Valve cover gaskets are no problem. Believe it or not, the 2wd are supposed to be quicker. No extra running gear to slow it down. The car better be in excellent condition for that price tho, you can get a full time 4wd for that amount.

I know someone local to me that has a XT6 with 17" wheels and low profile tires. It looks sweet and doesnt change the profile of the car at all. Just make sure all the tires match exactly when you get them.

No, you have it right.

Ha, you havent been to Washington State yet. I'm going to take some pics tomorrow and show you the difference.

Yup, thats what happens when you dont have the FSM in your lap Did you check the dip stick to see if theres any fluid in the trans?

Brian, your sounding like a N00B I think theres something in the USRM and its been discussed enough in previous threads there should be several pages of info.

All the manual trannies are like this.

No, the diff and tranny do not share fluids. Thats to kinky :-p The "plugs" look just like that(they are innies, not outties), they need a square or hex head wrench to be removed. Sometimes a 1/2" drive rachet works.

Looks like the East Coasters are coming to the West Coast to find rust free Soobs Maybe someone should set up a brokerage?

Congrats. If you have any more questions, you know where to come!

Well, you didnt say if its a POS or not. Some people have no manners

Check the diff fluid. Theres a dip stick for it, passenger side I believe. Then check the fluid for the tranny. This I think you need to remove a plug on the side to check, theres 2. One to use to fill and the other for draining. I'll go out and check mine to make sure. *Update - Thats the skinny. You will have to jack the car up and the plug is on the drivers side. The fluid should be up to the top hole. It takes 85W or 75W-90W.

Just for the heck of it, try and short the terminal with the black wire of the starter to the postive post right below (on starter). This should turn the car over and (hopefully) make it run. Just want to rule out a ignition switch prob. It will spark alot, just a warning. Make sure its not in gear either. *Edit - Make sure the ign switch is on.

This is so you wont run the battery down if you leave the lights on with the ignition off. Ignition off, lights off.

Darn, thought I sent you one back. All I really need is the 6 part of the decal. If you cant do that, send me the XT6 part. Any type will do, lines or not.

That looks more like a dealer option than a factory one. But nice to have! Got the flashers on the fender too?

I'll take 5, please

Once you drive a 6, you'll have a hard time driving anything else. There was another post from a couple days ago about somebody buying a XT6, might look at that. Also, over at XT6.net you will find all the info you need there.

Hey, I thought they didnt have B-Days for people that old Oops, what am I saying. I'm older than you Have a good one buddy, it dont mean nothing when you get past 40

I suggest pulling the gov off and giving it a good going thru. I think any name brand AT fluid would be ok, but it takes alot if you do a complete change - 6.3qrts.

As far as I know, only the XT's had them here (80's). and Ross, you may want to proof read your posts

Well, I already asked if there was water in the oil. So I guess the next question is...............Is there oil in the water? What is this? A trick question? And I also assume the HG is bad, but the intake manifolds could be also.

Same here, had someone say it looked like a Prelude. He was promptly educated

Man, I hate it when I show up late. I missed all the foto ops Nice pics Jared.

If your lucky, the air suspension is still working. If not, it can be changed over to standard suspension. Make sure the power steering has the correct fluid in it, only Subaru OEM fluid is supposed to be in it. As with any Soob being bought, check the oil pressure - the pump might need a new seal kit. Most leaks up front are due to bad crank seals and cam seals (and once in a while - a leaky oil pump). Find out when the timing belts were changed last, if its not known go ahead and change them. I think the XT6 sometimes gets a bad rap, but I think its from people that dont own one. These cars, IMHO, KICK A$$. If you have ever driven the older ones (70's/80's 4cyl) this car makes them look like dogs
