  1. Given the book value of the car i did not. No need to dig a deep hole for truth not getting pursued properly. Maybe I'll pretend I am religious, let the voodoo and witchcraft fly until the day of real reckoning . I have encountered this before, with an accident in the woods of Maine. I can't quite remember how many years it took to resolve. To this day, in the area that this falsity happened, I avoid. "Life in the slow lane" <- jokingly Maine motto.A perfect sign for the retards capitol of the world- becuase a stupid person is not a disease. My heart isn't actually filled with joy over this thought. When I can't think, I walk away, alot of this place just doesn't know enough to do that - hence laws. May they keep working out our lowly expense, with a damn BRAIN that FUNCTIONS.
  2. ok thanks. I am in pursuit of more info from owner. Here locally be it dealer inventory , the four headlights you could count on a carb, the bug lenses oem, have never been seen with a carb, unless someone put it there. Either way, the GL found was from alaska, 120k. Meanwhile, I found a photo'd clone on the net of the camaro that likes to push loyales off the road and run away.. Gm had a "z28 brown" further proving his playful v8 with my little car and the honda he was also harassing. I know not many from Maine are here in this forum, but I will post a "wanted" here. The driver had black hair, clean shaven. Having driven a camaro, he was not a short guy sitting in the drivers seat. The car, if untouched from accident will have several spots of white on the front right tire, and possibly fender.If spotted locally, would love its Maine license plate number. photo below is exact. The damage, again, would be on its right side somewhere. An expert could also prove momentum of the skid left on my car - he was the aggressor speeding up, causing accident. I just called the state troopers desk that handled the case. I will find why the motivation was not there to catch it. He ran for a reason, I am left with a totalled car that doesn't leave the road by itself. Every part was new/excellent before this event.
  3. True. The person who explained it to me says it has buglights like loyale. It must be spfi already? Will check up on it soon. I am putting the 2wd engine in a crate, fuel pump etc if what I want happens. Believe it or not, I am sensing tension from the landowner where I am living.. before this is even resolved. Coincidentally the same way I lost a dl that needed welding. I am real lucky. I hope there is no problems with sawzalls and an engine in the driveway in a matter of hours 91loyale: I was no doubt pushed hard on the front. I am assuming a drunk or other mind altering weirdness with the driver. I absolutely had to use the left lane, he must have been out of mind. In slow motion I looked right at him as the inches were closing in. Bizarre. Check photo at bottom of this page http://93loyale.com/accident.html It shows the beginning of the push that sent me. No matter what the biased police officer thinks, it was a hit and run, fleeing the scene of an accident, and driving to endanger, although, the little honda was going so freakishly slow, legally too slow for highway?, that driver could be in trouble. I am finding it way out to lunch that the officer ignored what I was saying and he even made a wise rump roast remark after mentioning the camaro: "Well he's gone now, we won't find him." Lets all give a big round of applause for trooper Daniel Ryan of troop E maine state police. He wouldn't know integrity if he got sideswiped by a drunk guy in camaro avoiding an old lady doing 35 on the interstate if he had it recorded himself on his video cam. Maybe if I mentioned I was a disabled veteran, with my disgusting facial hair and all, he would have listened. Repulsive. Truth prevails one way or another, and I'd love to witness it happen out loud anytime soon.
