i say ditch it for a 2wd n/a XT seriously i get like 36 or so mpg. i image i could improve on that but i'm pleases with it so far. i am interested in seeing how much you get outta wagon, i say, more power to ya! and drag coefficient idk Google it, cause i stumbled a crossed a page that listed like every car ever. it was crazy I'll try to find it again for ya and XT= .29 (win!) lol

so, no go thus far because i am moving a 100 miles north and since i am transfering i only have like 1 night to move so i've been packing and such. i should take a pic of the XT tho because of how bad it is squating from all the crap in it.

O joy! lol alright im off to the junkyard today. how can i go wrong with only spending 20 bucks total? but I really want to thank you GD for the phenomenal idea.

SOOOO after reading this whole thread... will the nissan alt fit my 86 XT non turbo with factory A/C(no not removing that, hey it's florida, its stinking hot) grammar and sentence structure depleting it's 3:30 am and i work at 8 picard facepalm:lol:

not my worst, will have to ponder about this for a day, but definatly most painfull and recent. so i was changing a tire on a 20' rim with a 35 series tire and when i went to use the phnematic pusher arm thingy i moved it down rotate the tire a bit, still holding the rim and talking at the same time, i get my fingers mashed between the edge of the rim and the arm thingy, and i cant move it because the tire had to much pressure on it and i was in too much shock to reverse the rim:eek:, well after a couple seconds the guy i was talking to reversed it for me. bout twenty more minutes of cursing and running in circles i was back to work. lol

hmm. well i clicked the unit converter on their website and it was preset at UK pounds to US dollars. o well. shows how much i pay attention.

i think those rims are 185 pounds so that makes them like 299 US dollars a piece. but i could be wrong

my XT-DL has no power steering. will fetch pictures tomorrow.

hey that's the same color as my XT. but i've not seen an rx in that color. rediculously clean. nice find. oh and do the timing belts!!

agreed on gutless. agreed on no damage had my y pipe fall off. PO are always your worst enemy

WHY?????? would you do that?

I believe you are looking for the "stuff wanted" section. now if you were asking how to remove and mount your new wheels you would be in the right section:-p

so spray some carb cleaner down the throttle body and see if it turns over. are you positive its fuel and not spark related?

new cap and rotor realized i needed an new one when i did the timing and it zapped the crap outta me!:-p

dude, i am sorry to hear of all the troubles with the sube, i totaly understand that, i considered selling my xt not too long ago, you just gotta way the pros and cons of your decision. caprices definatly will keep chugging along and chevy parts are redicusly cheap and available. i've owned a monte carlo and z/28 myself, i know chevys in and out but i gotta say with that car expect tie rods ball joints, etc etc. not to mention the gas milage. it's all up to you man, but make sure your making the right choice. good luck man -Ryan

super clean car but i'd have to agree with everyone on the gutless boring part, i picked up my xt for about 300 bucks and havent had many issues at all. and is pretty clean shape, the problem is you are looking at a dealership car, look for private party. plus you once you get it you gotta think about timing belts, tensioners, this knocking issue. and it probly leaks oil like every other ea82. i'd say if you want a suby look elsewhere, they'll kill you in dealer fees and such.

lol about as weird as old subarus to honda people, etc.

i now hate you. lol, i was pleased to see it for 40 because its always like 80 to 90 bucks, o well. for every deal you get there is always a better one.

NERV is from an anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion. from the 90's

looking now lol. yea my girlfriend picked me up Evangelion 1.0 for christmas (shes easy to crack) and im beyond excited. PLUS i just picked up the complete platnium series for 40 bucks:banana::banana: Eva FTW!

the steering was locked? why didn't you just knock out the tie rod ends and made life 200% easier on yourself? my suggestion. organization. wait for your bearing then swap. you are getting ahead of yourself, and well... your being dumb to be blunt.

omg where on earth did you find a NERV sticker? and awsome brat looks fairly clean sorry in my world Evangelion towers over all. lol

was there gas in the tank when it sat? my xt sat for 4 years before i got it and it ran horrible untill i dropped the tank and cleaned it. havent had a single issue yet.

clean it, it's free and makes you feel like you have a new car.

seeing how every car is a twelve volt system you might want to test your alternator as it should be pumping out 14 volts.
