I said it on the XT board and I will say it here..Look for a crack in the snorkle..they are prone to it and it can cause this issue..been there.. done that.. got the T shirt. Dont just look at it either..you will have to flex it a bit to see it. I didnt discover mine till I actually removed it.

I love reading good reports on the redesign..especially the looks.. I love my 2.5i ..do I wish it was the STi..you betcha!!! Love the line "it went like good gobs of silly"

I had a very similar issue with my stock XT6... Mine was caused by a faulty coil...But other things to check..You did make sure the timing didnt jump? I would double check to make sure its right on. Dang it i can't remember right now ..but there is something about the timing marks on the flywheel and if you use the Chiltons or Haynes their instructions arent right. Also after re reading..did you take into consideration the fuel system..seeing that you upgraded the injectors etc. Check to make sure you are getting the right fuel pressure

Gary...are you going by the stock guage or do you have an aftermarket in it> Just wondering cause I went through so much with mine and it turned out to be just a faulty guage. Huck zapped it with his lazer thermometer and showed the car to be running at the right temps to even alittle cool. I know I have but havent instyalled yet..and aftermarket in mine for my own piece of mind. Just re read post..I would zap it with a lazer and see what its running at. With everything you have swapped out ..if it is truley running hot that only leaves the radiator pretty much

:slobber::slobber: new parts:slobber::slobber: Bottle the smell of the new clutch and send it to me:grin: Actually I am getting ready to go put a new part on the Imppy and also a new part on Rocky. New parts rule!! Almost as good as Grits!!

Me Too!!!! Our Little Jess....she is growing up so fast * SNIFF SNIFF* So spill the beans..what parts did you get girl????

Those are for bugs and rocks..deflects them over the roof of the car and keeps the rocks from chipping the paint on the nose of the car.

Congrats Ed..It sure is pretty ..I bet your wife is super happy!

What crazyhorse said...just come on out...Last year we had his Lego and another member was there in an Imp..plus a Mazda I think...I dont know if I will have Rocky there this year but if i do go I will either have him or Holly. And BTW I am getting a camp sight which is big enough to put 10 tents on..And I am willing to share

I parted ways with a very very much so loved ( pretty well known here on the boards too) Loyale wagon..very recently.. I gave him to people who I trust fully and I knew were going to give him a great home.I felt bad when he gave them some grief too. I still love that car..always will...but I moved to a 2008 Impreza 5 door..and I adore her too..I dont feel as bad I guess cause the Loyale( Bucky) is in the best hands possible.

Oh!! Its not coming back till spring...I am in no hurry for it...but I also dont want it to be a burdun on Rob who is graciously storing it for me. I am actually going ahead and registering it and am going to send him the plates that way if its services are needed ...it can be used.This car isnt even allowed to come cross country Auto-Shipper till the snow is gone. No-one really knows how much this coupe will be babied..Antique Plates...Garaged..It wont meet the fate of so many East Coast cars...I love these coupe too much to see another one destroyed. I should have never parted ways with my 82 GLF..I could only imagine how it would have been now if I had kept it..Look at what I did to the XT6 and that was way further gone. I want it..I want to see it and touch it..but I also want whats best for it...and that is it staying where it is now. And I am done after this..No more...No lifted wagon until the XT6 finally dies. I wont become one of these people who keep buying and not doing anything with them. These will all have a purpose: Hollister...Daily Driver Long haul queen. Rocky ..fun toy play car and will drive once a week to help keep some miles off of Holly The Coupe...my treasured show car that I have always dreamed about

:banana::banana::clap::banana::banana: That makes me feel good...cause I WAS feeling bad that he was acting up on you:(. Tell Buck that I still love him but he is supposed to behave for you from now on. And hopefully I will get to see him soon ( Bucky is such a good old boy)

Actually.. Thank You for the offer...But someone else wants to drive it across country for me..and may go that route.

Just a quick update..The coupe has been picked up from its PO and is now with Turbone for safe keeping till it can come this way

Neo..when I drove her to FL..I couldnt believe how comfortable she was...no fatique what-so-ever.And I drove her non-stop for 14 hours. I think too many are just being close minded about the new design..they need to go out and actaully drive one before they make up thier minds.I hated them at first ..until I saw one in person and then drove it..I wouldnt have put myself $21K in debt if I didnt like it. And Thanks Neo

The EJ22 is actually a better engine than the EJ25..has fewer issues..The 2.5s are head gasket nightmares..Also the older ( 96 and older) EJ22s are non-interfernece motors..I huge Plus to the home mechanic.

I dont know if you want to call it a wagon or not...and I know most of you will think she is ugly but..I dont really give a flyin rats rear: Hollister. ( Holly for short) I find her to be absolutely an amazing car..well designed and comfortable....and contrary to popular belief..Beautiful.

Your right that Starbucks is expensive...But at least you got yourself a dependable one;)

And here I thought Jess was swapping to a cheap fuel alternative...Grits:lol: And for the backfiring??? Doesnt the owners manul say to keep a lighter handy to engage the "boost"??

I saw the pic of backwoodsboy pearing out and thought...WOW:eek: 1 redneck power..dang that things gonna be fast;). When do you 2 want to get together?? Maybe have a work on the Brat day??

:eek::slobber::eek::slobber::slobber::slobber::clap::clap::clap::clap: I think that about says it...GORGOUS!!!

Actually..they never really made anything to modify the car..you have to make it yourself.There is a body kit that is in the process of being re- manufactured called a Kaminari Kit...A much better resource for your car is subaruxt.com All of us XT and XT6 owners are over ther and tons of useful information...but again..I hate to tell you ..there isnt anything out there bolt on mods

And don't forget there are 2 levers for the tilt steering..the small one and the larger lacking one along the column underneath. This long one is the one you use to actually set where you want the steering to sit..the small one is to lift it for easy of getting in and out of the vehicle

And the answer is nooo...first off its a FWD model..plus in these here parts that car is considered prestine,sweet,show quality or close to it..It will be just restored maybe swap the carb to spfi but thats about it. cuda..that sounds like a game plan.:grin:There will be no cutting corners with this...ya'll think I babied my others??? HA!!!
