Bucky92

Pauly Pauly Pauly!!!! I am still around... And I am going to be seeing you today....Melis called and talked me into coming down....and I am bringing the BF cause he doesnt believe that there are more ppl out there as crazy as me about Subarus. I cant wait to see the 73...

LOL..The only thing about the Loyales that I dont like......I use the "wedge it between the parking brake and seat" method..and never get anything without a screw on lid. For coffee....I have a natural instinct now that when ever I brake or turn to automatically instead of down shifting may hand goes to the coffee cup:grin:

Thats the stuff..POR-15. Thanks guys!! Gotto try it.Then dig out my jumbo tube of silicone. I was told that Bucky is jealous cause he is no longer the only man in my life;) and that leak is Subaru tears. Well..I told my other man that I very soon need to spend some time with Bucky but he is more than welcome help and do some bonding.(otherwise noted as Bondo-ing:brow: ) Thanks again!!! Oh and grossgary...Thats what I would really like to do cause I want to keep Bucky forever...but in reality...I want to keep him till there is nothing left of him. Paulyburger!!! Bucky is not like the ppl I live amongst....you know he is littlebit redneck..just like me!

My baby has sprung a bad leak!! He has had a bit of rust around his windshield but it has officially gotten bad...Sitting nose down on a hill at a red light in the rain today I had a small river coming in from the top of the windshield....into my lap! When I got him home I looked at the outside frame around the window and the rust on the top has gotten bad. I dont want to just throw some silicone around it without doing something to keep the rust from spreading underneith. I can't remember the name of the stuff someone suggested to spray on there since I can't pull the windshield and do it the right way. Any help would be appreciated..I want to keep Bucky around for awhile longer and want to keep as little moisture from getting to the inside as possible. I mean this isnt a little drip..I tried to dry it off with some towels I had in the car and it didnt stop the flow at all..It was a constant trickle. But only when he is pointing nose down.

I always look for previous owners service records...if there it gives you an idea if any of the routine maintanence was done...IE timing belts. If they arent available then be prepared to change them before doing the trip.There is also the Tick of Death thing which isnt a major problem but for the price I would want to know if it does have it and what the extent is (how long it goes before it stops). The radiators are known to block up also so that would need to be looked at too. Underneith check the front unibody frame rails for rust.Also....typical axle shafts. As for the oil leaks..these cars are the Gods/Goddesses of the oil leak and can be very hard to track down all of them..but not to bad to fix them(thats coming from someone who has had my Loyale for a year and a half and hasnt done a thing to calm mine down). I personally sware by these cars..My 92 is my second one and has been the best,most dependable car I have ever owned. I love everything about them. Granted I paid $600 for Bucky but found out his KBB is $1400. These cars seem to have a way of taking care of you...even when they shouldnt. I would not be afraid to drive Bucky from coast to coast (after I do the timing belt change which is WAY over due)with his 187,000 miles.

Hey Melis!! I said we drooled....not what we really did:eek: ! Ummmm....I just noticed something new in your sig????Hummm...do I see 93 Impreza?????Spill it girl!!You got another addition and didnt tell me???Or Did I miss something???

Hey Paul....Sorry I found a new boyfriend...but honestly..I am trying to convert him from Toyota to Subaru:grin: .He has heard all about this North East group of Subaru ppl and wants to meet y'all. Doesnt understand us though..but what can you expect from someone who has never had a Soob. I have a deal for you though...I have a large basement...if you need too you are more than welcome to store some stuff here. I am still dying meet the 73......and sit in it and drool...kinda like Melis and me did secretly to your 78.

Awwwww Paul!!! Hope you are feeling better soon! Take Care of yourself!

I fell in love with Subarus awhile back with my 88 GL wagon..needed a delivery car and dog hauler and there it was cheap...I love everything about them...they handle well..great in bad weather (even my FWD ones ..which was all of them) easy to work on...specially since you dont have to often. Gas mileage is terrific and they will go when they need to...before Subarus I had stuff like my 71 Mach 1 Mustang 428 CJ,70 Mustang Coupe 289,86 Daytona Turbo Z, and a bunch of VWs for beaters...and my Subaru have always been the best....now I can't see myself driving anything but a Soob. I think it is cause they love you back....they first win you over and then absolutly love you back...I have seen Soobs take care of ppl when they really shouldnt have..me included. Out of my 3 that I have had my current Loyale is the most special...dont know why but he is. Yes I want another one either newer or older but I want to keep my Bucky around till there is nothing left of him but some parts to become doners to another deserving Soob..that way he will live on. Thats what it is about Soobs...they are just special!

Ahhhhhhh..The Ford Maverick...what a piece of cra-----garbage:lol: . I remember smoking a built up one w/ a hopped up 302 with my 70 Mustang coupe 289...title for title (grudge match between neighbors).I didnt take the title to it though..didnt want to insult my mustang with that thing parked beside it in the driveway. I dont think the name Loyale is bad....at least it fits mine...Bucky has been very loyal to me and me to him:brow:

I got in on this kinda late (been away for the weekend). I will defend a Loyale to the death!!! I absolutely love mine.Just like I love the DL and GLs..I just prefer that body style.My reason for being so happy with less is cause..its less that you have to worry about breaking! I looked at a 2001 Impreza not to long ago and was suprised at how much more room I have in my old Loyale.Plus I get 35+MPG (FWD)and it has been the most dependable car I have ever owned (and I owned alot of cars). Even with stuff wrong they just seem to keep going and going.I laugh at other ppl at the gas stations....as I put $5 in the tank I know I can drive all week on it....so what if its slow..it will get up and go when I need it to. Loyales Rock!!

