  1. Ever since i got my FIRSt subaru, and before that!!!! on every vehicle ive owned, i've wanted a set of yellow fog lights. I love the look. Finding them is a completly different task. in my buddies 2.5rs, he ALSO wanted yellows, so we got some PIAA's that claimed to be yellow... but when looking at the car with them on.... you could MAYBE see a little bit of a yellow tint, they weren't yellow.... I understand the color temprature chart, and how the 2500k is probably the yellow i want.... then i saw these online... http://www.autotoys.com/x/catalog/PIAA__H3_ION_CRYSTAL_YELLOW_GREAT_FOR_FOG___BEST_13555_p_935.html Wondered.... those LOOK yellow, but are they??? then i saw THIS: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yellow-HID-CONVERSION-KIT-3000K-H1-H4-H11-H3-H7-H10-FOG_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36476QQihZ016QQitemZ260145254016QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Any ideas??? i just want a yellow yellow yellow light. I would like to just purchase the H3 bulb, or if theres some other clever thing people have come up with. these would be going in my XT6 with existing fog lights, but i'd also like to get a set of hella's in yellow for my legacy, and soon for my GL-10. thank you!!!!!!!!
  2. the switch was half on. my buddy is a little on the short side...and... well... we'll leave it at that. all is well, and everyone is my hero(s) thank you !!! (he says thanks as well!!!)
  3. hey everyone, thanks so much for the response... my buddys car is 177 miles away, so i cant run out and try the tests... and he's a busy guy.. but we'll see when his prioirites change when his battery dies *sorry andrew, i know you're reading this... hehehehe *
  4. Hey All, Thanks for the responses, This is the owner of the vehicle writing... I had a whole interior cleaning done but not a detail so just a vacc and wipe is all. I doubt that they could have got to any wiring to short the lights... but who knows. Do you all think we will have to trace the lines and see if it is shorting out?? They didn't open the trunk as far as I am aware. I appreciate all the help and stuff, Thanks!!
  5. isn't that something to do with the gas tank? like some secondary overflow tank or something? i remember reading about the legacy sedans and wagons and how they had a different...tank ....thingie ...that was for the gas tank.... thats my vote... but hell if i know
  6. hahahahahaha i dont even want to think what the next post is ok ok ok okok ..... so no ideas huh? could it be a short in the trunk somewhere???? thanks everyone!
  7. i know that these tires aren't either type... but my buddy just got BF goodrich G-Force tires, relatively in-expensive, and man they're AWESOME! i'm picking some up for my t-leg. my $0.02
  8. I agree, or ANY coupe!!!! that new hatch might be ...sorta kinda sorta not really cool in a coupe.... but it'd be a coupe!!!! ...yeah they need a 2 door again... with a MONSTER H6 3.0 Twin Turbo BWAHAHAHAHA. 6 speed DCCD front and rear Limited slip... .....lets seee, what else do i want on it.....
  9. What do you mean IF Darth Vader drove an old soob... He SO had one before his Pod Racer, thats how he got the idea!! If you look really closely in the movie, you can see his 4X4 mudflaps dangling behind his tie fighter. you know... ...for asteroids
  10. Hey! my buddy has a 2000 2.5RS and recently went to a car wash, and now his tail lights are on ALL THE TIME. when the car is off, (little switch on steering column is also off) headlights on or off.... still on, and the brake lights still work.. but lights are on.. his headlights were not affected i told him its a short... but he has no manuals or anything so i cant see a scamatic any suggestions?? thanks!!!!
  11. WOAH WOAH!!!! what is this area 51 place?!?!? are you talking about out by the airport???! the missle silo place?!?! Dude, i'm going to be in chico on the 3rd.... Let me know if you see anything at the yard.... also what i do out there... i bring the guy the part, he looks at it goes... "ummmmmmm $23" i go " i brought $12" he goes "...yeah ok" hahaha ive done it like 4 times... hella funny my $0.02
  12. Yeah i understand, i didnt think it was for me... just trying to keep the peace I was actually directed to you grossgary by the XT6 people on the temporary site... excellent. i will check it out. And as soon as i get it, i want to wash all three of my cars and make some kind of photoshopped american flag, since i have a Red Touring Wagon, a White XT6, and a Blue Gl-10 Sedan. Oh man, too much free time or something...... although i am at work on a saturday at 6am....
  13. ok ok , i'm sure it wasnt meant that way. we all love these cars... we couldnt intentionally put them in harms way. .....noooo worries and subarujunkie, i'm probably going to make a caravan over to frys with my buddy driving my wagon, if you want, post your # and i'll give you a call when everythings gone down. Saturday the 4th, probably about noon or so.
  14. this one will be pampered just like my other two.... and i'll probably keep it forever.... i'm bad like that
  15. it looks awesome...... so i'll have some of the more rare cars subaru ever made..... i'm excited so any insight into the power steering?? i know nothing about the XT6.... but i have a feeling thats all about to change
  16. Yup, i'm going to get it a week from tomorrow. (august 4th) it looks really nice. sorry i snaked it!!!!
  17. Hello! SO I've been looking at XT6's and theres one that the power steering is not functional. the light is on... and hasnt worked for 2 years evidently..... I started reading a bit about the power steering system and see that it is ....wierd. After searching I read about the "Liquid gold" $27 a bottle power steering fluid. i'm just curious about what usually happens to the system? Whats a normal cause for it to go out? is this a simple fix? is this a horrible, awful, get-a-piece-of-electrical-tape-to-cover-the-light fix?? i tried XT6.net , but as i read further, its having...issues and will be back soon? Help me brainstorm. I'm thinking about getting one of these cars... but i'm scared!!! Thanks!!! Luigi
  18. just went to Pick-a-part in hayward... nothing. Theres like 1 or 2 carb'ed 2wd wagons and a few 2wd legacys... i remember this one time there was a XT AND a mazda 323 GTX. that was a good day... so dont come down here... TOTAL waste of time... unless you love the junkyard... like me
  19. wanted to bump incase people hadn't read.... I think i will ALWAYS be a subarudude. p.s.. the wagon just made a 1700 mile trip AGAIN to washington from san francisco with not so much as a hiccup... .....and thats with the 4 hours of traffic coming back into california over the mountains... all the VW's and BMW's and all sorts of W's were overheating....mine NEVER budged below half. I <3 my EJ22T (and EA82T!)
  20. another thing that was there (or is there) is the relay for the rear wiper... just found this out.. thought i would share:)
  21. hey, yeah i think so... the car is still available.... i was only in town for the day, and went to go look at it.... i told myself the two things i didnt want was 1) ciggeratte smell inside... cant stand it... and 2) carberator.. just cuz ive never delt with the carb.. and if the car doesnt start, for me to start to diagnose the carb would be bad badness.... i'm still bouncing back and forth. the car needed a battery (none with the car) and all the feeds had been paid... but it hadnt been smogged... so... who knows what the CAT looked like or the such... I think i made the right decision, and like what was previously said... for 100 bucks i'd put another 300 into it... and then i'd have a 400 dollar car that i could have bought for 400 bucks..... thanks to everyone for this i know my posts go a little crazy... you guys (and gals) all rock my socks
