without seeing it in person, i think any point between 1,500 and 2,000 would fit the price, but why are you selling your soob? i saw your webpage and i think you love it. so why? or you just wanna know how much it worths? if you love your car and take care of it, it will love back to you... i hope you could understand what i meaning, but if you did so much work on it, and taked care of it like you do, so the car becomes priceless for you. or at least it should work like that... maybe i think like that becuase my dad and bro are professional mechanics, and they have repaired and drived too many different cars, knowing them deep, but they stuck with the same cars for a life, and if a new car entries the family, it would be there always. dad got its 1967 volkswagon spider, and its 1978 daihatsu big truck, my bro got a 1989 ford ranger, and my sis a 1987 loyale, and i love my little rusty subaru rex 1981. maybe is for the many adventures we spend on them, and the much effot we put on them to make them run, so we cant mind anyone else driving our beloved cars. it is diffeent in USA, old cars are very cheap... so here used cars are expensive, your loyale will cost between 3,500 and 4,000 dollars, that is the other reason why we stuck with our cars, specially when we worked on them and when we know where is and how function every single piece... that`s what dad says, and i think like him. so, i suggest you dont seel it if you like it, just try to continue upgrade it.

yes, welcome, take care and enjoy your soob. :-p

Hi all. I have a second generation Subaru Rex. I know that for many of you its name is not familiar, the rex is smaller than the justy, in the seventies it first gen was rear engined, 600 or 700 cc two cylinder car, but mine is the 1981 model second gen. it got front engine also two cylinder and front wheel drive (it was an all wheel drive version, called subau sherpa in some areas) and it looks exactly -almost- as a tinier justy. the question of this, is: where i can buy parts for it on internet? becuase at my nation, the dealer has not many of them left, and wont bring them here unles first pay the half, and result are extremly expensive. i need the head and valves, waterpump, and gasket. my dad (he is master mechanic) is the one that will fix it for me, and also he said... something about piston rings, and maybe oil pump, (now he is with me) and the brake pump, along with the kit for the wheel brakes too... maybe that is all, bt maybe it will come out something else, dad is saying something about rusty bearings, ohh!... i hope fix the rex wont be so expensive, it has about a decade in a corner of our mechanic shop, just dying... i wanna see it running and shiny for me, to go to university, maybe soon so, any help to find a website that carrry subau rex parts, would be appreciated. thank you.

i dont think that.. here we got that subaru, but named REX instead of sherpa, i has one mine :) first rexs where rear motor and rear wheeel drived, but mine is a 1981 version with front motor and just front wheel drive, that looks exactly like that. maybe that is the main diferense between rex and sherpa subarus.

thank you. i was doing school "things" that dont left me any spare time..

i do not know exactly what is a autocrosing, but if it is a race, our ea82 wagon improves way beter grip with the 205/60 R13 tires. maybe you can get a not expensive used ones!

my dad did that about one year ago in a volkswaon, it was diesel and the owner ask dad to swap its burnt diesel engine for an efi gasoline, same brand. the problem with in the hood ecu is that the heat of the engine, and the hood when parking in sunny days, get it too hot and it damaged two times. now dad is working in put it inside the car, in the glovebox, this is the 3 ecu module it puts on thge car. i think that is bad idea. tri to install it inside, is better idea

i mean, in internet

Where i can se that commercial?

OH, THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE SOOOO KIND!!! ........ i am so thankful, but my dad did found that parts on a junk yard yesterday afternoon, so now he is working on put them on the steering and it back to the car..................... but THANK YOU....... GOD BLESS YOU, YOU ARE SO KIND

thank you i just wanna know how much will cost those parts and if they got an internet link to buy those items directly, because i live far away from USA, and maybe i do not have enough money to buy those yet, it dependes on my father`s wallet thank you again. anybody knows a internet site to buy the bearing and the bushing for a 87 loyale steering wheel? thanks.

Update: we are tired of searching, we can not find those bearing and bushing, even nor at the dealer of our city; they said that maybe at capital`s city dealer... they got but they are not sure if those they got, fit our loyale... ...and also, the only two ones found at our local junk yards, got the same issue: loosiness... so, next week we will travel to capital city to search at the dealer / junk yards... wish me luck. any of you know where to buy that bearing / bushing on internet? if so, please send me a link here........ thanx..

nice! ...1981... :-p ... i am searching for a subaru rex manual, (repair manual) mine is a 1981 front wheel drive, 700 engine... have you seen one?

