Can't be repaired. The suspension mounting surfaces have rusted away.

Drain the gasoline and change the fuel filters before doing much of anything else.

Cars with Subaru 5 x 100 mm lug spacing
john in KY replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNone of the listed wheels has the same center bore dia used by Subaru. Some are smaller and others are larger and forget about any having even a close offset. http://www.liquidationdemags.com/Guide_des_V_hicules.php

Honest Subaru Mechanic in Shenandoah valley, VA?
john in KY replied to lia's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXBeen 20+ years since I lived in No.Va. and don't know if he still has his business but worth checking to see if Mike Armstrong is still located in The Plains, Va. Located betwen Front Royal and Gainsville on 55. Mike's an honest guy.

value of a 2000 legacy. update cheap LSi 1996
john in KY replied to zukiru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe LSI was the top of the line model in 96. Leather, better paint, better radio and seats. Stuff like that. Should also have the sunroof. Really a very nice package and fairly rare to find.

Help! Fuse block woes
john in KY replied to winters860's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe older Subarus had 4 fusible links under the hood near the battery that controlled 4 different main circuits. Your model I believe does not have the fusible links but rather relays. I'd check them. Bet one is bad.

HELP! No Spark..new coil as well!
Can't just look at the fusible links and determine they are good to go. Remove them and give each a good tug. More then once I have seen them fall apart with a tug.
-
HELP! No Spark..new coil as well!
Probably not your problem but the coil bracket has to well grounded. That "condensor" receives a small voltage from the ECU and ramps it up enough to fire the coil. May as well check the fusable links and look at the back of the ign switch.

battery going dead
john in KY replied to pamike's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSomeone on another forum recently had the same problem. Eventually discovered the light in the trunk was always on causing the drain.

94 loyalle motor in an 1992 SUBARU SVX AWD????
It won't. Actually ER33 engines aren't that expensive. Just not a demand for them.

legacy stereo into loyale
Problem you will run into is the depth of the radio. Used a radio from a 3000GT (Mitsubishi) in my old Loyale for several years but had to find "spacers" to mount it. just can't flush mount just about any factory radio because whatever you use will hit the duct work in the dash.

need a little help, 89 XT turbo
Pull the vacuum line to the FPR the next time you get it run and check for a leak. Also verify with your ear all the injectors are at least clicking.

Stumbling issue
john in KY replied to Manarius's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPull and plug the vacuum line that goes to the brake booster and see if the engine idles differently. A long shot but you never know.

EJ22 wiring harness fun
Could be wrong but the letters identify the individual plugs and the numbers identify which pin in the plug. For example, say you had a plug with 4 pins/wires. Each wire/pin could be identified as A1 A2, A3 and A4. Only real concern is first identiying if the individaul pins are numbered left to right or right to left.

interesting find re: Ej18 side feel injectors
Injectors from a 260Z Nissan are quite an upgrade for the EA82T. John

L/F: XT drivers window
I can recall 10 to 12 years ago the windshield for the XT6 would set you back $1200. And the tint isn't external. Sort of makes everything look slightly brown viewed from inside the car.

L/F: XT drivers window
Always been my understanding all the XT6s got the gold tint and only the XT6s. XTs got something else.

92' Loyale 4WD AT tranny swap question
I did the 4EAT conversion once. Only real problem was swapping the internal wiring harness which was a real pita. Never did the 3-speed conversion but it has no electronics and should be a very easy conversion.
-
92' Loyale 4WD AT tranny swap question
As for the Loyale models, only the 1990 Loyale turbo option got the 4EAT. 1988 and newer XTs came with it and 88/89 GL turbo wagons also got it. The original poster doesn't have one of these models so both transmissions are the 3-speed variety. No problem swapping one for the other.
