Correct !

Thanks !

Welcome. Ok what’s the story that goes with the sweetie Loyale ?

My thoughts as well. Read that as - be sure you have patience and a drill and easy-out kit , thread repair could be in the picture too , and better or new bolts. But to me you should use your existing intake and as mentioned above get fresh gaskets. Try soaking those intake bolts super well and for some time not just the few seconds before turning. And as often it should be done turn IN first. You know the drill , don’t have to tell you that stuff. Right ? Little back n forth and maybe you’ll get lucky. But I’d expect corrosion deluxe.

Will check whatever FSM or FPM that I have at home, when I can.

Doing ok up here. No sweat. Winter happened and nothing else as far as my storage goes.

Pretty sure those are still there. Thanks for the bump. Ahh , what a great year , eh ?? For sure I’ll ship and will set any 80’s goodies aside for you to peruse. Temps already way up in Tempe. My son has an Outback now thanks to another great older board member , NVZeno For kicks I joined group on FB that off-roads Subies in AZ - MtnRoo Arizona - and hope my son gets involved but not too seriously. Budget requires he commute with it so he can’t bash it up. Stay safe and healthy. And yes , a little damp still up here. Fine day today though. Enjoy !

Skimmed through the manual and I’m sure you’re covered as far as steering column , etc. Plenty of diagrams and connector pin legends.

Ok cool. Sorry I didn’t just yank it down. Nobody else will bid don’t worry. I still have not checked to see about the wiring around the steering column. In the middle of an ear infection so it’s been tricky lately.

All that gunk built up on the metal filler tube , clean that off , your leak is there. It won’t be a large hole but probably an area that appears to weep. Maybe also a hole has developed. But in general that crap atop the bend in the pipe has caused the rot. 30 years , you said it all. No thin wall metal tube is going to survive that long if neglected as it was. Probably 5% of subaru owners properly wash their car 100% Most everyone misses spots like that. And the plastic shield is the accomplice. Good luck.

Bump. Should have a message from me.

No thank you , I’m seriously cleaning out what I’m not using going forward. I’m happy to let it go to you.

Ok let me check this week.

And paper still rules.

What year ? I’m currently unloading some manuals, and lots of 1970’s parts. In my stash should be at least one FSM for something I owned like an 88 or 89. Complete sets are getting scarce I guess. Those later sections 4,5,6 you’d find nearly untouched. Pretty sure any I would have are going to be like that. Hoping to make more time at storage this weekend. If I find what helps you I’ll post back and message here.

Price is not outrageous. Not for up here in the northeast where you’ll be soon enough. Just got an 03 GT Sedan for a parts car for my 03 Legacy wagon. Jesse - Subafreak totally approves and he is our resident Subaru tech with much experience. We have that 2.5 headgasket fear , but he says no no , not this 2.5 - the ‘00-‘04 gets a big thumbs up. If it’s really that sweet and you’re not struggling to put food in the table so I vote that you buy this one. Get it properly rust proofed.

There ya go !!! Ed Rach , we miss you brother !

Welcome. Interesting place Amarillo. Enjoy !

I’m going to say it’s 80’s. Going through my “stupid amount” of old keys I see mostly F and E with E seemingly being for glove box or trunk in most cases. Then I have known Loyale keys and they are four numbers followed by a letter , mostly X and Y Yeah , from this lot in front of me I’m going with 80-84 or gen 2 Brat or late run Hatch.

No , not necessarily. My fault for putting your XT manual and the key code together. Check with an older dealership and hopefully an older parts guy. FWIW all my older 1970’s let’s typically lead off with an “F”.

Oh , that’s an XT

Yes it could very well be. Not used to seeing “W” but ??

Gotta move to Chile.

If you have 14” wheels it’s because of the market you’re in , I would guess. As mentioned the USA had 15” in that era. There is a diameter match going from 14 to 15. 195/60/15 will equal the circumference of your stock 14”. We have done just that , as have many others , with our 94 Legacy. Enjoy !
