Welcome Bob. I'm here in Missoula as well. Lost of great info and people here on usmb! -
The 91-94 Leggy turbo was faster than an SVX? I know they're heavy but damn...

I know you said you're making numbers up but to me 40% is wishful thinking. From my experience it's more like 70-80%. I've rebuilt 140 or so of my own cars over the years and found that the only way to sell a rebuilt title car is if its really cheap, wasn't involved in a major accident causing frame damage or airbag deployment, and most important a car that a lot of people want to own. To the OP. Considering the description of the car and your location I would be happy with anything over $2800

What are they asking for the car? Do you have a link to the post? I'd love to see it. I have a 1991 XT6 too.

The rollbar... and the wheels/tires... I, I just don't get it. Good luck with that sale.

Build Thread: 1988 XT6
201motels replied to jdmleggy97's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Seems like any good one to be found is in the pnw or california. They're getting to be quite rare. Congrats on finding a good one! -
Does anybody know why the automatic transmission in a 2002 Forester is a 1 year only transmission? And only used in the Forester? This was a surprise to me. Everywhere I looked for a used transmission it is only 2002 and only for a Forester. Possibly a 1 year only gear ratio? Just curious if somebody knows why.

Audio/electrical help? 88 Subie DL SoundWagon
201motels replied to Thomas88DL's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
A 1 farad power capacitor or larger should help with the subwoofers giving them an extra boost of power. Not sure if they make them anymore but there was aftermarket extended brackets for mounting head units into the 85-94 cars. They extended out from the mounting hole. They even had ones that accommodated the trip computer next to the stereo. I had one in my old 86 GL-10 wagon. And I also had a couple of subwoofers but my amp was only about 400 watts. -
New Member looking to swap a Boxer 2.0 in my 95' 300zx
201motels replied to Veganpotter's topic in Subaru Transplants
Very cool idea. I have a Z32 myself. Great cars. To see one with a Subaru engine, and it gets 35mpg? Awesome! -
Ooof that's not great. I assume there's rust holes on the rockers by the dog legs when you open the rear doors? One of my H6 wagons originally came from Pennsylvania (which is a salt state) and looked similar. Drove great though. If it's rusty or has issues I wouldn't waste your time. There's a lot of clean 1st gen Outbacks available (some without motor issues) and they sell for cheap. Even 2nd gens are cheap and plentiful.

New to me 1990 Loyale
201motels replied to IFlyS5's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
That's A great looking Loyale. I dig the 2 tone with the tint and racks. Man my old 1982 GL fwd sedan was fun and capable around town but on a steep mountain pass it was downright scary! With a top speed of around 45mph you always were watching your 6, and forget about passing that semi-truck.