  4. here is my last classic loyale video.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1cKN8h4vFk befores and afters, etc. The aftermarket fenders did alot of work. I am real glad they were on the car and new. They are indeed an important structure strength. (65?mph impact)
  5. this photo is right next to passenger cylinder head. I am not going to tackle it. I was informed of an 86gl today real cheap til this gets figured. I was jostled no doubt, as facts were coming to me all day.... 17 years of driving, I have never encountered this impossible scenario- the only cause is getting cutoff, nowhere to go. My insurance company has a "blame yourself" mentality apparently, until proven otherwise. the slow honda that drove me to sudden defensive action had a left rear flat tire. The reason for it going so slow? I know I didn't cause it. I hope this isn't a case of lies and fleeing the scene of an accident all at my expense. The jerk in the camaro knew I needed another lane fast, did nothing to get out of the way, then sped off, never stopped. there is 2 wrongdoings, and I am stuck in the middle with a wrecked car (pun intended). This crease is like the other side, bent the whole front end, and engine crossmember is sitting out of level. I will not be fixing it. As subaru_dude said, the stuff I did (most of it) is easily trnasferable to another old sube, but no doubt rusted all to heck in comparison. Sad day for me, thanks for support
  6. I had an epiphany. If the car was climbed up on as quick as it was from my point of view and the nut in the camaro... it may explain.I had cars just behind me, we all were in a similar momentum around the speed limit. The honda must have been going super slow- no hazards on.The honda did have a flat tire (honda was on my right). How does a dentless paint brushing from my car to hers cause a flat? Is somebody LYING? I think she was going to slow for the highway.... add to this it was on a corner you just can't see all of. The mystery thickens. I did the best I could. Paint squeezed off on two cars with me in the middle no dents. It was so close, my drivers mirror went forward to the speed of fast camaro going by me, and my passenger mirror went backward to the speed of me going by the honda. Tighter than a mouse fart! The guy on the left doing 70 and one on the right going if half that. Rear ending the slow one would have been a pile up and at a minumum somebody getting wounded. Sacrificed the old sube . My car is a hero that selflessly died to save its fellow citizens! I deserve a new one ! Wheres my lawyer?!
  7. After a year and a half of work... one jerk in an old stinky exhausting camaro decides to pinch me between a slow car in the right lane, and his retarded dominace of the passing lane on the freeway. He kept going after a quick nudge sent my car into the guard rail. It was a brown camaro, with my white paint on its right side maine plates, driver had dark hair, male (We got close enough - I could see he was clean shaven in the dim dash lights). As of now, there doesn't seem to be much concern to catch this nut in the camaro by state police. Bizarre. I am pretty sure this is totalled.
  8. Drive it of course. I awoke early, cold autumn day, colorful seemingly overnight. I found my favorite roads and went slightly beyond the speed limit, letting the leaves fly. Ups and downs around the corners, and even passed a tractor trailer on a back road.You would know my car, it sounds like no other. The bellow of an old ea82 running good, almost sounds like my old v8's, as I reminisce of cars past -- they didn't quite make it like an old sube can. My 2wd reminds me of the fastest OEM cars I have ever owned, only its a stick shift, lighter, and getting 35mpg doing it.Ahhh life is good. To change something would be going into the extremes of the automotive world. I am just too content to do so.... I even let my frown go about the 5 main bearing lunatic someone deemed a boxer four's evolution. Anyone relate? I can't believe just yet, there is nothing to even tinker with on my 13 year old "freebie" sube.Cross my fingers. Keep after the old ea82. It really is decent. http://93loyale.com I even kept track of this unlikely 2wd winner. Helpful tips. Along with usmb, the old sube can be better than oem. I won't be posting for awhile, seems I have made a habit to do so nearly every day since april 2005 when I found usmb from the web. It helped me change some timing belts before I even joined.Been fun, alot of help. I even got to air opinions in the popular "blogger" type atmosphere.Until next time.. thanks all.
  9. It was brushed on with a toothbrush from a can, non-thinned .very strong paint with 1 part epoxy. The second coat after realizing it was fixing my engine burp woes , was at least an 1/8th inch thick layer of 2 part clear epoxy by permatex, with 2500psi and 200 degrees. It just finally cured within an hour and I am smiling. 3rd gear 7000 rpm, 77mph. Not used to the extra burst, I nearly locked up trying to catch my normal exit. Now I am almost skipping at idle... I wonder if I am moving some gunk around internally the engine has never seen in its 161k miles and 13 years (not a single engine repair). I even got a wif of burning oil,like it squeezed out on the exhaust. It passed the test, now I am back to driving like my grandma. 18 months of tinkering, I never caught on to the sucking side of pump. Very elusive problem.
