I owned a white one of these. What a blast to drive! Enjoy it and keep it cool. Radiators for those are tough to locate and if yours is original, it's plugged by now ;)

How does it run in the snow, noticed the Firestone's, which worked well on my ea81 hatch.

Trying to imagine how awesome the 2.7 with a locked diff would be in the coming months!

XT6 suits me well and is my winter vehicle of choice, also has clutch type LSD and usually snow tires. though i prefer it, the differences may be nominal from my newer Subarus,.  XT6 is worth a lot less so if i slide off these steep grade, snow packed, unmaintained mountain roads or someone slides into me (both of which have happened) i care less.

The XT6 is a tank in snow with these Winterforce tires.

i ran it a few winters, now off the road for this winter.

Sweet ride! If the radiator does need replacing, don't the BRZ ones fit almost exactly? Or is the XT6 radiator a different shape?
