darsdoug Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 A good friend of mine has finally recruited me into the realm of Subaru's. He live's and breathe's Subaru's. At one time he had 35 Sub's in his pasture. He's been telling me for year's what fun they can be and how easy they are to work on. He even sold me one [$150] just so he could convince me. We spent yesterday changing out a front wheel bearing and just puttering around with my first 90 Loyale wagon, and ...well..., I've got to admit, I think I'm hooked. It has the five speed manual trans with the push button 4WD. It is, I must admit, fairly easy to work on. I'll post some pic's of my first Sub as soon as I can.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Welcome! ... Does your 35 Subies Friend be Here, in USMB Too? Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darsdoug Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Yes, His name is Todds He's on here somewhere. I live seventy mile's away from him and every time I want to work on my Loyale I have a bit of a drive. I just need to transfer the title and stuff and replace the other wheel bearing and I'll be able to bring it home. We replaced the wrong one when I was up there last weekend. Musta been the Red Bull's ? Edited November 5, 2010 by darsdoug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Well... the Wrong one... That Happens, but You might Consider that Usually when one Side Fails, the Other one is about to do the Same Soon... 'cos Usually both Sides where Put Together. So it was a Good Job. Kind Regards.

darsdoug Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 I've been getting some Subaru engine repair knowledge from watching the tech video's on the milesfox website. Subaru engines were a singularity to me until I watched a few of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTman Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hello Everyone! This is my first post and after reading some of the threads I'm happy to see so many enthusiast. We bought a 96 Legacy GT 8 years ago, my wife loved it, my daughter got her license in it drove t for 6yrs. She recently moved to California to finish college and get married. We decided to give her a car for her wedding present. We gave her the ALtima! I wanted to keep the GT! Any car that can go through my rigorous driving and 6yrs of my daughter (drives like me) is a keeper! Not sure about the durability of the twin cam, need to talk to some of you guys about that. We live in Bonney Lake, Wa. up for any events just need to know where to look. want to thank Mike and Veronica for hooking me up with USMB!
