Bucky92 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yup...thats a touring wagon...and looks like a beauty to match!!Too bad its so far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The first model to get that AFAIK is the 83-84 Turbos in Australia and other places outside the USA. They look weird but the difference in height for the rear is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It wasn't only the turbos, almost all '83 and newer wagons are touring wagons here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 That would be a great start for a RX wagon:cool: . Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EYE_WHY Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 :slobber: That is a beautiful wagon and it's in excellent condition too!!! If only it had 4wd, it would be perfect!! I really like that taller height in the back, adds some style to the otherwise kinda bland GLs. Very nice wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. RX Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 But it is NOT a Legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msteel Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 But it is NOT a Legacy. No, not a legacy. But it IS close....to me [evil grin]. I'm trying to decide how much I'd be willing to bid on it. But that brings up a question [Thread Hijack starts here]: I'm really only familiar with my Loyale wagon. Are there any significant differences between the GLs and the Loyales?

Nope...the Loyale is just a GL/DL with a new name basically..It is actually closer to the DL package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 in the description they are calling the motor "inline" somone should kick there a$$ for that Right above that it says it has a V style engine.

75subie Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 retards:lol: but seriously, these don`t even look remotly like a v or inline 4:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uss_essess Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Ok, so maybe I am dumber than a bag of rocks, but how do these seatbelts work? I just picked up an '89 touring wagon of my own, and I can't figure them out for the life of me. Not that it matters, as I can't remember the last time I drove around with someone in the back seat, but it would be one less thing causing me to stay awake at night scratching my head. If anyone can enlighten me, I thank you in advancefor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EYE_WHY Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 You mean the odd shoulder belts instead of lap belts or that you can't find the buckle? I agree, those shoulder belts are pretty weird and I don't see any lap belts. I would venture a guess that its just shoulder belts in the back. If the issue is finding the buckles, they are probably under the bench seat. Pull up on the black strap in the middle, the seat will pop up and they will most likely be sittin' there.

cmiller Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 yeah the other ends are probably underneath the bench seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uss_essess Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I was referring to the shoulder belts. There are lap belts, the other ends are just under the seat, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the shoulder belts are supposed to attach to.

EYE_WHY Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hmm,..ya, after looking more closely at that picture, those should belt buckles look very weird. I don't even think they are Subaru, I don't think any wagon models had shoulder belts in the back. Maybe a previous owner had 'em there for a child's seat or extra safety in the back seat????

Ross Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 You mean you guys have 2 point lap belts in the back of your cars??? Havn't been allowed them here for like, 25-30 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Do they attach to the lap belts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey you already got a white wagon give someone else a chance,,, like ,say , me!:-p I was thinking of bidding on it,,, but it's not 4WD,, not sure if I will bid on it but i could use the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they are Subaru belts. They are on my GL-10 Touring Wagon as well. I went back and looked, and finally figured it out. They hook into a hole in the metal lap buckle, underneath the belt. Then the lap buckle gets put in the latch, and you pull on the shoulder strap, like you would in an old car or an airplane. More of a pain in the rump roast than its worth, if you ask me.
