Where I am in Jersey we got about 24 inches of snow over the night.
I bought a 94' loyale 2 years ago, and then a few months ago gave it to my younger sister when she got her liscense.
Last night I decided to "borrow" the loyale because my Grand Marquis wasnt doing so well in the snow.
This car is amazing! I never got the chance to drive it in snow in excess of 5 inches, but last night I was tearing through un-plowed parking lots with close to 18 inches on the ground like nothing. It didnt get stuck once, I even tried to get it stuck! I only had trouble when the snow became level with the hood, i'd then have to back the car through its tracks. Though the car is an automatic and lacks the horsepower my Bronco had, I have to say this car seemed to handle the snow better than my truck did.
Im sold, Im now looking for a second car for myself, and yes it will be a Subaru! (possibly a GL or another Loyale)
Sorry if i bothered you all, just had to brag!
-
Boy was I off.....
Well thanks for the help all
-
Oh damn......
This is just getting more and more confusing!
A renault!?!?!:-\
Makes me want to go up in the attic and find more of this car...Weird
Well thanks again
-
Actually it isnt a wagon, its a hatchback.
To me it looks like a 85 GL hatchback...?
All my mom remembers is "It was yellow, small, was good in snow, and had a stick"
Go figure no one in my family knows....
Well ill be looking at some more pics tomorrow, but thanks again for the info.
-
Thanks skunk for putting it up.
I kinda figured it would be difficult to determine what year it was.
But I remember from the other pictures ive seen, it was a awesome looking car. I would like to know if there where any ones still out there like this model.
If I ever find more pictures within the next few days ill put them up.
Sorry for the headache and thanks for the help.
-
I just added another with my mom leaning against it, its just the rear of the car. I can remember a while back there where alot more of that car with more detail, unfortunatly cant seem to find them in my attic
-
Was in the middle of putting it on webshots, sorry.
Its under MISC. Folder

This soob was my Father's, which he bought new about the late 70's early 80's (i think more early 80's)
Although I dont remember much about my dad because he passed away when I was 8.
Recently I came across alot of pictures I found of the cars, boats, trucks he owned.
And my mom always said he loved that little yellow subaru and it was one of his favorite cars (she dosnt remember much about it either).
So I figure maby some of you will know which year and model it is.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunaly I am forced to sell one of my vehicles, and Im selling the Soob because my other car has been in the family since new.
Anyway Heres the link for it.

And some info:
Its a 94 Loyale Wagon 4x4, with the 3spd auto and the EA82.
Lots and Lots have been done to her in the past 5 months by the original owner (before I bought it)
New Radiator, CV joints and boots, Camshaft seals, rear seal, Timing belt, shocks, and 4 brand new tires. Also plugs, wires and a dist cap.
Well the guys who I bought it from gave me the receipt which it all added up to almost 1500 bucks.
Has no rust and only has 96k miles on her. Leaks very little oil though (and ive learned most soobs do)
Well id appriciate any help on making this hard decision.
-
1994 Loyale Wagon 4x4, EA82 1.8. 93k miles.
Was driving home today from Grandparents house, doing about 65-70, and the engine light came on. Slowed to 55, and about 5 min later it went out.
Does this have any specific meaning why it went on then out? Faulty fuse maby? At first I thought it meant 3k miles where up, and was time for a oil change...
I checked in the manual, said to have it checked at a Subaru dealer, yea right...
So if anyone has an idea what it could mean let me know. Ill try to bring it to my shop tomorrow and hook it up to the scanner, see what it gets.
But let me know has this happen to any of you.
-
I have a 94 Loyale 4x4 with the 3at also. Fortuantly it has absolutly no problems shifting. Very strong shift points.
The original owner took great care of this car, and only has 92k miles on her now.
Sounds like your going to be needing a rebuild soon, bands are probably all stretched.
-
How much would a decent 5spd cost from a junkyard.?
Just curious...
-
Cool thanks, probably did run over something when I think about it now, I was in the right lane crossing a bridge when I heard it...Probably something that fell off a truck
-
Well my 94' Loyale has been running great for the past month since I got it.
However I have a concern about the engine. The 1.8 only has 93k miles on it, and well taken care ones.
Last week I had to work on my aunt's car so I parked the soob in the garage for about 7 days.
Well the other day when I went to get it, I pulled out and there was a few drops of oil, nothing major. I know this had the cam, head, and gaskets, replaced just a few months ago. So Should I be worried about that little drops of oil? OR is this a common thing with soobs.
It only burns about 1 quart every 1-1,500 miles so I figure its ok.
Also while driving it home last night on the parkway, going around 65, (revs where around 3,700) About 15 miles into driving the car made a weird sound like metal clanking real fast for a split second, I had no Idea what the heck that was but it didnt do it the rest of the way. (even while going faster or slower) Anyone else had that noise?
All help appriciated!
-
Nice looking soob.
What brand fog lights/driving lights are those?
Im looking to get some for mine
-
Is there any websites on explaining the tranny swap?
-
I have a 94' loyale with the auto trans, and it has 4x4 not AWD.
I belive they came standard with that.
Also the tickj could be the lifters needed replaced or the bearings.
-
Title says it all. On a 94' Loyale I know for a fact that they came standard with Manual Trannys. Unfortunatly for me the original owner was a older woman who wanted a 3 spd auto.
I was curious if it was anyway possible to convert over to a 5spd. Is there any websites with detailed info on how to run a clutch pedal, install stick shift, and I figure I have to keep the Auto Shift on the fly 4x4 since I noticed some manuals have the push button instead of another stick.
SO I was wondering how difficult this could be?
-
Good ideas and thanks for the help. I guess I have to get used to a smaller tank, but even then I could be getting crappy mpg.
Ill have to haul a gallon around and check how low it can go...
-
I have just bought a 94 Loyale 4x4 wagon with the gutless 3 speed auto. Is there a site that explain how to swap a 5 speed in?
-
First off, no my wagon is in possibly the condition it was when it rolled off the line, only has 91k miles.
Its the 1.8 engine with the automatic trans.
Everything has been tuned up for the 90k service, plugs, filters, camshaft, head, valvecovers, seals, dist cap, plug wires, all fluids, oil changed every 3k miles.
So no my car is far from out of tune. Problem is, at 165 miles on the odometer the gas guage reads E. It fills up with exactly 11 gallons of gas. Lots of highway miles on this car also. YEs its cold weather here in jersey, but my 90 Ford Bronco was getting 24-26 Miles per gallon. So either the gas tank for this model is larger than yours and the guage is way off, I dont know, does anyone?
Or is someone stealing my gas?
-
Have a question about these subarus.
Recently bought a 94' Loyale Wagon Auto with the 1.8 in her.
Question is how many gallons of gas does this thing hold.
At 165 miles on the odometer the guage reads empty, yet fills up with only 11 gallons.
If thats the case, I was getting better mpg with my Bronco (24 to be exact)
SO what should I expect to get around with it?
-
Ok forget the Mag mount, Im gonna get something perm.
Anyone know where a good spot to mount a antenna to a Soob wagon?
Would the top of the trunk hatch work?
-
So your saying I have to run the power directly to the Battery? How do I connect it, with what kind of connectors do I use? Any pics on that. Also, Im probably going to get a Wilson mag mount for the antenna. Any ideas on how to run the antenna wire so its not crimped in doors or a total mess?
Very impressed with my old Loyale!
in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
