LOCATED IN GOLDEN, BC, CANADA After collecting everything I needed for a big build on my Loyale I am moving to Europe for a year. I am not 100% sold on selling all of this because of the effort put into getting it but I also don't want to put too much into storage so if it goes for the right price to a happy person, so be it. I would prefer to sell it all together, but not necessarily. All prices are what I paid in Canadian dollars. Photos to come if there is real interest. For sale: 2" BOSS LIFT KIT (no hardware) - $150 1.5" ANDERSEN DESIGN SUBFRAME DROP (all hardware) - $130 '95 OUTBACK STEERING COUPLER - $10 KING SPRINGS (front and rear, standard height, progressive, stiffer) - $400 DUAL RANGE TRANSMISSION ('87 GL. 250,000km. no console) - $200 CLUTCH (50km on it) - $50 14" '88 MAZDA B2200 WHEELS (14x5-1/2.) - $100 mounted with 205/75/r14 TIRES (like new, can't remember brand as they are in storage) - $150 26.1" FIRESTONE WINTERFORCE TIRES 205/75/r14 (like new) - $150 6 BOLT REDRILLED HUBS (may not be perfect, have not pressed in lugs) and more EXTRA HUBS AND LUGS - free with tire set '90 NISSAN MAXIMA ALTERNATOR (new, remanned, includes Subaru spacer and pulley) - $150 I also have fog lights, roof bars, ski box and tons of other Subaru parts.

Help! Rear strut towers rusted out.
Subarocket replied to Subarocket's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The other side has minimal rust but definitely a fracture of sorts along the strut bracket. Not nearly as bad as this side though -
Today, as I'm getting ready to start my project car (lift, hubs, D/R, alternator, new suspension) i notice some rust on my rear wheel wells from the inside. It's much more than some rust. On one side there is a hole right through the top and the bracket that the strut mounts to appears to have pushed right through into the body. codswallop! I was just going to lay in some dynamat and now I'm looking at this. Get rid of the car? Fix? What does it cost to fix? I'm going to see if the same area is rusted out on my parts car. I have not put anything into this car yet but I don't want to spend $1000 fixing this either. Any tips, thoughts, condolences? Photo: http://imgur.com/6qRzS8i

Moog, Monroe or KYB? Loyale Shocks
Subarocket replied to Subarocket's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
stiffened them up a lot eh? I didn't think the shock absorber's purpose was to stiffen. So, if your suspension was fine, just soft, would it be best to throw in some King springs or some kyb stuts?- 10 replies

Moog, Monroe or KYB? Loyale Shocks
Subarocket replied to Subarocket's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
So now I am looking at trying to save a few bucks and prioritize my suspension buy. The rear struts sound gone. I also need something stiffer back there. The fronts could be stiffer and 'damper' (smoother feeling going over round curbs). I believe the struts are good. I guess the question is about the front. Would it be worth doing just some new king springs with out new struts? Would just new struts stiffen up my ride much? I am liking what people are saying about KYB, it seems to be the way to go. Now I need to find them in Canada. Thanks for the help guys. I went back into Lordco and it was actually Monroe that they had.- 10 replies

I'm upgrading the suspension on my 92 Loyale wagon that is getting lifted 2". I am thinking of going with King Springs and need new shocks as well. Lordco sells Moog and Monroe and I often hear about KYBs on here. What are the pros/cons and what would mate best with some Kings? I read up as much as possible and couldn't answer this question. Thanks.

Make your own xmember spacers?
Subarocket replied to Subarocket's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
It's a 92 Loyale wagon p/b 4x4. The lift is not in yet. It's a boss 2". I honestly don't know exactly which spacers need to be swapped exactly. I'd love to see pictures. Prwa, the only pic I could see on your fb page was a box full of lift parts. Could you send me a link to the one picture you had in mind. Would you sell just the subframe drop? Does that include a spacer for the rear diff? Thank for the help. Please forgive my lack of knowledge. -
Winter is coming and I need to lift my car so I can fit my new tires in. I have been unable to find an Outback to get the tranny and engine crossmember spacers for a drop. I believe they are from a 96-99 Outback and are 1.1/4". Does anyone have some drawings or specs so I can have some made. I don't know everything that I am looking for on this so I appreciate the help. Thanks, Brian

1970s side graphics for Loyale
Subarocket replied to Subarocket's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Great pic. It helps visualizing how the graphics would go with the black moulding right above it. That is the one thing that I am not sure about with all of this. Too cluttered? -
It seems like you are only supposed to cut a spring if it doesn't have a flattened end. Does this mean you cut off the top of the spring?
-
I've picked up some Tempo front springs and Accord rear springs for my 92 Loyale. I've got a lift kit and plan on cutting the accord sprigs so I'm not doubling up on the lift. When you cut the accord springs I've heard that you cut a coil and a half off to retain stock length. Do you cut off the bottom or the top? Do you have to worry about not having the full coil that sits flat? Thanks!

nice couple! What are the head lights on the Loyale?

Sound and temperature insulation for wagon.
Subarocket replied to Subarocket's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
now that I think of it, a rubber mat would probably do. ha or yoga mats! -
Since Betty White the Loyale is going to become my home away from home this winter I need to figure out how to make it a little more cozy. The wagon will become a two seater with a permanent 'bed' in the back. The mattress will not be permanent but the seats will be gone and replaced with a sheet of plywood and storage underneath. I would like to insulate it for sound, cold and if I could get some padding out of it that would be great. I will be insulating behind the panels with Roxul (mold resistant bats of fibreglass insulation). The footwells, seat area and back section of the wagon need something. Dynamat would take car of sound but not the cold or give any padding. Dynamat and Roxul could work but I worry about the Roxul holding water from gear, etc. Is there a thicker dynamat type product that has any sort of insulating value? Any ideas.
