94 loyale wagon 4x4?

I know that chassis well, I am a welding mad man.

if the loyale came with just one extra that the dual range chassis contained, I would swap in a second (it is simply a strong metal plate spanning the tunnel top of the tranny)

other than that, the loyale has all revisions.. from subframe covers with ribs, wheel wells attempted to be stronger down low, the master clynder actually self bleeds (like the older was supposed to and did not) and some continuity issues resolved (bright lights with cheap plastic tanked radiator.. that took a lot of though apparently)

there is still two missing beams, behind front seats.. refer to impreza for ideas. just donlt go monster truck outta the box with it.

the ECU is a slow poke, maxing it out only makes a hypermiler at 38 mpg.. all year round (very smart injection, just not a hot rod- I'd rather fule mileage anyway)

I still keep an eye out for loyales. Would run another after my learnings. good buggies, just keep the belly clean..

 
The tranny tunnel is like that on all the EA82's. It's identical, I have worked on more of them than I can remember and they all had it. I have swapped in dual ranges into many Loyales and they work awesome!!!

 
I'm thinking I might jump on this, just to have something to drive while I look for a car. Even though Gabe thinks its not gay enough for me.

If I have to i will slap some plastic on the back windo till I can find glass or a new gate. The ignition switch is my stumbling block. I'm not sure how easy or hard it will be to put my hands on another. If it is like bikes I will need to show proof of ownership and jump through some hoops to get a new one. Maybe I should just hot wire the pig.

 
so no luck on the obs?

Clutch was smoked and the lady was trying to play it off, so we are sweating over price. She cant seem to get to the point, but I'll have my eye on something tasty later this week. The loyale is all but a done deal, it is just a side project though. Wait till you see the list of new parts and body maint. on that old wagon. I may have a reason to hang out with the cool kids again. :-)

 
Very nice!!! Lift it 2 inches, buy my dual range tranny, and you'll have a monster, that still goes good on the road!!

 
oh sorry carl but that window got smashed out of the hatch you were going to buy from norm's i don't how that could have happened

You would either have to find some puegot wheels or redrill for 6 lug to change the wheel size.

 
Nature intended them to be lifted like mine. Subaru just wasn't listening to nature

And if you have any questions about the bearings, just ask. Bratman has done many, and I still have mine fresh in my mind... if that's a good thing. haha.
