92 subaru loyale ongoing..375,000 & counting..

[frank ray]

U got like'm... 1.8 engine, I wonder with the gas prices going up
whether it would run on homemade alcohol and gas solution.. Sure would
be different. or will my 92 subaru become a sort after vehicle because
of the fuel economy.. lols..

I am finally straightening the heat/ac situation in it. Few winters
ago my Heater core let go, and it was too cold to fool with it, so I
took the heating hoses and ran it through the ac system.. it worked for
the rest of the winter the car was warm.. Now I have the time to take
apart my dashboard and everything else to replace the heatercore and get
back my ac for this summer. lols.. been saying that every summer..

Thinking of putting in a sunroof in it.. would look pretty good..

The only gripe I have ever had was when I had 5 full size adults
in it, going up a hill.. the 1.8 definitely didnt have enough hp for
that one.. now if I had used some of that homemade whiskey hummmmm..

Almost time to replace the timing/cam belts..ouch definitely
replace those every 60,000 miles or else... u are driving on a
expressway, the car suddenly stops running.. Now I wonder why lols...

When I first bought the car in 92.. after awhile the check
engine lite came on.. hummm I said,, I opened the hood.. yup.. checked
the engine,, fluids check, airfilter good.. yup.. no smoke coming from
the engine yup.. Looked good to me, so I closed the hood, and started
the motor and the check engine lite came back on.. hummm I said,, well
the engine sounds fine to me, no white smoke, so I put some electrians
tape on the check engine lite and havent noticed it since.. los..

My daughter calls it the last loyale seen in
Massachusetts.. Not many.. yuppers me and the loyale have gone through
alot of growing pains......

Well got to go and fill up the gas tank should be about
lets see about 15.00 dollars should do it..

Well I've had an 86 GL (Loyale) for over 18 years. I wouldn't call the
mileage great (My 90 Legacy 2litre, w/ AC does 6mpg better with more power)
But in terms of MPD (Miles per Dollar) it's been great. It was originally my
wides wedding present January 86, brought my first born son home from the
hospital in it, now I've just given it to him as his first car. I am waiting
to take delivery of a 2004 Forester XS.

My 300,000+ car is a 1985 XT GL-10 Turbo and is the car I drove from here
in Walla Walla to Gainesville Florida last fall for my son's wedding. It
is also our main car and still runs around 43 MPG except in Nebraska were
it dropped 10 miles per gallon. It doesn't like alcohol I guess. The
next tank went right back up about where it usually runs but on the way
back, Nebraska gas did the same thing. Odd to me that it would be that
drastic. I'll plan differently after this and avoid buying gas in that
state like I do Oregon. (I don't like them in Oregon having to pump my gas
as they are not careful to put the gas cap back on tight and they also
mess up the threads on the pipe making it hard to even get the cap back
on.) I can get a classic licence plate here soon for that car and never
have to buy another!
