Loyale 2.7 Turbo

Well... you Know I love History. Hybrids aren't anything New... the Very first in 1900 ... ... was the 4WD "Mixte" built by Ferdinand Porsche; which had an Electric Motor to power the wheels, a couple of Batteries, and a Gasoline Motor was mounted to move a pair of Generators, to extend reliability; it even broke Speed Records then, and won a Rally in 1901, driven by Porsche himself. More info: ~► http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_electric_vehicle#Early_days _______________________________________ About the Subaru "Tourer" Hybrid... it remembers me the Subaru "Exiga" Concept: it was shown for Years in auto shows, with minor changes, until it was Released for Sale... The Early (2009) Subaru Tourer Hybrid concept, was Modified and Renamed as "Subaru Celeno": As Usual, more info on the "Strange & Weird Subaru Stuff" Thread, ~► Here. ____________________________________________________________________________ But Subaru had another Hybrid Concept Before: 2005 Subaru B5-TPH with a "Turbo Parallel Hybrid" Engine: Once Again, that Photo is taken from the Above Mentioned Thread, where you can Read more info about those, Also ~► http://www.supercars.net/cars/3221.html Kind Regards.

Thank you!

I posted Images & info of the "Subaru Tourer" Hybrid Concept, in year 2009, @ the "Strange & Weird Subaru Stuff" Thread... Here's the Link: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/50983-strange-and-weird-subaru-stuff/page-18?do=findComment&comment=850059 Post Nº 422 Kind Regards.

I need to know more Background history from that Weber carb you "Dropped" in that engine. Maybe it is Clogged / Dirty \ wrong jetted... or has worn internal gaskets. It is an Used Weber, isn't it? Even if it doesn't develop any vacuum leak, the carb itself could have an internal gasoline leak... So, if you don't know much about that weber, I kindly suggest you to dissasemble it to Clean the inner parts. Also to change the internal Gaskets... Good Luck! Kind Regards.

You're Welcome! My Subaru "BumbleBeast" also has a 15.9 Gal Gas Tank... or they robbed me at the Gas Station! Kind Regards.

... a Beater? ... I believe that Those Good Ol' GL's aren't Beaters if they're properly maintained and / or Modified. So, I Agree with Mr_Loyale. Except when the poor old car is in So Bad Shape... and still moves: it could be considered as "Beater" then. Kind Regards.

My Dad used to own one 1972 Datsun 1600 like that, but it was Short Bed, with the L16 Engine. The Doors tend to open in Potholes... and the Single stage Master Cyl. on the Brake made it Quite Dangerous... So finally my dad Sold it in 1995. Kind Regards.

About this: I've been pulled by Police officers a couple of times, because they wanna ask me: "How the Hell you fitted Those Nice Rims on that Old Subie" ... ... They had Old subies at home. I Tend to Drive like a Grandma, Mainly because two Reasons: First, People at my Caribbean Country tend to drive very Bad, so Going Slow helps me to Avoid a Hit; and second, I usually drive my Baby Daughter to her Kindergarden and Back... One interesting situation I've not shared with you yet, is that almost all the Kids on my Daughter's Kindergarden, believes that my Subaru "BumbleBeast" is a Transformer ... ... Kind Regards.

Thank you for Brighten my Day!

Yes, I'm Lawyer ... ... This Jalopnik article, remembers me the time when SOA choosed a Photo of my Yellow Wagon for their Website's cover: ~► https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150736327136689&set=a.10150626738451689.383896.101616856688&type=3&permPage=1 Kind Regards.

Once again, seems like I'm lost in Translation... ...Award to whom?

Hey! ... ... What a Surprise! Many thanks to the Article's Author and to Nipper to post that Here; it is a Great unexpected Honor for Me, which has brighten my Day; This Honduran Subaru Nut Writes Awesome How-To Manuals I'm Really Thankful and that motivates me to Continue contributing with my Writeups ... ... Kind Regards.