I tried something different with Buck tis-morning...and no smoke..But I couldnt get him to kick down below 1500 RPMs until I shut him off at the gas station about 20 minutes later. But it was 3 degrees! LOL Matt..he if Bucky wants a smoke break thats fine with me..I just dont want to know what he is smoking and I surely dont want him to share.

Cool thanks!!! I was thinking something similar to Flowmaster about the vents but my thought was they might be clogged cause I didnt clean the car off yet (snowed last night). And I can understand what Qman said ..I did kick him down but he was still idling at 1800 (he races at 2300 at first start-up) for between 10-15 minutes. Thanks for easing my pain:grin:. Over protective of my baby.

This morning I went out to do my usual warm up of Bucky and when I came back out 10 minutes later the inside of the car was loaded with smoke..smelled like burnt oil ( I just topped him off the day before and did get some on the exhaust so that smell is understandable) I am just curious why so much of it ended up INSIDE the car..comeing out the heater vents... Once again..am I over reacting or is this a common occurance or an easy fix..or what would be causing this???? Thanks to you all in advance

Hey nkx! technically I am a local too ya know....I grew up outside of Harrisburg and then lived for 10 years in Perry County:drunk:.I still have to send my registrasation in..been kinda busy....trying to convert the new boyfriend into a Subaru lover...its been a hard task too..at least he doesnt drive a Honda.

Turbone....I wanted to put all three:grin: but I put the center one up.If I had a good color printer.......or even a printer...I would have printed all three out and hung them on my wall!!Actually I saved all of them on my puter so I can switch now and then. Thanks again!

Thanks Turbone!!!! One of your beautiful coupe is now my wall paper!!..I am jealous though..I want one SOOOOOOOO bad

I have been searching for a good pic of an early 80's GL coupe to use as wallpaper on my puter...since that is what I want ..I want to keep reminding myself of what I am working for. So if anyone has a really nice shot of one I would really appreciate it.

At least you are OK and thats the important part..Dont forget a Subaru will gladly give up its own life to make sure its loved ones stay safe.

Way To Go Paul!!!! I cant wait to see her!! I feel bad about not being able to get down there last night but....diner and a movie with a hottie..I just couldnt pass that up since its been a long time. Keep me some EA81 parts handy though...Melis and Dave are "researching" something for me:grin:. Its a little bit outta my price range but you never know.Plus Melis emailed me saying they want to go over it better yet. Tell Pat sorry that we didnt get to see the glorious moment but he was in our thoughts...and still will be till we all know he makes it safe and sound back home.What an amazing man and an amazing journey.

Yup I know the deal...but I dont know if I will be able to finish Pauls "moment"cause I have a Date!!! this afternoon with a hottie...and its not a beautiful Subaru either. Urg its almost 1 pm and I still have to get dressed and clean out Bucky. I have this nice pair of 78 wagon fenders that need a little TLC for Paul to see if they can be saved..( I love that car!!!!) Hey Melis!!! Please dont forget to check on that coupe you spotted for sale for me!!!!Please!! You know I LOVE you!

MATT!!!!!!! I am so sorry I couldnt remember your name I knew it was Matt or Mike..OK you are MattMike now to me .It was great to meet you and enjoyed becomeing intimate with your new under 1000 mile Outback Sport! You forgot to mention about Paul walking around with his "bone" for 10 minutes, our version of "Who's Line is it", Big Meat!...and Confetti!!! But I was sure you were going to post something in the lines of ...those ppl are outta their stinking minds!!!!They are warped!!Be afraid ..be very afraid!! But you fit in quite well. Hope to get to se ya again at some other outtings

My 92 Loyale had a knock under load back in Sept.about 2 weeks before I had a noticeable problem with my ignition system.Once doing a good full tune-up and cleaning my injectors the knock went way...I still have a tini- bit of the TOD but thats getting better with the use of MMO. I used to always think the worst when mine makes a noise (Its my only car..no back-up and its my baby). But I have learned to always look into the simple things first before thinking the worst.

Awww thanks Paul;) .Actually ..your the best..thats why we like to help you out..you help us when we need it ..we help you. I am going to clean Bucky out so if you need to load him up and do a dumpster run:banana: we can..plus I can bring some of it (not a whole lot though) and dump it off in mine. I should be back down between 11-12 and hopefully catch "the moment" on film! If I can get the camera on it time maybe even get a short video of it then make you a copy(my digi camera is actually a camcorder). Today is the day!!!!!! Sweetbaby is coming home!!

Its 2 AM EST and I just got back from Pauls...I think we did it!!! I think we made room for the coupe!!!! 12 hours of cleaning and discarding alot of stuff but I believe we did it!.Dave and Melis and (Oh I feel stupid..I cant remember the other guys name:banghead: ) Paul and myself got alot of work done.We were hoping to be there when the joyous moment occured. I feel very bad that I had to leave before we were finished bringing everything back in but I was really tired. Anyway, going to probably head back down tomorrow morning to get the look on Pauls face on film!Dave and Melis better post the pics from today..some of them have to be classics!!
