Corky's Garage Saga
How about a roller, like a barn door? I know you can still get the slides for those. That way it wont take up room like a swing out.

XT6 2WD AT stays in 3rd gear regardeless of vehicle speed or gearshifter position.
If its a 4EAT, its most likely the TCU.

paint ideas for Hass's XT (Dave)
I know some have a different opinion, but I believe theres only one color for a XT (or any car for that matter). Black

Update: The XT6 is MINE! ALL MINE!
Make sure all the tire sizes are the same, Fulltime 4WD does not like different tires sizes at all. It certainly sounds like a broken T-Belt, take the covers off and have a look. Besides that, its just the normal EA82 type stuff you need to deal with. Oil pump, timing belts, serpentine belt, alternator. Make sure all the hoses are in good shape, etc. Good score

XT6: Haynes or Chilton?
Ditto that. Look on Ebay for deals on manuals.

Spotted soob in Auburn, WA Wednesday May 25th
Your in a area where theres probably a dozen Soobs like that. Your also pretty close to a few board members (me for instance), might check the members list.

86 XT Turbo
If it was 4WD, it could be worth $500. Turbo heads in good shape are getting hard to find. And considering its a AT (I know your partial to them) and 2WD, I would only say $300.

Keep an eye on Ebay, thats where I got mine.

Trust mechanics or you guys??
Do you have ABS on your car? Tire size could affect the functioning of this. This happended on my 92 Mazda truck when I put oversize tires on, it became non functional. Might want to talk to a Subaru mech some more about this.

Rx coupe
Look up Ross, he's in your Hemisphere Our cost of living is quite different from yours, not to mention the dollar. One in that condition, here, would fetch up $1500. Maybe more, maybe less.

have xt-6 need help
I was at a Pap today where there was a XT6 with a rad still in it. I was getting ready to remove it after I got the fans and stuff off and I looked down at the bottom. Where both fans had been the cooling fins were seperating from the rods and falling out. I didnt even remove it the rest of the way

Good job guys! Wish I could have been there to help :-\ Corky, that looks more than a 4/12 pitch :-p And hey, the shingles match

Update: Spotted: XT6 AWD ... Q's
From your description of the car now, I would say jump on it before its gone! $400 is an acceptable price for one in this condition. Hopefully the problem is obvious when you get it home, sometimes XT6's can be a bear to troubleshoot

Please Talk me Outta this
Connie, I just sent your box of goodies off - you better keep that Coupe! Dont worry about the $ right now, send it when you can. And I'll see what I can find in the local PAP for a water pump. Hang in there babe

The End of an era for the NY/NE area
Your right Paul, this chapter has closed. But another is just starting. I had a friend die while diving, on my anniversery, May 6th(no, I wasnt with him - his wife was). I went to the funeral a week ago Sat and had to go alone, my wife is in a Nursing Home right now. So, your not alone Bro. It seems ike the older we get, the more we have to deal with(death, etc). But we have to move on and make the best of what we have. I hope to make it to the East Coast someday, and I want to see the "Reformed Subaru Church". Take care bud.

Update: Spotted: XT6 AWD ... Q's
The Brat stuff should fit a Gen 2 but dont take my word 100%. The XT6, well if they dont know the condition of it I wonder why their asking $500? If its got a blown engine (check for a bad HG or Timing Belt), I would say less - maybe $300. In your parts its going to be hard to find parts for it. Altho you have all the goodies there for the 5 lug swap Add up all the parts at their cost if you were to pull all the parts, and then what they would take for the whole car and go from there. A salvage title is ok.

Finally Have A Brat! Parts Questions
Heck no, those arent standard I wonder what they came out of, it looks like theres controls on the side for elec adj even. Might not look to bad once its cleaned up
-
Finally Have A Brat! Parts Questions
The seats are different, but being a non Brat owner, someone else will have to clarify on the dynamics of the seat

Finally Have A Brat! Parts Questions
Hey Pat, I know your Brat Buddies would just love to give you all these goodies, but you still need to pay for shipping. I have alot of tan interior stuff, unfortunatly the dash I had spent time outdoors, but lots of other stuff that doesnt need to be shipped. And you know what my prices are like

Finally Have A Brat! Parts Questions
I know of someone local that has a black Brat, I PM'd him once but he never got back to me. Dont know if its still 4 sale or not. I might be interested in a T-Brat

5spd tranny swap BIG PROBLEMS!! revised!
Its a little tough to diagnose car sounds over the computer :-p I would say jack up all 4 tires (safely) and run the car thru the gears and see if it makes the same noises. I've heard front hubs that were stripped out make sounds lke this, but the tire wont move if thats the case. If you had a issue with the driveshaft scraping, I would be looking more into that. Also on how much you tweeked the linkage, it could cause gears to no match. Btw, what flywheel and clutch did you use? Are the bell housing and tranny mated together tightly?
