my 1st Subaru!

[Carl B.]

Picked up my 1st Subaru this week, a '91 Loyale, and I love this car. I'll be in the forums trying to learn how to make this car even cooler.

Well lets start with a few things:

 

Welcome to USMB Youll find lots of pictures, information and amazing people

 

More information about your Loyale? Color, miles, auto-tragic or manual transmission?

 

Define "cool" for me?

[Carl B.]

well its a red, 5sp with the push button 4wd. It has 251,xxx miles but was very well maintained so its in great shape. The motor is a little tired, has some lifter tick. Reman lifters and oil pump and I think it will be good to go. Other than that I plan on going over it and cleaning everything meticulously and maybe a 5 lug conversion and some nice wheels. Thats "cool" to me.

There are plenty of write-ups on the 5 lug conversion. I plan to do that to my car.

 

Although if you cant do that currently, the 15" Peugeot Alloys with the recessed spokes, painted black would look amazing on a red car, I had them on my dark blue sedan, and it looked sweet! I have a few pics I can post up.

 

You might be curious on how to post pics/PM etc..

to PM/Private Message, you need 10 posts. Posts dont count in the for sale section or off-topic area.

 

To post pictures with a photobucket account: Copy the IMG code and paste it into a message.

 

As for the Loyale. My 1992 was getting a little tired at 262k... There are plenty of EA82s hanging around if it does let go... but if you want super cool, start saving your pennies for an EJ22 swap... Go from about 90hp to 135hp (and you can do AWD swap as well, thats what Im doing with a frankenmotor later on)
