an attempt at one last day of meet 'n greet,show 'n eat....and take some parts home. Thanks for your consideration.
  21. Richard in CA has contacted me. Moderators can delete this thread,thank you.
  22. Please contact me.Thanks This is not the FPRC(?) that Sweet82 is looking for. This is a metal part that hoses go onto.You sent me a diagram of an intake manifold with one. I've had the part sitting there for a while now but lost the info.Very sorry.
  23. Bump Thanks Brusbros for offering,and a few others as well. I know it's tough for me to get time lately so I understand if we just can't seem to get together.New gig,much to do....and the kids too. Nights are best for me for anyone wishing to help out. Don't forget the good part-there's always parts to go home with you for helping and most likely I'll have food/beer/beverages...and you get to hear some of my best jokes......and witness hilarious ball breaking if Andrew and I are in form.
