Loyale 2.7 Turbo

LOL! ... It Remembers me many Stories... Your Brat has the Speakers Mounted in the Doors? ... So the Another Pair could be Mounted Somehow nearby the Seats` Sides, Maybe using an Spacer / Adaptor. Which Stereo Unit you Obtained?

This is How my Weberized EA82 Subie Looks for Now: ... As I Said: Everything seems to be Allright with Timing. The Coolant Leak Seems to come from The Horribly Placed 5/8" Hose at 90º located hidding over the Water Pump: So I Will Change it Tomorrow. Anyone could Tell me Why my Subie Keeps Blackening the Spark Plugs, and having Rough idle / hard acceleration?

Nice Subie! ... I Like It! The Added Wire Should be the one Needed in the New Stereo Units: a Permanent Hot Wire (+) that is Always "ON" to Keep the Radio Stations and Other Presets in Memory. Is Good Idea to Start There, Removing it from the Front of the Panel... you can Weld it to a Hot Wire at the Panel`s Back: Be Careful to Weld it AFTER the Fuse. Then Fix the Fuelp Pump Fuse: The Engine Starts Without it? ... if So, Check for any "Bridge" that could be done at the Panel`s Back. Good Luck!

I'll check fuel filters tomorrow, for now let me Tell that I've Already Checked the Timing and Everything seems to be Good, I Set the Timing at 20º but the Rough Idle still is There ... ... The Sparkplugs are Coming Very Blackened, Just like if the Weber Carb's is Sending too much Fuel, despite that I Just Cleaned that Carb, those Sparkplugs Keeps Coming Black. Could Anybody Tell me if there could be Something Wrong with my Weber Carb? Maybe I Forgot to Clean down there Somewhere ... ... Any Advice will be Very Welcome! Kind Regards.

Welcome! Good advice has been Given. Don`t forget Renaults... For example The Renault Alpine A110 Has that 4X140 Pattern, But I Don`t know if Renault is Widely Available at the USA... See This Links, Just for information: http://cgi.ebay.fr/4jantes-gotti-073-en-4x140--alpine-a110-mod-1600scou-sx_W0QQitemZ330322721243QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090417?IMSfp=TL090417129001r20180 and: http://www.matramurena.de/alpine/englisch/a110_tuning.htm And about Impossible Lug Patterns... Try This Three Lugs ones: Those are Renaults too...

Thank you for your Kind suggestion. And about This: Well... I hope Not ...the Compression Test gave good Results. I Just Remembered that the Day when the First Earthquake hit my Country, I Drove my Subie at High Speeds at Full Throttle for around 45 Minutes, because the road was completely Alone, and I was enjoying the Boxer Rumble sound, thru a full-throttle Weber Carb's throat... it is Awesome! I Usually don't drive Fast because here is Very Dangerous, but that time the Road was alone and I was in a Hurry... My Subie's engine was Doing between 4K and 5K RPM's with good oil Pressure, normal engine Temperatures and normal Voltage, as the gauges on the instrument cluster was Showing during all the Trip: I Usually Drive Watching those Gauges around every ten Minutes or So... ...and the Engine's Problem started just two Days after that "Race" The Engine Still Revs Smooth Between the 2K and 3K RPM's but it Idles very Very Shaky, Just like an old Diesel usually does, and Barely reaches 4K Luckily. Kind Regards.

Bump! Does anybody knows How to Change this Thread's Title? So I Could add the Timing Problem, not only the Brakes. Maybe somebody could Help me... Because right now, The Brakes / Calipers \ e-Brake problems are being discussed in another thread for that subject only. Here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/98476-help-please-direct-front-brakes-swap/ Kind Regards.

I will Take some Photos to share Here with you, as soon as Possible. Could Anybody explain how a Good Shaped Timin' Belt, can Slip a Teeth, and Why? I Haven't Checked for that yet, but I Already Removed the Timin' Belt Covers and Both Timin' Belts and Tensioners seems to be in Great Condition, Like New! ... ... Also I Just finished to do Compression Test in all Cylinders, Both at the Driver's Side measured 172 and Both of the Passenger's Side Measured 180 (with very Tiny Differences between each other); that seems to be Allright, so no Valve's Problems here. Kind Regards.

Could I Ask Why are Still some Pictures that says: Attachments Pending Approval Kind Regards.

Despite the e-Brake problems that my "BumbleBeast" has, I was Planning to do another Travel soon, but my Subie Started to Show a "Drowning Carburetor" Behaviour while Driving. First I Thought it was a Dirty Carburetor, so I Removed the Weber and Cleansed it very deeply. ... It Wasn't the cause. Then, I Borrowed a Timing Light Gun from a Friend and While I was Trying to Check the Timing, it seems like it was Way Off ... ... Because even Moving the Distributor, I Can Not Reach to see the Marks! ... ... I Double Checked Everything and Seems like one of the Timin' Belts did Jumped one or two Teeth ... ... Because the EA82 is Expelling Gasoline Thru the Carburetor while Acceleratin' and it Barely Reaches 4K RPM's with farting sounds on the exhaust. I Believe that my Subie's Timing Belts are Old enough to be in need to be changed ... So I After that, I Purchased the New Timing Belts at the local Subaru Dealer, Now I'm waiting to have enough free Time to do the timin' belts Job. Meanwhile, I had to drive my Subie -Slowly- with that "Gasoline Geyser Carb" and a couple of Days after that, it got yet another Problem: the Wheels' Ball Bearings Started to Sound Rough! ... ... and Suddenly that noise got very Loud! ... ... I Don't Know which ones exactly yet, but the Noise seems to be Comin' from the Front's Passenger side ones... Also the EA82 engine Started to Leak some Coolant from Around the Water Pump, so I Suspect that the hidden 5/8" Hose at 90º that comes from that Water Pump to the heater core, is ripped. Today, Just five minutes after Started the Cool Engine, it Smelled like Boiling Coolant and Temp was 4/5 from Redline Hot! ... Just five Blocks away from Home ... ... So I Turned back home again and Now my Subie is at the Garage, with a dry radiator. I Don't have any more money to buy more Parts now ... So we will be "Walking" and using public transportation untill I Can fix all those Problems. After this Series of Unfortunate events, my Wife already started to search for Another Car to have a "Backup", because we have a little daughter, and my '69 coupé is at my parents' home, far away in my hometown. ► EDIT: She won an Auction and obtained a "Backup Car" ... Look ~► Here. I Bet that going thru that Pond and that big Hit under water, could be the Cause of all this Disaster ... not only I have problems with the car, but also others related to this situation... Could it be that the Timing Belts' Problem is Related to the Coolant Leak, Somehow? Kind Regards.

First of All: Thank you to Everyone for your Nice Wishes and Advices, You're So Kind! Let me Add this: it becomes Really Pretty Useless in almost ANY Place, after the mechanism gets old and worn. The EarthQuake Struck Back Again! ... ... Yes, just Moments ago. Edit: Check here ~► http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/06/08/2592422.htm But this time I Wasn't Driving, Just sitting on my Home's Front Yard, seeing my Subie and Thinking... those Earthquakes are Always pretty Scary. Besides the e-Brake problems, my "BumbleBeast" has another problems... This Thread's Title summarizes what is going on, but let me elaborate in further posts.

Thanks for the Subaru Song info! http://cdbaby.com/cd/tomdemarest I`ll Love to Hear the Full Version of That...

I Disconnected both e-Brake Cables from the Calipers, and Tied them with Metal Wire in Order to Prevent 'em to Move. Kind Regards.

Yes, There are Very Few Subaru XT6 here in Honduras. Long ago, I Had Access to a Wrecked XT6, but their Brakes were seized.

