Loyale 2.7 Turbo

Comparison Between the Kia Sephia's 7/8" and 15/16" Master Cylinders:

After many days going from one place to another, Comparing Different Master Cylinders, taking Lots of Photos and writing all the measurements onto drawings... also after some working in the Computer, editing all that to condensate all the information into a couple of easily understandable images. I want to share the results here, because it could be helpful for more people. But first, let me tell you that Despite that I tried to do my best measuring them, I won't give Scientifically Accurate Measurements; they're good but not "perfect" measurements. Remember: use all the information I post, at your own risk. Being written my disclaimer, let me share the Results of my investigation, so far...

Seems like Under / Top mounting of Halogens, was Optional, see: Kind Regards.

Yes, usually they are attached underneath, but I've seen photos online of Early EA82's and they had factory mounted Halogens on the upper side of the front Bumper, like this one:

Well, Early EA82's that came to the LADM are like the USDM, they came with full Metal + Glass, not a single bit of Plastic on the Headlamps, except the Ring that holds the 9004 bulb in place, which is easily removable. So, since they're Metal + Glass and No Plastic, people usually place them in Ovens, to heat for some minutes, to melt the glue that holds the glass lens to the metallic base together, in order to separate the Glass from the Metallic Base, to gain access to the HeadLamp's interior. Why? ... to add Led Stripes, cover with aluminium Foil the Rusted Backing reflectors, insert H.I.D. Projectors... etc... see this threads in Example: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/120953-projector-lenses-into-glloyale-buckets/ ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/145412-separating-ea82-headlamp-asembly/ Kind Regards.

Usually, car makers uses the same Wiring Harness to all their different versions of the same base car; so they only plugs the needed accesories or change some, or even not put some, depending on the vehicle's trim level; but wiring is the same; not only in Subarus, I've seen that in another brands. Then, What you're Waitin' for?

Yep, Bumper Holes and the Halogen's Switch (Button) on the Dashboard:

Yes... the H4 Bulb is Better than the 9004, but the Plastic Housing is worser than the Metallic one. In my Case, I used Dual Beam "Natural Colour" (5000K) H.I.D.'s on the Glass Headlamps of my "BumbleBeast" illumination Problem = Solved. Kind Regards.

About the Third Gen Leone / EA82 \ Loyale's Sealed HeadLamps, seems like the USDM never got the Later ones (from 1990 and up), that instead of the crappy 9004 Bulb on Great Quality Glass Front with Metal Housing, came with the Better H4 Bulb, also with the same Great Quality Glass in front, but with Plastic Housing. The AUDM, the LADM (Latin American Domestic Market), EUDM, etc... got them, See: The Plastic Housings / Glass Lenses' Headlamps with H4 Bulbs were widely used in the LADM (Latin American Domestic Market), I've seen them in Honduras on certain 1990+ Loyales, and also the Local Subaru Dealer used to carry them brand New, as spare parts, I wanted to buy a set but it was extremely expensive... now the Subaru Dealer is Gone... Let me show you an Example of those H4 Headlamps from the LADM: The older Style, Metal Housing / Glass Lense, came with 9004 Bulbs. As far as I know, the Plastic ones never were available in the USDM, but the LADM ones are designed for the Left Hand Drive Cars, so they will spread the Correct light beam Pattern, for the USA Roads. You can find them online, at e-Bay: ~► http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUBARU-LEONE-LEFT-HEADLAMP-L-SERIES-01-84-06-94-/181155684402 This is an Example of them, mounted in a Subie: Edit, seems like maybe some -few- models got those HeadLamps in USA, according to this post: Kind Regards.

Welcome! The Wheels could be Peugeot or Renault, which also came 4X140. Does they say anything on them? could you post a Photo of any of them, without the Cover for the Lug Nuts? Kind Regards.

