Turbone

Did a search and it looks like no one has done it yet. Saw a nice set at the PAP today and I think I'm going to go for it. I've done a XT seat swap into a EA81 before and it wasnt that bad. Any thoughts?

If thats a Subaru, I would like to see some pics. If not, your on the wrong message board.

Granted, all the photo shopping and stuff looks cool and its a nice idea. BUT, in my neck of the woods, if your running without doors, you run the risk of getting some serious face smacking from tree/brush branches. I prefer keeping whats left of my feeble eyesight by keeping doors on my rig, along with windows. I know, I take the fun out of everything:rolleyes:

If you dont plan on hauling alot of stuff around in the back, or you like the rear seat down, get a couple of 10in Subs in as small a box as possible. Definatly make sure it fits between the wheel wells. You wont regret it:headbang:

I have Leg struts up front and XT 2wd shocks on the rear. I also flipped the top mounts over on the rears to lower it even more. My other XT6 has Leg fronts with the XT6 top mounts and EA82 4wd rear shocks.

CRAP! I need to get busy on those hats:rolleyes:

I have 10" in the front and 11" in the rear, with 30" tires. I think I have 8" lift all the way around, never measured it. I also have a dropped rear diff hanger and a seperated front diff (divorced T-Case). That means my axles are pretty much level when sitting on flat ground.

Pics might work better for those of us that dont have access to parts books.

Well, finally took some pics of the T-Wagon and XT6 cupholders. Dont have anything good for the Hatch yet.

Sorry to hear about your Mom, Pat. And I thought I was having car troubles:-\ I would look at the TCU. I dont know where its located on your car, I only know where its at on a XT6:rolleyes: When trannies start going thru gov's that qiuck, its time for a new one. The gear in the diff that drives it can be replaced but you need to pull the tranny and seperate the front diff from it. Be easier to just replace the tranny.

We've had version 1 and 3 already. I vote for #4.

Sometimes the late model EA81's and EA82's get mixed up. To ID your engine, look at the front left. There is a stamping that will say one of the 2 I mentioned. This way you will know which parts to get for your car. There is a 85 and up EA82 2dr with a Hatch that we call a 3dr Coupe. The EA81 2dr Hatch is just that, a Hatchback. Caleb is pulling your leg, btw, hard too. There is a verylarge group of Subaru enthusiast in this area, I live in Bonney Lk with a few others real close by. This is what my EA81 Hatchback looks like.......... Just a little modified:D Aarons in White Center has parts, Lynwood PAP and Tacoma have parts also.

I havent seen any stock like that. My 86 GL-10 has a digidash and the area in front of the shifter is a cubby hole (full of junk). I would assume any guages would be aftermarket.

There should be a c-clip on one end of the rod. It might be easier for you to pull the whole assembly out (once the steering column is removed).

I have the same setup, if I remember I'll take a pic tomorrow. The interior is embarrassingly dirty tho:rolleyes:

Dang it! I have to many cars and not enough drivers!:-p

Ah, I need those. Thanks Ed, hopefully they will still be there on Sat.

I think you went from the frying pan and into the fire with that choice:rolleyes:

I assume its a 5spd also? You should be good to go, if so. I've long wanted to do this, with the addition of a 3/2 PK lift:brow: It still might happens someday.

More like 300mi:rolleyes:

Maybe thats how he got his screen name Ed:eek:

I have a small adjustable one I bought from Shmucks. Have it mounted on top of the coin tray, perfect fit and doesnt get in the way of anything. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow. Also have one that has the flexable strap, mounted thru the A/C vent. You have to pull the vent trim out and slip it in the opening. This one isnt that great, it hangs over the radio knobs and if you push the cup, it turns the radio off. But it leaves your hands free!

From the sounds of it, you might be looking at one:-\ Wheel bearings usually rumble/grind. Axles do the click/pop/rumble Trannies do the whine/grind and general gear problems.

One of the most unique cars Subaru made...........the XT. Specifically the XT6. The first 6 cylinder engine, with some many choices for a drivetrain/suspension. The first 5 lug hubs:banana: Headlight washers! (US market) And one item alot of XT owners dont even know they have, speed sensing wipers:headbang:
