Success! Both Loyales made it alive and well. Here's their stats: 94 Wagon in 40 hours 3 minutes. Avg speed: 72.4 mph. 136 gallons of gas and 14 quarts of oil. 91 Sedan in 46 hours 41 minutes. Avg speed: 62.2 mph. 129 gallons of gas and 4 quarts of oil. Lost its muffler in Wyoming. The winner was a 1992 Volvo 740 at 37 hours and 58 minutes. We'll get them next year! Photos and more info to come! Thanks for your support.

That's our actual 156,000 mile, one owner car. Got the original window sticker and all records since new when we bought it for $1000.

Our race car: One of the competition:

Keeping the spare. 10lbs isn't worth the time lost waiting for the tow truck. Actually keeping the old wagon relatively stock. Pumping up the tires 7lbs over recommended pressure. Adding some driving lights. Bobble-head pirate on the dashboard. Already has a rear disc brake conversion. Putting the back seat down so one can sleep while two are in the front and then there has to be room for 2 days worth of food. Our 5-speed wagon will definitely be faster than the automatic sedan, that's for sure! The key to the race is how fast we can pump the gas and go the bathroom !

Our 94 Loyale 4x4 wagon and another teams 91 Loyale sedan are about to undertake The 2904, Transcontinental Motorized Vehicular Tournament of Efficiency and Endurance! The rules of the race are to cover the 2904 miles from New York to San Francisco as fast as possible for under $2904 dollars. The budget includes the car, fuel, tickets and whatever you need to do to the car to get it ready. The start is this Saturday and we will report back with details! May the best Subaru win (or at least beat the Volvos and what ever else shows up to race) Cheers, John

Thanks for the lead! I appreciate the help. Donald Creative Film Cars

Do you need to change the brake bias when you go to discs? I would imagine that it would increase the braking in the rear. No?

Just put on new tires and realized I need new brakes all the way around. The rear drums are expensive. Would it be cheaper and better in the long run to convert to discs. Can I do so on a 94 4x4 Loyale Wagon? Recommendation on good places to order parts? Thanks!

Had the tires fitted and they are great! What a improvement. Highly recommend anyone still running the stock 165/80R13 to switch post haste! Better handling and no real change in the speedo. Perfect. I'll let you know how the Kumho's are in the long run.

Someone smashed our driver's door mirror on the 94 Loyale Wagon. Anyone know where we can get a new one online? Just need the mirror, not the whole assembly. Thanks!

Thanks for all the feedback. A set of 185/70SR-13 Kumho Touring A/S 795 are on there way from Tire Rack. Can't sneeze at $34 each! I let you know how they perform in New York potholes!

Thanks

We have a 1994 4x4 Loyale wagon with 165/80R13 on it. Does anyone know if 185/70R70 would have a problem fitting? They have approximately the same rolling circumference. (http://www.powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi) It is the width I am worried about. For some reason the 4x4 have taller, narrower tires. Any one know the reason?
