not sure about xt6 hood as I've never taken one off, but even the XT Turbo hoods with the integrated hood scoop and ducting are pretty light. I can lift one up and carry it around by myself. I'd start by removing other stuff if you have an issue with weight. lots of weight in the air suspension lines/pump/tank/struts if you haven't already removed that stuff. A/C weighs a bit plenty of sound deadening you can take out from under the carpet and the xt6 has more doo-hickies than you could imagine, so if you are down for removing weight you might as well switch to non cybrid power steering, remove the trip computer/equilizer/radio, remove the passenger and rear seats, ditch your spare tire, and all sorts of other crazy stuff

do you have a breaker bar connie? I put my breaker bar on the crank pulley bolt, and then I put a pipe on the breaker bar. the pipe needs to be long enough to go to the lip inside the engine bay where the fender mounts down! some day I will take a pic so it makes sense, but I have a pipe I threaded the end of and put a flange on... it goes over my breaker bar and sits on the lip of the fender, so that when I get in the car and turn the key the engine turning breaks the bolt loose. can't take credit for the idea I stole it from one of the geniuses here with regards to this, the whole reason she needs to change it is that the outer part of the pulley separated from the inside. putting a strap wrench around it just holds the outside of the pulley, which still slips on the inside :/

so how'd it go, and where are the pics?

but you can get coors anywhere and it sucks :cool: plus we went to some brewpub where you could see the huge brewery in a glass room in the middle of the building anyway (I see your point though.. $3-$4 beers gets old fast)

nah man. screw the coors tour. seems like nobody in colorado drinks coors (it sucks anyway) there are more microbrews than you can drink in a spring break, I'd suggest trying as many as possible

trico! they are cheap and work fuggin GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT! don't bother with "winter" wipers though.. they are just "summer" wipers with a rubber boot around them.

I'm thinkin it wouldn't be too hard to make one

nope, english mastiff / bulldog mix the lights are just cheapos but they work alright. I like to aim the middle two forward, one kinda up and one kinda down, and then the two on the sides out to the left and right a little

sorry, kind of a hijack, but on-topic with regards to torque not sure if it is true or not but I was reading on another board that smaller intake runners will ultimately lead to bad torque? can't find the post now, but the guy's logic was hard to follow. can anyone confirm?

I'll get some better pics, but there are also hella fog lights in the stock fog light spot

thanks! looks like you guys had some fun

Update 2-9-07 - Racing will be held this Sunday Feb. 11 on Lake Algonquin in Well's NY. Registration will open at 8:30am and close at 10:00am. Please get there a little early as this is the first race of the season and Registration and Tech. Inspection usually takes a little longer.

yeah I posted this somewhere one time... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=57551&highlight=manx

ok well how about he tells you if he passes, and then you can tell me if you pass?

You'd need to have some races first, Mike! :lol: I've got a post up in the racing forum but it has no replies

let me know if you pass on the brat

cancelled last weekend too... maybe this weekend?

mind reposting the pics? I'm not a member and don't want to create an account just to go there once

my uncle lives in crossville tennessee (or maybe he doesn't anymore?) nice brats, but if you don't mind me asking, what are your plans? just using parts off of the "new" one as you need them, or for a specific swap?

that is one insane snorkel

how'd you guys do?

well I wouldn't have seen her wobblin from inside the car on a 500mile drive!

forgot to say that I put a few thousand miles on that car after that before retiring it for issues unrelated, and was so confident in that car that if I'd had the money, I would've tried driving it to california and back. but I told my girlfriend everyday "you never know when this damn crank pulley is going to let loose, come flying through the hood, and strand us in the middle of Deliverance, Upstate New York"

no pics though huh sucker? (parts legacy is doing this RIGHT NOW and need to move it into friend's garage for engine removal)

check the driveshaft U-joints. they will be starting to get sloppy if they are bad
