Subruise

if you dont want or cant afford a shop, i can do it for $200 (you buy parts). i like to pull the motor when i do it. its worth the work to me and i just did it a few weeks ago on my 91 loyale wag. servicing everything is a good idea, taking a motor out is not something you wanna do twice if you dont have to, and workin on that stuff in car isnt fun either. RV

i have a 2" lift on my 91 loyale wag. 205/75/r15s required cutting in front of rear tires and behind (to move mudflap out of the way). the fenders also got a re-radius. im currently eating axles (they dont break, just boots explode, get clicky etc) and tires in front due in part to bad alignment and part because i didnt drop my xmember(geometry lesson) . i know people say you can get away with it, and you can, but this is the cost. im also pretty sure it can be done better than i did. imho if you dont wanna cut you should go taller to get 15s in there. good luck, *also there are two angled blocks and one straight block for the front facing stud for your lift* RV

semi-off topic: so verdict? tie rods flipped good or bad?\ RV

nice wagon man! ive got everything but the passport and michelin stuff for my 86 wag. second owner etc etc. way to go, now just get yourself a fullsize spare under the hood and youll be on your way RV

ya man, sounds like you are pinging. play with the advance a little, try higher octane maybe. glad to hear you got it all together RV

i dunno if it was one of us..... looks more like a NABISCO move to me RV

my manual says the compression is the same. 9.5 to 1 for spfi and carb ea82. i just put a carb motor in my 91 spfi loyale, and converted it. this motor is better than the other one i had, leading me to believe my book. i had to change the egr pipe on the top of the head (the fasterners were different) and plug the egr ports on the exhaust ports. i left my intake and everything hooked up in the car and put a new longblock in. good luck, RV

nic wag! nicer festy!!! man, i miss mine soo much. i had a 91 same color, honda killer. welcome RV

have lotsa fun, guys. wish I could be there but my engine blew up yesterday so ill keep you in mind while im fixing it. tryin to get up to scott and get a motor. happy trails!! RV ps it still got me home:headbang:

a loyale or gl may fair a little better but i dont think youll have too much trouble. RV

fuel filter. happened to my 91. good luck RV

if it goes loose again it will be an indication of a damaged hub from slopping around in there for so long. RV

are cb radios required?? if so ill bring one but its not hooked up:rolleyes: RV

i usually slide the biggest flat screwdriver/prybar under it and lift. go around the wheel, like you are opening a paint can. good luck RV

oh wow, i was unaware of the difference. thanx for the knowledge drop gloyale RV

a mint 86 2wd turbo gl10 sedan:lol: sorry guys, back to reality RV

ya know, you really oughta swap out those '85 mirrors for some that are less sought after. id hate to see em get broke. nice rig man, RV

also check you hubs to make sure this isnt the issue. denial didnt help me as one of them was stripped more in one spot than the rest. initially i thought it was ok, then i had to take it a part and fix it right. no harm in fixing everything tho. RV

anyone in pierce countyish wanna convoy?

replace it. not worth the risk. RV

i think maybe this discussion would be more "apples to apples" if we were talking toy 4wd CARS (they have 4wd too ya know) vs subaru CARS. a truck is going to be easier to wheel than a car imho. that said i love my subies. RV

just saw your post... if youre still bored next week ill make the trek from ptown. i need to have a brace welded in between my lift "tabs" in the rear of my loyale. that way itll quit slipping on the drivers side and making my car look/perform bad. maybe a little game of frisbee with our beer. RV

thanx guys, like i said, i was 90% sure but you never know. then my light bulb crackled and sputtered to life legacy outback. Drrrr......... RV

will a cv axle from a 96 lego work on on a 96 outback (pretty sure they do but i dont wanna mis-quote the custy) thanx RV

try finding a product called "vynil off". i used it to de-stripe an rv that was sitting in the arizona sun for five plus years. the vynil was almost a part of the rig it was so bad. good luck. RV
