Worth Buying another Loyale
86BRATMAN replied to I)arkZrobe's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
If they have put it on there, short of a major wiring and sensor installing event it's useless. I said that in one of previous two or three posts about that being the only way it'd have one. I've unhooked the airbags in a few of the other cars I've owned. Not because I don't like them, they are a good safety device. But I personally know someone who suffered greatly from one busting after it was deployed in a wreck. The guy is a few years older than me and had perfectly healthy lungs before the crash, after the airbag busted he has severe asthma. The doctors said it was from the chemicals in his airbag. Now if it will do that to a healthy lunged person imagine what it would do to my asthma suffering wife... -
Well, you've got the flywheel already, just redrill it while its apart for the swap, have an xt6 clutch set on hand, and have your flywheel machined to xt6 spec and you'll be set.

Weird "harmonic" vibration in '80 Brat
86BRATMAN replied to bratgrl's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Did the mechanic inspect the u joints. They could be getting slightly worn. Have you noticed any change in the height of the brat. When my 86 dropped down in the rear from rust it started making a weird vibration and noise similar to this from the change in the angle on the driveshaft -
The Impreza motor is the same motor as the legacy. As long as you find a manual impreza to pull it from it will be a direct swap. You can use the auto motor, but you'll have to do as gary said and plug the egr hole. The older motor from 90-94 will also swap straight in, but you'll have to use your obd2 sensors. Storm is working with cometic to have them start making gaskets specificly for the frankenmotor ej25/ej22 combo you're talking about. A set of ej22 headgaskets are on the way to his house as we speak in an effort to make the gasket happen.

Well considering the loyale is the same car just a different name for it... No. NO ea82 bodied car EVER came with an air bag. The only way ea82 body car will ever have an airbag in the steering wheel is if somebody bolted on a 92+ Legacy steering wheel. -

EA81/EA82 Engine Tranny question.
86BRATMAN replied to Gyoas759's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Yes, thanks for catching that... I was on the phone when typing that, I'm suprised it made as much sense as it did... -

Some people seem to have trouble with the non-syncronized reverses in these cars as well... Have you tried putting it into first and then going into reverse. Let out the clutch, then push it back in and then try reverse.
