SubaRust II

You guys are quick!! What about max speeds? Probably shoulda put that in the first question huh? jim

Super-dee-stupid question: The loyale's 4wd is it an all wheel drive style that can be used on dry pavement (like the full time stuff), or is it the 4X4 truck style that can only be used under slippery and loose grades (like my buddy's ford exploder)? I've only pushed the big red button in the snow just in case. jim

Wow, lots of posts, in a little time! Took me about 30 seconds in the offroad forum! I'm thinkin 3", some 27 inchers and a hi-lo 5 spd from the DL I believe. Seahag1978, You wouldn't happen to be proud the owner of that old gold wagon that parks around the Hathorne hotel? You may of seen me ogeling that baby from the seat of a deafening blue loyale. Or you've heard me roaring through downtown salem on the way to work. I'm gonna love it here, jim

Hi my name is Jim and I'm addicted to ugly station wagons. (HI JIM). My first Loyale (90 5 spd) was doomed from the beginning: the guy that gave it to me raced sailboats and the poor wagon would sit 2 feet deep in salt water twice a week, which was never washed off. It was the rustiest beast out there. Ten monthes later I got hit by an 18 wheeler and DROVE HOME. That old monster didn't even flinch, she lasted another 3 monthes and the front end, the clutch, the tranny and the tick of doom (i shoulada bolted the headers back on) conquered the poor thing and her last voyage creeped 30 miles up 128 north to my house. So I bought another: a '92 Loyale 5 spd AND the 4wd works on this one. She's a bit busted up from two fender benders, has 102,000 miles, but the 4wd rocks, the engine purrs, a the interior is spotless AND little to no rust on this one. I found you guys wandering through a google search and have been reading for the last day or so. It was pretty shocking to find out there are other lovers of the old subaru's. I'm home, jim