  10. This weight-of-the-car-from-the-door-tag is made in wonderland by Alice. Yeah. The inmates in wonderland stampin tags without facts to pass thier time in prison for doing something unreal for subarus and hondas and every other wannabe-heavy-steel car company with a tiny engine pretending bigger. ... . I did not even try to jump my car on purpose. I could pick up the back end of my loyale with another person. I will get it in photograph. My scrauny 135 lb self on one wheel well, and someone on the other. Will that help describe what 1500 lbs does over four wheels for REAL ? I remember in highschool reorganizing the mini-cars physically by our own arms and legs with a group of friends to make it so they couldn't move forward or backward to untagle the mess we made.It was quite comical, and also taught me a lesson about real weight and fake-it-for-international-standards weight. I still have friends infuriated for life after learning this "real weight" stuff too. I am not one of them. I just can't be the dukes of hazard downtown and realize I am driving a true lightweight.Live and Learn.
  11. I guess I averted a disaster. My car runs different. I finished this off with 2 part epoxy by permatex (I have used that on a bit of everything that needed a strong seal/glue). Wow. It has been burping when cold since I got this car going apr 2005. It sounds like a mini-exotic, full power now. Get to that pump while it is good! I really recommend this as a preventative.
  12. I concluded the pipe coming out of pump is the rustiest spot on my car... and guess what? its got 20psi of fuel going through it! I used ts-100 part 1 epoxy , smothered it. fuel resistant, dries for very high impact. Temperatures will never be a bother.I took one of these pumps to 17 years, I wonder if I can beat that now....
  13. The 2.5 inch on a turbo'd six is still huge. I have had gigantic high comp v8's that loved 2.25 inch and even then it was too big sometimes. Here is an sti on the autobahn doing 150mph. Here the whistle? Do you know where the sound goes letting the outlet side breathe too much? take a guess...I wonder how the 5 main bearing dainty crank does at that speed when shattering.The one in vid seems to have a quiet exhaust, assuming oem. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/997f0234-f1a8-4553-8bc3-982e00ee06c7.htm if there was a 2.125 (1/8) inch pipe on a higher comp EA82 turbo. I would personally push my luck with that and nothing more. Letting outlet side out bigger and there is a true gain, then you've won. 2.5inch seems huge.
  14. There is 2 heads into 1 pipe, whatever shape it is. I agree about the turbo not needing anything after turbo outlet except for my real life experience with an exhaust gasket on my fathers 475hp cat diesel. In the passenger seat I noticed ever so slowly the turbo guage nearby climbing into the high 20's psi then into the 30's after 100 or so miles. The whistle was making my eye twitch. I shrugged it off as "it is just a big fricking rig". Turbo was right on the other side of the firewall where I sat. Outlet facing me to further make a perfect error.I went to chow down some lunch and a tooth burst for seemingly no reason. It was ther damn turbo gasket leaking on outlet side creating a super frequency that twitched a nerve in my head. So you tough guys can all pretend true exhaust isn't necessary,and I will go through the rest of my life with chunking teeth. Thanks. Tiny stroke or not. Tune the f***ing thing correctly.
  15. They are indeed light. The manual states 2200 for my 2wd sedan. It is the lightest of all ea82, including the 2wd coupe (I am assuming the rear glass is the little difference- hmmm, heavier than the steel trunk of a sedan: Hint, Hint). I am wondering "where's the beef?" I have literally made the unibody inforgivable with roof rack rails. I have jumped the car off of all four wheels. I compared it to my brothers ATV. 2200 is alot of weight. My sedan is not that heavy.A 60 lb toolbox in the trunk is dramatic.I am assuming the density of steels for the weight is indeed the driveline. The tranny is quite heavy for the space it takes up-I am willing to bet it is the heaviest center piece of the whole ea82 generation. I remember joking about a 3 inch stroke in a 327 v8 crankshaft... (which got better mileage than a 2.5 EJ motor-- did I mention 300hp and 9k rpms casually?) but anyway..my friend who owned it made an rump roast out of my opinion just by taking me for a ride in his full size pickup that had the engine eventually. 2.64 inch and scooting right along with an EA82, must be super smart with weight and lamination of thin steel to make it move. My 4wd revealed it all the time, just how weak it really gets over years, then to decipher the daintiness that needed fixing. I am guessing 12-1500lbs, not even a ton. :-\ Below is photo of hill I jumped (Downtown Brewer Maine). The light was turning yellow, I gave it all it got to catch it, I was maybe doing 40mph going down towards it. All four wheels right off the ground. I learned what the real weight of my car is. The next day, I tried it going up the hill, and sure enough, right off the ground in the 40's mph.The loyale is a lightweight- as it appears.
