  1. new General Altimax Arctic tires today

  2. does anyone have a used loyale hub cap like this 1 just sitting around they'd wanna get rid of cheap? i have 3 of 4 & its really bugging me. i have to throw 13's on it for the next 3 months untill i lift it & get the final wheels & tires on thx ,chris
  3. thanks....i havent noticed it smoking the last few days, the dipstick wasnt even registering any ATF. i added about 5 keg cups of ATF. it smoked a lil less that day,it seems to have stopped a lil. but i also read that the AT vaccuum modulator might have a hole in the diaphram coiuld also make it smoke when turning. i looked @ the short rubber hose that connects modulator to the hard line leading up to the manifold, it feels a lil soft & could be replaced. i checked lately & have NO LEAKS under the tranny. i'm not driving it much right now, just back & forth to the gas station. in the next few days were gonna drain the ATF & replace the filter. i wish we'da remembered to drain the torque converter while we had the engine out. my mechanic is Subaru Certified & is my roommate/best friend, so i actually helped pull the engine & redo alot of hoses that broke, gaskets & stuff that...all we could do is laugh about it. probly spent $150 on hoses that split. it happens on a car this old when nothing has really been replaced. i'm pretty stoked about getting it rolling 100%
  4. Sup guys, i'm chris. i recently purchased a 92 loyale 3 speed auto 1.8ltr...no turbo. when i got it the guy had it @ his mechanics garage. he said the transmission was messed up. he was asking 550 but when we started it, it was throwing white smoke which indicated blown heads. i got it for $300 he said he & friends drove thru deep water & smoked ever since. we redid the heads with a few complications. it doesnt smoke. the trans didnt have any fluid for some reason? it smokes a lil bit when i turn corners now tho? i need to look into it more today, i think i tracked it down to leaking AT vaccuum modulator. the service history on it is 2 inches thick. some old lady owned for years & was really on top of it. why there was no tranny fluid makes me wonder. the interior looks brand new, even underneath the folding back seat was clean & coulda passed for coming roght from the factory. the shift sticker on the console looks brand new. once we get the drivetrain 100% its getting a 4 inch lift & tires to fit soon