Yep! ... That was me. Honduras is located at the Heart of the Caribbean Central America, and I wrote about the Weber Swap, the link is posted above (Thanks Chompy) but I don't have a Justy... never had a Justy; only a 1985 Subaru EA82 since brand new... the "BumbleBeast" Kind Regards.

I understand. Sometimes is unnoticeable how really steep a climb is, from the driver's seat... Kind Regards.

The Most Suitable Replacement so far, seems to be a Sportage's Master Cylinder that I found at a Local Honduran Aftermarket parts' Store where I went with my Baby Girl; said Master Cylinder was surprisingly "Made in Japan" by Tokiko, and had the proper measurements, except that the bore was 1" (one inch) Which surpasses the Stock 7/8" and 15/16" Master Cylinders. I continue the Research... wait for the Results. Kind Regards.

I have been researching about Different Kias' Master Cylinders, searchin' for an easy suitable replacement; all this past weekend I went to several AfterMarket Stores, including Napa, also to the Local Kia Dealer's parts stores, carrying my "Vernier Scale" in order to take proper measurements and writing them on my old-fashioned "Paper" notebook. I'll let you know the results of the Comparison and measurements taken from both Master Cylinders... (Sportage & Sephia) ...I hope that soon I'll finish my Research on the Kia's Master Cylinders, so far I've encountered different fitments on their outlets, and different measurements on their push rod depths; also not all the Sportages has said Push Rod with a extended tube, like the Second Gen Sephia or First Gen Spectra does.

I Hope your Bro is Alright! Was the pick up doing fast Speeds on such Terrain? Kind Regards.

I'll continue my Research on Kia's Master Cylinders in order to find a Suitable Replacement, I'll post the Results here soon... The Box will remain as an "Ornament" on the Living Room of our tiny house, until I find the Proper Master Cylinder and until the Local Kia Dealer, gives me the couple of Backing Plates (Dust Covers) I will need to complete this Adventurous Project. Once again: Thank you Mr. Robert, You're So Kind! Greetings & Blessings.

The Box at Home! ... ... Here it lies at the Garage, next to my Li'l Daughter's Bike and the Wooden PlayHouse I Built for her

Today I asked my Wife to Switch cars, because I've been feeling ill and the Automatic KiaStein is Softer than my Lifted & Manual BumbleBeast; so here you can see the Box, inside the KiaStein, at the Cargo & Courier's co. Parking lot:

THIS NEWS ARE REALLY AWESOME: The Heavy Box, containing the Parts for the Rear Disc Brakes' Swap, already is at my Home! ... ... the Girl at the Cargo & Courier company called today and gave me the Great News; so I went as fast as a fart, to pick it up, after paying the Shipping & Handling fees, plus the customs clearance's taxes. Many, Many Thanks to my Friend, Mr. Robert (GottaCruise) for all his effort and hard times, finding the proper parts, between Junk Yards and online, to build this Awesome set, and sending this from USA, all the way down to Honduras; my Family and I are very, very Thankful... there will never be enough words to say how thankful we are.

I Agree, Absolutely. I run my EA82 Coverless since years ago, and it is a Weekend Offroader. Seems like Coverless, the Belts runs cleaner. Kind Regards.

Yep, only Latin America, Asia and Australia got the Plastic H4 Buckets for the EA82 / Loyale. Photo of them on a EA82 Subaru: Kind Regards.

All these info, and Much, Much more could be found at the Legendary "Strange & Weird Subaru Stuff" Thread. ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/50983-strange-and-weird-subaru-stuff/ Kind Regards.

The Twin Carb EA71S could be found on certain Models, but it was Developed on the Subaru Manatee RaceCar. This is the Gen 2, Subaru Manatee: This is the Gen 1 Subaru Manatee:

Nope, the 1983 Subaru RX had a Special Version of the EA81S with limited edition Twin Weber Carbs, Subaru stopped the production of these because they already were selling the Turbo EFi EA81 (1983), that Twin Weber Carb setup were used only at the Safari Rally, at New Zealand and very few were sold to the public. Kind Regards.