Last Weekend I Went in one of my Usual Trips, but went alone... ...and during it, we Got a 7.3 Degrees EarthQuake in Honduras! ... ... EarthQuakes are very Rare in Honduras, my Country is the Only One in Central America without Volcanos, To know More about that EarthQuake, click Here: ~► http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Honduras_earthquake Many Many Roads got Severly Damaged; some Broken areas, Missing Bridges, Flooded zones, etc... Believe me: it is Horrible to Drive while the Road Shakes ... ... especially at Very Late Night times while Feeling Sleepy ... I Usually Drive at Very Late Nights, That's Why I Have the 5,000K dual beam H.I.D. Lights. Let me share a Photo to show you how some of the Roads Ended after said Earthquake: This is a Picture I Took Some Days After, the Yellow Painted Line was the Center -Middle- of the Road; part of the lane disappeared, Also some roadside Houses Went Rolling Downhill, literaly: So, Right After the EarthQuake Shaked it All (Even my Butts, Seated on my Subie), I Decided to Still continue driving... I Was driving alone in an Old two-way Road Within the Woods, at Around 2:30 AM in the middle of a typical Caribbean Downpour Night when the EarthQuake Suddenly Happened ... then I Felt Scary Like I Was in the Middle of Nowhere with dancing trees all around, So I Choose to continue Driving -But pretty Slowly- my beloved Subaru "BumbleBeast" because I Was Nearby -Around 20 Miles- of my Destination town. Some few Miles After that, I Had to Cross thru a newly formed Pond that had a Hidden -Under Muddy Waters- Break / Stones at Some Point ... Both were New Obstacles (Pond & Pavement Break / stones) Due to the EarthQuake... I drove in first gear as slow as I could, but suddenly, my Subie Fell and had a solid Impact Sound under the Driver's Front Wheel ... ... I Know that Maybe it was a truly Stupid Idea to Continue Driving after such Earthquake, But I didn't wanted to get stranded in the middle of nowhere, within the woods. Then, when I was almost Reaching the Town, My Subie Totally Lost the Brakes! ... ... somehow I Was Able to Drive like That because no one else was on the streets, I drove very Slowly and Parked it Outside Home, with the tires Turned to the Sidewalk. So, the Very Next Day I Checked Everything ... I Don't Know How it Happened, but some of the e-Brake Parts at the Caliper of the Driver's side Wheel, got Damaged; the Small arm that activates the Piston on the caliper, where the Cable goes attached, was Bent; Also All the Brake Fluid was Coming from the Rear of the Caliper's Piston, so the e-Brake's Bolt-Like Pin got bent and had a ripped O-Ring. I Just Removed the Parts, Straighten the Bent pin and used a New O-Ring to Seal the Leak: It Works as Long as I Don't attach the e-Brake Cable there Again ... ... because I tried to re-attach it and if Someone Pulls the e-Brake Handle, Everything Works Fine but the O-Ring will Break and Leak Again for sure! ... ... So, the e-Brake is no longer Working anymore, I left disconnected both Cables to avoid brake fluid leaks. I am Really Tired of that e-Brake System which has gave me many headaches and Now, after the Hit, it seems to be Damaged beyond any repair ... it Always have Been considered by me as one of the Worst Parts of My Subie, along the Timing Belts and the Factory Rear Shock Absorbers. I started another Whole Thread, only for the Front Calipers' Swap Questions. It is Here: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/98476-help-please-direct-front-brakes-swap/ Kind Regards.

Could it Be a Stuck Thermostat? ... if your Subie`s Engine Never had operated at Overheating Temps, I believe it is not the Heads Gaskets, just the Thermostat got Stuck. I Suggest to Check it Too and Replace if Needed. Kind Regards.

Yes. Which Diagram you Used? ... The one I Did? Well... it is Nice to know that you Found the Problem and it is Fixed Already... I Just want to Suggest you to Swap the Other Headlight Relay, Because Both have Around the same Life Rate, So if one went Wrong, the other one is about to do the same too... Kind Regards.

Well, it seems Like the Alternator is Bad... But Maybe it is Just its Wiring... Could I Ask you Pictures of your Subaru Engined Sail Boat? ... I Really Like Boats... Kind Regards.

I Have some Pictures about that Setup and how I did Fix that, in my "Weber Swap" Writeup... if you want to see `em and How I Fixed that, Just Click on my Avatar and you`ll Reach a List of my Writeups. Kind Regards.

Well... About your Subie: Could you Post Pics of it Here? ... ... What was Wrong with it? Kind Regards.

Thank you for your Kind Answer. That Flooding remembers me some of the Hurricanes that had Hit our Country...

Nice Find, the Wagon Look So Nice and now it is Very Clean! ... Congratulations! Could I Ask about How and Why it got Flooded? Also I Suggest to Pay Attention to the Electrical System, Specially the Relays: They Trend to Rust easy, but they`re Easy to Swap. Kind Regards.

Thank you for your Kind Answer! Have you Noticed any Gasoline Consumption Differences, Yet?

Could I Ask you one more Question? ... About the Tire Size, I just know Tire Measurements for Conventional and Radial Tires; those Radials usually says something like: "205/75 R 14" for Example. The Question is: What is the Measurements for your 26" Tires? Kind Regards.

I Agree, Absolutely! I Really Like your Car and the Progress Done, Great Restoration Work, Very Well Done. About Rust Proofing it, Also you can use some "Spray-On" Chemicals, I Suggest the TOFF: http://www.toffliners.com/ Because it is a Epoxy Sprayed-on Anti Rust Bed Liner, that in my Country is used for People who wants to Avoid Rust, in Severe Conditions with Great Results, is easy to do and Works very well. Kind Regards.