Nice job! your car looks soo goood!... i wish our loyale`s rims looks like that, thank for the information about how to do the six bolts conversion, i will show it to my dad inmediatly. thank you! :-p

how do you fit those rims on a subaru? my dad and i are tired of searching for good nice rims to our loyale, and seems that the bolt patern is much wider than standards of other brands, we only found a pair of peugeot that fit that 4" of subaru... how you put those six bolts rims on a subie? or it came with six bolt pattern?

you want to rally it?

also: if it starts, they are not broken!

Hey!, if you want to learn more of the rex´s (Small subarus sold in latin america) see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Rex bye!

Thanx.. Justy´s are much wider and bigger than Rex´s.... they coexisted as two different models -says daddy- i have searched on internet about it, no stores got parts for it, and it did not get in U.S.A., isn´t it? so i do not have idea how to obtain parts for it yet. the loyale steering column is complicated, yesterday night, my dad had to cut the bearing off, not all the bearing as it was already damaged, just the part in the steering bar, and now we do not know its number to search for a new one, any ideas? we will search with the bar and the rests of the bearing today at the parts shop, if we do not obtain the right one, we will start searchin in junk yards, but i dont wanna use an other used wear bearing... so wish me luck! :-p

I, well........ my family got two and a half one is my dad´s 87 dark blue loyale, other is my sister´s 1998 legacy, and my beloved 1981 rex is mine! disassembled now, but i hope some day i can fix it... :-p it means 2½/3

yes, it is pathetic to take out the bearings... my dad accidentally hit me when he was pulling out the steering wheel, Ouch! but it was not too big. we will try take out that, learning how in the hard way, but if it does not work, we will search for another steering column as gunslinger said. also -spanish- la edad legal para manejar carro aqui es a los dieciocho años, pero yo estoy aprendiendo a menejar con mi papa, salimos los domingos por calles rurales vacias y canchas de futbol vacias para que yo aprenda mientras cumplo los dieciocho. translation: legal age to drive here is 18, but i am learning how to drive on sundays, with my dad, driving in rural roads, or empty soccer areas, to be ready to drive when i reach 18. the subaru rex is my favorite, is tiny, looks tender and sweet, if you could imagine it in pastel pink, but daddy wants to paint it in cherry metallic pink... i dont know how to post photos here, but i also dont want to post its photos here, because it is in very bad condition, imagine it abandoned since 1994 in my dad`s mechanic shop, he brought it last year from the previous owner, because i like it too much, i hope i can fix it to go with it to the university. i searched in internet for a photo of a good shape rex, and i found this photo: i hope this work, just to show which car is the subaru rex i am talkin about. i hope i can fix mine like that in the photo. i will post here the progress with the ball bearing and the ball bearing bushing as turbone said the part numbers and names (thanks), in this moment, my dad with a friend are trying to pull them out, they say that those things -just a part- seems to be welded to the column, i hope he can pull them out... today! bye.

it hapened to mine, it was just the radiator cap too old and weak. check yours.

Hi, welcome to this wonderful site! about the manuals that you want, i saw them here, in this same site, at this link: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=43 that car looks nice, i hope you enjoy it, but first check its belts and oil pump presure if it is too low, the engine becomes noisy because of the hydraulic lifters. it hapened to mine about one year ago. believe me, subaru GL (Called Leone here, Loyale at United States) is a wonderful unique car, you will learn using it.

thanks you for your replies, here the steering wheel is situated in the same side as in united states is, and is nor too hard to find replacement in junkyards, but i don`t wanna change the entire column, unless it is extremly nescesary, i will try to disasemble the one on my subaru, maybe my dad and i can fix it easily searchin inside for the piece that makes it too loose. thank you for your idea of send parts here, but i can not afford the price yet. i am student, no job untill i graduate, and dad says that he will give this car as a gift for me to go to the university, but i rather preffer the rex, i like that little subaru, but its engine is completely bad, maybe one day i can fix it. thank you for all the replies. i will try get out the steering column right now.
