vortexx Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Just wondering how many XT/Vortex owners there are here. I've just purchased an '86 XT Turbo and I absolutely love it:D I love the grumbly sound and feel of that boxer engine and the arcade style dash board. What more can I say about the stick shift....I love it I love this car because it is so different to everything thing else on the road....well, except for the other XT/Vortex in town:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerFahrer Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 88 XT GL here. I'm actually setting a goal for myself as to just how much I can restore the car with eBay stuff Currently it has eBay timing belts and front oil seals, an eBay MAF sensor, an eBay alternator, I expect to win a set of eBay plug wires in a day or so, and who knows what else? I just put a set of alloys on it last week, and will edit this post later today when I get pics of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price on subaruparts.com is like $60! I also got an almost new XT6 radiator a few months ago for under $100 bucks. I make it a point to check for parts every few days...

vortexx Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 "1986 XT Turbo 2wd here. Soon to have an EJ22 in the engine bay thanks to a blown headgasket" Is that a Legacy/Liberty engine? Turbo? If not, does anyone know if a 90's model 2L Legacy turbo engine would work ok in an XT? Anyone done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
