  1. Heeeeeeeeellllllllllllll no! That way is WAY outta the way. I took I-5 to Mount Shasta (the town) then went east on 89?? to some other highway to Susanville to 395 to Reno. I just got the salvage certificate for the car today... its finally mine!!! Who wants to buy it?
  2. YOu dont need to park, just circle around the lower deck afew times (just call to make sure the flight is on schedule) I did that when I was picking up the buyer (Bratcrazy) in my 87 GL-10 T-Wagon... only had to circle twice. Beats parking costs!
  3. I just got back from a 1200+ mile round trip to Reno NV. Took the Impreza which I purchased afew months ago and have been awaiting paperwork on (so I wasnt able to legally drive it) The paperwork is finally due soon so I broke down and bought a 21 day trip permit for it and insured it so I can use it temporarily while I rebuild my GL's engine. Wow, this car is SO nice... the passing power (who woulda thought you could accelerate from 55-95 so fast to pass an RV up at 4000 feet) I still got 31 MPG doing all that spirited highway driving too I definitely want to get a keeper EJ series car, this one just isnt it (auto tranny AND a sedan...) The seats suck too (I swapped in a legacy drivers seat from my brat for the drive down) I can now sell it with confidence that it is indeed a good car.
  4. Hmmm am I missing something here? I thought the RS was a non turbo loyale with an RX body kit... Is it really that the RS is just the 90+ bodykit clad car available as SPFI OR turbo??? :-\
  5. My (for a week) 91 Legacy did that... then Andrew bought it and tried changing the switch and some other stuff. Not sure if he ever got to the bottom of it, but it acted up too.
  6. I remember that pic, I was just too tired at the time to hunt it down. If you came by here though we would be one up on that (cause my brat is the same gen as austins wagon) and the Loyale would be an addition. It would be like WCSS5.5 If I called my brother and had him bring is 2002 WRX it would be even better.... 6 subarus!
  7. If someone witha digicam wants to swing by we can get a pic of my 98 Impreza, 92 Loyale, 87 GL, and 82 BRAT in a line :cool:
  8. Hmmm the bed is about the same as mine. THe firewall is WAY better The bed sides (outside) are worse. Still a good find (any brat is) Definitely could use a lift and bob
  9. I just noticed, it still has a roll bar in the bed
  10. Only one way it could be a holier grail... Have a black/red pimp interior (though those were only available on the 85-86 models... maybe only 85....)
  11. Its just a little dented, its still good its still good
  12. Hmmm maybe I should buy one of these and slap my DGV on my BRAT
  13. You are right, the raised roof is what makes it a touring wagon. I guess it just gives you more cargo/headroom in the back or something...
  14. what kind of choke is on it anyway?? DGEV is electric right?? so what is AV?
  15. Hmmmm thats odd... it appears you have the carb normal (not backwards) but the choke is still in the back:confused: I have my choke in the back, but the throttle stuff is on the drivers side.
  16. My 87 GL has: Weber 32/36 carb (turned backwards to clear the power steering) Full custom exhaust (2.0 to the cat, 2.25 to the muffler, 2.5 out) Accel coil Shorter shifter rod (same degree of throw, just a shorter radius may be the best way to describe it) Instructions on how I did my shifter can be seen on my homepage here: Errrr never mind, my webpage isnt working
  17. Checked some stuff today, see update portion of original post
  18. I know I should know this.... but what holds the cap on? Its really tight in there with all the AC lines and stuff and I've never had to yank one before... 2 screws? or what am I looking for?
  19. Grrr stupid Loyale... I finished it yesterday (timing belts and water pump, wires, plugs) and it took its maiden voyage yesterday just fine. A little rough here and there (idle seemed a bit low here and there) Today went to to get its picture taken for autotrader. Drove wonderful until I tried to floor it off the line, I swear I heard a kind of pop or something so I let off the gas a bit and it cruised just fine the 2 blocks home. Just got home from work, tried to start it, it started up but died within a second. Now it wont start I have 2 people already e-mailing me about it and the printed ad comes out Thursday I need to get it back on the road! Any ideas? UPDATE: ---------- I looked at it today, the disty turned just fine. So I checked to make sure it didnt jump time, one cam up, one cam down and the flywheel on the middle of the 3 marks (correct) I tried changing the coil wire, no difference I changed the fuel filter. no difference. I looked for loose connections, but havnt found any loose wires. I am going to check the hoses on the back of the throttle body still. Next up is unhooking the fuel line right before the fuel "rail" and seeing if it spurts fuel when cranked. Then I will try disconnecting the coil to see if a spark jumps from the coil to the wire (errr maybe the other way around, dont want gas AND sparks)
  20. I see you are in toronto is that miles or KM?? either way its alot, BUT, if the car doesnt burn alot of oil or other fluids and the suspension isnt all shot I'd personally go for it. If the suspension is all creaky and it leaks everywhere, I'd probably pass unless you want to rebuild the car.
  21. Hmmm it wouldnt let me delete this post, so I will make it on topic... I need to get one of those skid plates for my brat, the old one is so tiny (and I broke one of the mounting holes for it)
  22. The other cars available are a FWD 3 dr (87?) and an 87 (with hitachi) wagon with a 3AT (4wd). Blown head gasket, but the guy says it runs and drives good. I offered $200 and he seemed kinda insulted, I think he wants more like 400 for it or something...
  23. It was a CA model (with O2 sensor and such), It had no cajones, but if you babied it, you could cruise nicely and still get good MPG
