  1. at this point in time this is just to get interest in a project to make a kit for a replacement sunroof gutter (possibly including deflectors and accessories) the idea arose when i saw that my gutter (and i'm sure nearly all of you feel the same) was absolutely fubar! at first i did a crappy home job of auto bog with plenty of silicone which failed misserably now i've been thinking of having the whole gutter fabricated from carbon fibre and been asking around for viability, the only problem is that i needed a near rust-free gutter to make a mould of! i didn't want to do any repairs because it's still vulnerable to leakage and rust so anyway Turbone has generously offered to donate one of his cars Gutter which i'm still in discussions with, and while i have been looking for someone to help me with fabrication, it seems that Fury has alot of experience with fibreglass/carbon fibre! for you guys this project is good for shipping because it's fibreglass/Carbon fibre, so weight is hardly an issue and if you are looking for the kit in 1, 2, or 4 piece sections it makes packaging smaller (as small as a carboard tube!) and i'm sure we could make up a simple bracket to connect the pieces together (most likely with rivets??) anyway if we get enough interest in the project, this could go ahead! just the same as the Kanimari Kit This Topic will be focused on over in xt6.net, the thread is located here: http://www.xt6.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=58761#58761 i will be checking this thread to gather interest/questions/suggestions etc...
  2. i got an XT, my fuel gauge has been broken since i got the car, i'm not sure how to fix it, it's not the sender as i unplugged it to test if it had an effect but the dial didn't move, the problem is if i refueled the dial would raise up to the current fuel level..but it won't go down, i found this out when i stuck a wire in and pushed the dial to empty, it went back up when i turned the car on, turned car off and it is stuck at that level, what could the problem be..and how can i fix it?
  3. i will upgrade the wheels to some nice 17" low profiles, i'l definately keep the original subaru hubs aside! btw what does seafoam do and how can i use it?
  4. i recently bought this beauty in January, it runs so well, done 160,000km on the clock, not very roomy for 4 ppl but it's a great 2 ppl mover..and boy does it move! some images to feast upon: the car is in such good condition..although i need to get the oil pump...or worse, the lifters replaced due to the lifters tapping! after that the car will be awesome to run..but this little 88kw baby just whimpers at me for some attention to add some horsepower! i'm not that knowledgeable about how to do this properly without doing some damage, i wana know what should i do before i even look for what to buy! like do i take it to a dyno, get everything tested too see what it can handle... i want to add a good turbo, intercooler, exhaust system, maybe a new chip but i duno where to start...some ppl told me that i have to test to see if the engine PSI will be stable or something and i should meet other conditions before i venture to a turbo charger..i'm not sure, but basically if theres anyone who deffinately knows alot about these engines and their potential capacities, who can help me! i'd be very aprreciative thanks all
