Yup good mileage. GPS confirmed 30mpg on the trip home over stevens pass. Still have a ways to go on the second tank:banana:

That is on the list. Right now the auto does ok and gets good mileage. But a 5spd dr will be aquired and installed as money permits.

Been doing some searching this evening as to the best way to wire up back up lights. Do you all think that it would be ok to splice into the original back ups' harness? That way they come on automatically. When I build my roof basket I will have some general purpose lights facing the rear on it as well, and they will be on a switch. Mike

AND NOW..... SOME PICS [/img]

I will come up to meet everyone. No wheeling though. My family and I might continue on up to Mowich Lake. Seeing as I live in Carbonado and it is the last "Town" before Evans Creek, it would be a shame not to come up and introduce myself. Also as a side note, I may have available for use a fair sized piece of property and a large two car garage with some tools if someone needs a dry place to do some work. Ill just have to move some things around a bit. Cant wait to meet everyone and get a closer look at your cars. Mike:banana:

Sorry, we just moved and I cant find the batteries to the camera. As soon as I do I will post picks though.

HOLY CRAP!! I didnt think the pick would be THAT large. SORRY:eek:

Wow thanks!! Here is a pick of the wheels, I dont have them at the house or I would measure them. Thanks alot Mike

I have a set of steel wheels from a 66 chevy half ton truck. They are six lug 15 inches tall and 6 inches wide. If I need to I might be able to post some pics. Thanks:-\

Just went over to Wenatchee to pick up a 1990 Loyale. Been looking for a couple of weeks and found nothing but heaps of poo. This one was worth the drive. 1990 Loyale, 3 owners including me. 147k Paint in decent shape, VERY little rust. Needs front tires and not sure what to get or how big I can go stock. I will look into that later. CV's all in good shape Engine runs very well, timing seems to be off though. It was pinging pretty bad when I test drove it. So I put mid grade in it to bring it home. Took care of almost all the pinging except for the steepest part of westbound stevens pass. Three speed auto that seems to be in fine condition. PO claims a high of 35mpg. Looks possible, I got aprox. 29 on the way home. I will know exactly when I refuel. Interior is in PERFECT SHAPE. Power windows/locks work perfectly. It has AC but the compressor doesnt engage. Not sure if it is a fuse, low freon switch(if these have them) or bad compressor. I will be trouble shooting that soon. Also a set of yakima cross bars too. All in all a great little car. Especialy considering the $900.00 cost. I have missed having a subaru. I will be checking the posts for lift info ect. Not sure if a 2 or 4 or 6 inch is for me. Gonna do some learning about this auto too. My first one in a subaru. Any how just wanted to share the joy.

Hi guys, What a great source of info. Fantastic web page. I live in East Pierce County, in a small town called Carbonado. If anyone has been up to the Evans Creek ORV Park then you have passed my place. I am currently without a Subaru, but looking hard. Looking for a lower mileage OR well maintained Loyale DL or GL wagon. Mostly for a daily driver and then a lift and whatnot. My family and I enjoy being out in the woods and spending alot of time together. I work for BNSF as a student engineer and enjoy the work. I look forward to reading all of the post here and getting to know everyone. Thanks for a great page. Mike
