I texted GD, I think he should enter Turbones old hatch in it. People know it and its sick!

I actually did some 94 Loyale wheels a little bit ago (couple weeks, maybe a month or so) that I took gray/grey steelies, painted them black and then put chrome rings on them with the center caps re-done and it looked SICK! It was for a buddy. His were on a white 1994 Loyale wagon. I just sanded the rust off and primered them with black primer and then gloss black rust-o-leum and they looked great, I woulda taken a picture but I didnt think of it at the time

I have 3 chrome rings that Ive tried to brighten up to look good, and I put them on my steelies just for fun, soon to be getting rid of that set of steelies and getting a different set... I had the little center caps, but I think they went with the Wagon wheels I painted black and sold... but I do have 3/4 rings if you wanna hit me up or something, could probably get them flat-rated. Theres obviously some curb rash on them, but nothing major and they arent dented as far as I can tell.

That makes total sense... Ive had a few girlfriends say that its "awesome" that I have a family sedan already... Someday he will be 4 door monster that insures as a family sedan.... Personally, Ned will be my DD/Playtoy and when I have to take the kids somewhere... Ill get a Forester... I would say Legacy GT... the newer ones... buuuuttttt I think thatd be another playtoy... and if I got a Forester, it would be a 2004/2005 Forester XT which means thatd be a playtoy... Hmm.. Guess Im bound to have a dilemma someday...

I cant help but think someone is trying to come out of the doghouse FWD 1.8 should give you very good MPG and would make a great DD.

Not a big fan of that... I mean its cool, but for the style of it... I would rather have a Subaru brat or an old 360 van/truck type thing.

Why did you decide on the EJ18 vs EJ22 or Frankenmotor?

I think I understand what youre asking... Like is your linkage not hooked up correctly or is there something internally in the transmission that isnt allowing for a 2WD/FWD option?

Am I just lost in what you are saying? All the way up/forward is 4LO, Middle is 4HI and All the way down/flat is 2WD on my 86 Dual Range 5 Speed... If it wont go down into the FWD (if thats what youre asking, still a little unclear as I read this and I apologize, could be lack of sleep) Get the car straight and drive it forward in a straight-straight line, and then try and push the lever down... Should work, if not, I would say something is wrong..

Lookin pretty cool

Heres the background. Started the car today, and noticed that Im running a bit rich (gas "popping" out of the exhaust). Also noticed to the left rear tire, where the exhaust is, its dripping gas out (exhaust leak) Thinking of re-doing the entire exhaust from the Y-Pipe back... I think it was some off-size, like 1.5" or 1.75" which goes up to a 2.5" cherrybomb muffler.. Questions: - Can I go to a 2" pipe from the Y-Pipe back or do I need a custom Y-Pipe? - What are the effects on the Cherrybomb sound? - Quieter, Louder, Same? - I need to get the piping bent, do I need to take in my old exhaust or is there some kind of schematic somewhere that has this information on where it needs to bend? Thanks in advance! Vehicle is a 1986 GL Sedan - Weber Carbed EA82 - Soon I will be using an SPFI block with the Carb manifold

Glad to hear that shes up and running

I was just showing people your Brats and this thread.. This is awesome Mike! Great job!

the knocking sounds like what happens on my car... Lift up the front end and grab both sides of the tire and wiggle it... does it move side to side a lot? Also while its on the ground try and shake the wheel and see if you hear a clunking.. If you do, this could be tie-rods like mine is. While the car is in the air, turn the wheels, does it feel like the pad is grinding/sticking while its moving forward? If not and the noise continues, theres a chance its wheel bearings.. but those dont really grind in my experience... they squeal... How many miles on the car?

I agree with GD. It cant be that far off... I ran 195/60/15 and didnt see 5mph difference in my speedometer reading... maybe 2-3mph off from GPS (Speedo say 35, be doing 33 according to GPS)

I had hit quote and almost wrote out that you should check for power windows, locks, mirrors and speakers and make sure they are all plugged in before you assume you have extra wires... Guess you got it happens to everyone, glad you solved it

Ill be picking up the 3M adhesive remover. My brother read on a 240sx forum that the goo is often called "dum dum" and the 3M removes "dum dum" like its "chalk on a chalk board" So ill be picking this up to get the old black silicone off and I should have loads left over for if I need to take the tail lights out (for painting). It appears as those these strips are highly recommended.

Thanks guys! I will figure out which one Im going to use and see how it works... I have heard good things about the 3M weather tubing... so I might try that, but I like the way these strips look too. Its a long thinking process... Will keep you guys informed!

Ill probably use the rolls of stuff because I hate trying to get that adhesive off... I wonder if I use a blow dryer if I can like, melt the old stuff off without damaging anything.

There it is Thats what Ive been looking for. Permanent? So when I get my car painted... will they be able to remove it and reapply it or should I just do temporary sealant til I replace it... I wont be repainting for a few years.

Soo... the only Butyl Rubber I am finding at Autozone, O'Reillys and baxters is a sealant, like black silicone... I dont really want something that messy, I was hoping for something that would just kinda sit in there, and then when I bolted the lights in, they would squish it so it would seal, but then I could take the bolts off and it would come right off... Does such a thing exist? I wanted to use the rubber stuff, not a sealant...

Welcome to the Forum! Whats the Legacys background? Did you put those 287k on it? I own an 1986 GL Sedan with 173k on it... Still running like a charm If you have a photobucket account... You can put pictures of the Scoobs on the forum... Just copy the "IMG code" and put it in the "Reply to Thread" Welcome aboard though! If you have any questions about the GL, post them in the Older Generation Forum and if you have any questions on the Legacy, post them in the New Generation Forum (of course, use the search feature to make sure noone has asked the same question) Are you doing the restoration yourself or having a shop do it?

What about the 1990-1994 Loyale? It had the options of the GL and looks the same as the EA82 GLs.

Wow! Nice clean choice in color! Looks like you covered the rust areas very well! Cant wait to see more progress, will subscribe!