For Offroading (Mountain) with a heavy loaded Subaru Loyale, I kindly suggest you to see this Suspension Mods' Writeup: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/106807-improved-shock-absorbers-and-spring-coils-on-loyales/ Kind Regards.

There are Some -few- of Us in USMB who did that Swap; mine lasted Ten Years, now is Wrecked; and I must say that I Really Agree with 86BratMan, to do the ER27 swap isn't good Idea, unless you build a "SubaruStein" like This: But since many people -like you- asked more info about the Swap, here I posted a Writeup on the Subject: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/122165-ea82-to-er27-swap/ Maybe you find it Useful. If that were my Choice, I'll fix the XT6 instead... Kind Regards.

Really you want to Know about That? Well, it was during the year 1987, I was 12 years old; My mother wanted to fumigate the house because it had been invaded by cockroaches that came from a neighboring building under construction, so I took everything I could out, covered the rest, and we took all the necessary precautions; but we forgot to raise the Windows in the Good Ol' Mercury coupe that was in the garage. We left the House for all that day long, in my Subaru "BumbleBeast" (it was almost New and White then... ) Photos of my Mercury: ~► Here. We assume that cockroaches fled the house by the fumigation, and got into the Mercury ... The surprise we took up the next day, when Dad decided to take out the Mercury for a ride... You can't imagine the Disgusting experience it was, with bad words being yelled in the Garage... The Next step was to Fumigate the Mercury

That Mice on the car problem is unseen here in my warm country... ...But we had a Cockroach problem once, in my '69 Mercury Coupe. Kind Regards.

Pure Awesomeness! But Wait! ... it is a Subaru: it is expected that Perform Great, like that! Kind Regards.

Yep, I believe it is another problem, usually related to Dry and / or Loose Belts; but if it only sound while you're going in Reverse, maybe the Mounting Screws are a Li'l loose... Kind Regards.

I know those old GL's Power Steering pumps & System are designed to use ATF fluid, but if the leak is very tiny, I kindly suggest you to Flush all the ATF out from the System and replace with Fresh Power Steering Fluid with anti-leak (Seal Conditioners) Additives. That Lazy solution worked on my "BumbleBeast" and has more than a decade without Leaking a single drop. I believe It is worth trying that on yours... the Steering will become a Li'l Harder than with ATF; if that doesn't work, at least you'll have a clean system to work on changin' the seals. Kind Regards.

We have the Subaru XV available here in the LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) since 2010. You can download a .pdf Brochure of it, Here: ~► http://www.mediafire.com/view/?tp7eyf37099lysl The LADM specs does include a Dual Range 5MT: More LADM Specs Subarus, ~► Here. Kind Regards.

Thank you, now I Understand the "Pac Man" shape of the O-Rings when they fail ... ... I've been told by Local Friend mechanics, that the Thinner Oil makes my Subie's engine Noisy, because I have "Accostumed" it to the Thicker 20W~50, Others told me that thick oil somehow does Quilting the impact between metallic parts, in a better way than Thinner oils does. Kind Regards.

It really looks Clean & Nice, 4WD Automatics are Good, you know the advantage of the Torque Converter, but the car could be a Li'l more Gas Thirsty... I believe it is a Very Good Car, specially being in that Shape, but How much it cost? Kind Regards.

Welcome Back! ... I'll Sing up there just to see your Wonderful Subie in Action! Kind Regards.

The Pac Man idea sounds funny but I Don't understand completely what you're trying to explain... Well, I believe that I forget to write some Background info of my EA82's History: As I wrote in my "BumbleBeast" Thread, I had to change Both Heads and Valves in 1995, also the Waterpump and the Old "Rubber-Only" Seals with the Newer "Metal Core" Seals back then, I did the Weber Swap in 2006 and a new Oil Pump in 2007, But everything else in the Engine is Stock. So, I don't believe that worn seals are acting as "Pac Man" ... isn't it? Maybe I'm lost in translation again... The fact is that a thinner oil than 20W~50 does make my EA82 Noisy... ... once per year I do an Engine Flush and I pour an "Hydraulic Lifters' Additive" to the Fresh oil. Kind Regards.