  16. I was at my bro-n-laws garage the other day. He has his 1980 trans am all in pieces all over his garage.It runs a 400c.i chevy motor. I remember spotting the way the front end frame rails bolt to the unibody as it reminded me of the permanent shapes and metal in my loyale. For the heck of it, I grabbed onto the front of the body of his trans am and lifted. I picked it up easily, as well as the back end. He took it apart himself and moves it all over his garage as need be. I really wondered what the actual weight of a loyale is. Can two people pick it up without the rear diff and driveline? The weight given on the doors is way off. I would guess by at least 1000 lbs or more. Rather than guessing .. has anyone put the car on a scale, all axles at once to get a true weight? For a 2.64 inch stroke engine to do what it does, it must be very light, I would love some numbers. It would also help ratings of power accurately documented.
  17. http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpTechGas.htm I found this stuff, I am assuming to be the stuff. Seems like a great idea. Cleaners are almost keeping up, but this seafoam goes for a bit more volume to really clean it out by its own instructions. It is difficult sometimes telling the difference of wires and just old dirty engine. Given the intake is spotless, it must be a dirty engine.
  18. 2.5 is huge for an ea82. The turbo round mufflers around 2 inch are good. The flange is a must have after y-pipe, something will break without it. I went two inch with hardly restricted, and thought it was not enough back pressure. The ea82 is a tiny volume/stroke turbo or not. Speaking of 2.64 inch stroke... I saw a kingston flash drive for pc's with the same length as a ea82 stroke (66.9 mm). It put into perspective how small subaru really made this engine (EA82). Wind it up like a turbine I guess... get a "ricer" effect out of it. I really can't make fun at it, it does alot of work for displacement. Don't give it a big exhaust, it is truly a little engine.
  19. Was my albino cross spider mimicking a big wet snow flake? I saw western new york today in the news with a record breaker snow fall. All the critters that were in the yard have disappeared.....I also recently read about a driver who crashed trying to get a spider off of himself after it lunged in at him locally. It soes to show there are others not expecting some of these critters the way we have been getting them this year. Now off to get a picture of those little tiny birds that flock together in crazy aerobatics landing on and around my car for reasons unknown. they are pecking at something on the ground all around it. I wonder if I deionized a low volt thief and they smell Mcdonalds or something climbing out from under the hood. Oh what nature can tell us.
  20. There is a bunch of 1781cc fans out there, I can't get the combos I want. This is one left describing engine. Not even "94 ea82" worked... I am not geekishly alone in my pursuit in my state of around 1million and not all driving. This could be the plate.. no doubts. QDZTL - means its an acronyom for something. Qdeez TL ?
  21. nope. Advance auto. It is very stable, as some of us know an old sube can peacefully idle below 200rpm sometimes, and it never flickers the lights. (That is my new alternator in an old sube test) . I verified this morning the cable is truly ok. the burps must be dirty system. Cold engine needs more fuel, and my car doesn't like giving it. I did get some black carbon showing rich when punching it while cold into 6k rpm, to show me it is dirty. I put some fuel system cleaner in and it runs perfect, until the cleaner goes away. I can tell when it is burned out of the system as it goes back to the same anomoly when cold. I won't take it seriously, it is staying dynamical beyond any carb I have run on any engine.Keep adding cleaners I guess, the wires are good.The filter is napa for the fuel... and I don't know what else to do. I have taken spfi apart entirely, out of engine, and cleaned, as well as engine.
  22. It's the very last 3 main bearing four cylinder boxer in the US. I did find some stuff about the citroen that maintained production in small numbers in Russia,possibly into mid 90's, but never verified. World wide, it could be citroen as the last, but for usa it was a loyale.
  23. here is a few more... "alast4" or "a last4" seem to keep my personal vote.
  24. Fusible links can be half bad.. the one under the cap that is stamped "1.25" was my half bad one after a new alternator. verify with guage similar to test, if it works, I don't know where you can get the numbers oem is after. any wire anywhere can do it, but targetting grounds and things designed to burn like fues is best start
