  1. canajun2eh, we should get together some time and go for an xt6 cruise... the only two I've ever ridden in/driven, are mine... nobody around here likes soob's. your approx. 88 miles away,and that's the closest I've found anyone! (sorry for the hijack )
  2. I put a toggle switch on my xt6's PS pump once because it wouldn't ever shut off, even when the car was off and the key was out. I ran the switch with huge 10g wire just to be safe, and the pump really doesn't like being turned on/off... turns out my ghetto switch (switch from an old computer power supply (read:AT)) actually saved my car from turning into a giant marshmallow roaster in the driveway. the pump shorted itself out so bad that it burned up the switch and the 10g wire (with the switch off....) which kinda acted like a fuse and wouldn't let any current go anywhere else, so it broke the short... not sure what the point of all this is, or if this will happen to you, just figured it'd be good information to have
  3. you have to keep in mind the computer controller for the pump, and the speed sensors that interact with the computer and change the amount of power assist your getting....
  4. I've heard that you can buff the yellow out of those headlight covers, probably could do it on the car if you can't take them off
  5. WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WWWWAAAIIITTT! you have a window in your cubicle? I feel robbed... my cubicle (don't even have assigned cubicles.... whichever one is open) has three walls, a computer, a corkboard, and a desk......
  6. if you live where there is snow, and a large hill, you could use the chopped off roof as a very large and heavy sled. but I hear that this is quite dangerous from people that have tried it with car hoods, as there is no way to stop, and you build up tremendous momentum going down hill on a large smooth piece of heavy metal plus your body weight
  7. anyone have a pic of a third eye? I've heard a lot of fuss about them but never seen one!
  8. HOLY CRAP! free carfax.. I'll be sending you a PM soon also
  9. I've never driven an RX, but I drive an xt6 everyday... so I'll just agree with archemitis on this one
  10. hey man... I don't like auto's either, but my xt6 came with one stock, and that's a "2 door sport coupe" or whatchamacallit.....
  11. well I left 2 hours later than planned, but made it to paul's around 5pm.... noobdy was there so my brother and I chilled out for a bit, and I snapped some pictures and we left... we were looking on the bright side at that point, though... it was a wonderful trip!
  12. any specific instructions on how to get to your place paul? exit #'s etc? ***edit! found the info in old gen forum, nevermind
  13. I'm with subiemech85. the driver's side visor on my '88 xt6 always was falling down, no matter, what. I replaced it with the driver's side visor from my '89 xt6 parts car with less miles, and it functions perfectly, just like it rolled off the assembly line (the visor, anyway :/)
  14. well, I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that it doesn't rain, then.... I'd hate to drive all the way from the tippy-top of NY to get turned away
  15. I'll help you put that exhaust on if nobody else will, if I can make it there, bucky... just don't let my girlfriend find out I was working on a female's car while I was out of town!
  16. my xt6 horn is so weak that people don't even notice when I beep it... even if I lay on it forever
  17. I haven't convinced anyone to cover my shift at work yet, but I'll see what I can do in the coming week. I'll let you know either way, but I plan on coming.. hopefully <hypnotic music> other people will decide that they are coming too </hypnotic music> because, alas, I've never met anyone from the board, or even with a passionate subaru interest
  18. sounds like some kind of alternative fuel source that I'm sure we'd all like to hear LOTS MORE ABOUT PLEASE, kthx
  19. so who all is going? I've got it on my plans.. gonna see if my buddy will let me borrow his radar detector... also not sure if I should drive the xt6 or not... (no speedo!!) but I'd hate to drive to a subaru gathering in anything else
  20. mapquest says: Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 35 minutesTotal Est. Distance: 356.51 miles ... I'll see what I can do!
  21. don't know if you're interested in new faces showing up or not, but if you throw out a date I might be able to make it
  22. sorry to hijack, but either of you AK fellows been to "slim's lodge" ? don't exactly remember where it is, but it is (was?) run by either a distant relative of mine, or one of my grandfather's friends... got some cool pics of the place somewhere
  23. you want huge tires on your car, man?.... you should get a lift.. 4" lift would let you put some monster rubber on there.... wish I could get a lift kit for my xt6 I'd be off-roading that thing in a second (if it weren't F$CKIN 2wd!)
  24. I've got an XT6 that the volt gauge drops on when the turn signal is on. I'd also like to know how to fix this if anyone knows
