Loyale 2.7 Turbo

This setup seems to be Wrong to me, because the Oil Filler tube is on the Passenger's side ® which is the side that breathes fresh air and is the opposite side to where you connected your Oil Catch Can's other end; so it ends to be like connecting both sides together. Think carefully about it. Kind Regards.

Well, despite that during all the past year I did absolutely... ...Nothing to my Subaru "BumbleBeast" ... Except Drive it and its regular fluid Changes, This past weekend I had to change a torn inner axle Boot, using Zip Ties as always: Kind Regards.

Beyond Awesome designing Job done here, I really like it! Remember, not only Subaru could done this; Subaru let in the past, two aftermarket companies to "Transform" their EA81 Coupe onto Convertibles, which were sold new at certain Subaru Dealers in USA; also other two companies (One in USA and another in Japan) Made -Few- Subaru Alcyone XT6 Convertibles. About UTE (Pick Up) Transformation, I've seen Foresters... ...and even Imprezas... ...transformed onto Utes (Pick Ups) by other companies, so, this XV-UTE might happen with the help of another Company doing the Transformations... and selling the Removed parts: It worked in the Past. You might start to convince a Company if you start a Market Research, and bring your own modified "Real Life" XV-UTE to show 'em it is Possible, and the Results are a Unique, Useful & Beautiful Car, but you'll need to buy an XV and Modify it... Other Members here, at USMB, have done Awesome Modifying jobs, as inspirational example, let me Share this Photo of a Third Gen Subaru Leone-UTE you might like, the "Bratified Loyale" (You might say "Brumbified") : Kind Regards.

So, you did everything, except the Strut Blocks, and the Rear Diff Plate, isn't it? Awesome!!! About the steering shaft, I removed it from the car, cutted it and lengthened it welding extra material between the cutted edges, it is not "Rocket Science" but you must take the proper measurements before welding it back together. Also, if you still has the Mechanical fan attached to the Waterpump, remove the Frame around it, from the Radiator, before droppin' the Crossmember, or the fan blades will hit it... Kind Regards.

That was a very fat side crash, which other cars couldn't handle as good as that Legacy for sure. By the way, In my crazy country, that legacy could be still repairable & driveable legally. Kind Regards.

Seems like I'm lost on Translation once again ... ... What is an HHO? Something that adds so much advantages as you described, and still being Simple, Should be beyond Awesome... Kind Regards.

Welcome! Yes, we Love Photos here, so I Kindly suggest you to start your own car's thread, at the "Member's Rides" section. Good Luck! Kind Regards.

The factory Carburated EJ engines are Awesome! ... The LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) received EJ15 and EJ16 carburated on first gen impreza, also EJ18 and EJ20 Carburated on First gen Legacy; here is a Video of a Local (Honduras = LADM Specs) Dual Range carburated EJ20 Legacy I was about to buy, years ago: People in USA never received Carburated EJ engines, nor Dual Range EJ transmissions, as they weren't available for USDM only... I know many USMB members will pay to receive the intake manifolds & Distribuitors from carburated EJ's in USA, but despite that the Distribuitors could work, the intake manifolds looks different from their EFi Counterparts... There are two different distribuitors for EJ's, one is for the smaller displacement ones (impreza), and the other for the Larger ones (Legacy), I have the part numbers if you need them... Kind Regards.

Awesome!!! I run my Subaru "BumbleBeast" like that since many years ago, no more saggy rear but the ride becomes hard... until you drop some load on the back. Remember, as I wrote on my writeup, the Honda's coil springs will Lift the rear of the Subie ~ 2" and could stress the rear axles if you don't drop the differential. Kind Regards.

AWESOME!!! I'm so glad to read that, Keep us Updated, please. Kind Regards.

Also I never heard about a Beepin' ECU, especially on a Loyale ... ... The description of the issue really fits the Sony Xplod car stereo's behaviour, as pointed by Gloyale; it is a reminder of leaving their detachable face on; so I must ask, have you changed the stereo lately? Kind Regards.

OK, got it, by the way, You did an awesome work. Kind Regards.

I'm glad to know that you solved your posting problems. That is Beyond Awesome! Kind Regards.

That Green Subie looks Awesome, Congrats! I was about to ask the same about the speed limit... Here in Honduras, we have a country wide, speed limit of 80 KPH, Equals to ~ 50 MPH. Kind Regards.

To adapt a Disty + Carb on a Subaru EJ engine that originally came EFi is not easy at all. Beside yours, I've seen such setups done in USA by Jerry (Bratsrus) and Scott (Scott in Bellingham). It is a shame that the Laws in USA about pollution, forced subaru to quit selling Carburated engines in USA too early... the LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) specs, and other worldwide markets received factory Carburated + Disty EJ engines on Legacies (EJ18 and EJ20) up to 1994, and imprezas (EJ15 & EJ16), this is a short video of a factory dual range Legacy that I was about to buy, where you can see the factory Carb'd + Disty EJ20, running: The Thread with Subaru's part numbers for the two different EJ Distribuitors, details, photos and links to the Cab'd + Disty EJ FSM, is here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/98480-need-advice-legacy-wagon/ Maybe you find helpful info there. Kind Regards.

By the plug, looks like the Speedometer Cable.

My "BumbleBeast" does activate all car alarms around, but with the Weber on Full Throttle! Not with the Exhaust ... ... Kind Regards.

Glad to know that changin' butterflies fixed it! Kind Regards.

The Hunt has begun ... ... I kindly suggest you to upload Photos here of the New one! Kind Regards.

So sad for your car loss, but glad that your son is alright. Time to search for a Newer subaru, perhaps? Kind Regards.

Yes, it seems to have pretty much useful stuff... Not all the people appreciate the real value of things, especially when they didn't worked to obtain the money to buy them. Kind Regards.

This is the only "Real Life" Subaru where I've seen the optional Digital Dashboard Buttons: Have you seen another one?

...and this were the options for late Models (1987 ~ 1990): Including Digital Dashboard Buttons, Sporty Steerin' wheel and 14" rims. This is a Fully Loaded Subaru Leone "Mezzanotte" Wagon, Features all options, such like Factory 14" rims, Roof rack, Shaved body, etc... On the lineup for 1990 ~ 1994, subaru dropped the options, Because they were selling Legacies since December 1988 for JDM and 1989 for the Rest of the World. 1990 was the last year for TURBO EA82's, and the 1990 ~ 1994 models had the basic or "DL" look; in example, the rear side windows on the wagons came with Rubber trim, no more "Glued" windows like the GL's, etc... Kind Regards.

About the Fully Loaded with Extra features, Subaru Leone III (...Third Gen, a.k.a: "Loyale", EA82, etc... ) I have this photos of the Accesories' Catalog for early Models (1984 ~ 1986):

Thank you for the Link! All the information is or will be Useful for many people. Kind Regards.
