Woo He looks so Good !

there are some defects but I'm Happy with him

 

Yeeeee !!

Sweet, too bad you didn't yank the tires when you shot him :-\

But it looks good, in spite of the skull :-p

 

Oh, and nice sketches, they almost look like you got them out of a coloring book.

I Love it.

 

to me scubert is a Race Car.

I Love it.

I love the front, but am definitely not a fan of the rear. To each his own though, I do love the ER27

Looks good, needs gold wheels.

Eeeeww Gold. No

 

i'm thinking Black with Chrome Lip or All Black with Red Design in center

Looks pretty damn good from the pics, even with stock motion wheels on it. I love the color choice. I think it would look good with a lip spoiler on the decklid, like the rx sedans, and lower it a bit. Does it still have the air suspension?

its good job few imperfections that we missed. but i'm happy with it.

atleast we will know were next paint job.

 

Paint is #947 from Subaru and the black is #957 from subaru

(mica Ruby Pearl & Mica Black Pearl)

 

and you bet i'll use SUBARU Paint !

 

as for spoiler i have one but i dunno if it'll look good on him. i got it off my cavalier i once had. its on subie (my loyale) now.

 

no air suspension i bought him that way from the original owner.

added details

Problem tried xt forum and wanted to see who can help me here.

 

engaging scuberts clutch the rear thumps from 1st to 3rd 4th and 5th cant notice the thump.

 

was told rear differential bushings. which i cannot find any were. anyone know were i can get them ?

 

also told black RTV Silicone would fix it.

 

last resort is the silicone.

Dealer is the only Place to buy Diff bushings I have found. RTV is only a short term fix.

 

Maybe GD will offer some advice..?

i tried my dealer here.

 

they are rump roast holes with attitude.

they insisted i find out whats wrong with it and i knew what i needed.

 

and pay $50 an hour for them to figure it out. when i told them what i needed.

Update on Scubert XT:

 

4 Brand New Tires.

 

215/60 R14's From BFGoodrich

 

what he looks like now:

Seen on most Muscle Cars & Hot Tods

The mount "bushing" on the rear diff is not replacable, you have to swapout the "mount bracket" itself. Any EA81, EA82, or XT6 mount bracket will work. They are all the same.

 

My '88 XT6 had the same stance as yours on the rear, it had the coilover swap done before I owned it. Was told to flip the top mount brackets for the rear shocks, and that would lower the rear a couple inches.

 

Liking the new look of yours.....

i dont want to lower it.

 

i like the rear higher. shows that scubert is Stuck-up

 

i'm trying to give him the " Muscle car " & " Hot Rod " Attitude.

 

think i'm getting it right....so far

Sup guys!

 

I'm slightly new to the forum and this will be my first post. I was really hoping that there would be an XT thread and alas, I find this here!

 

Here's my story. I recenty saved an older XT from the cat food can route. I am currently revamping it so I can get it back on the road.

 

Hopefully this next question isn't too tricky. I plan on rerouting the wheel power to the back to make it RWD instead of FWD. I'm going the whole nine yards in fabbing a custom frame in the rear to hold the diff and suspension as well. As this XT is the FWD 4cylinder model, is it possible to swap in a transmission from the XT6 6cylinder AWD version? Would the bolt patterns be the same?

 

Or could I use a tranmission from a Loyale?

 

I'm open to other suggestions on how I would do this. Thanks!

Ironhydroxide sais its my Center Diff since he shifts perfectly when diff lock is on.

i would love to make scubert 6pd Manual.

 

EDIT:

Remember ! i'm going Muscle Car with him. so any hot rod/ muscle car head here let me know !

 

greatly appreciate it.

Aspartame FTW !

Ok, I found my XT has the EA82 engine. Which is great because I'm positive I can swap in an older 4WD tranny from a Loyale.

Update:

New Rear Brake Pads

New Left Front Axle
