Crazyeights Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnatchedHatch Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 The XT6 is a tank in snow with these Winterforce tires. i ran it a few winters, now off the road for this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiGL Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Sweet ride! If the radiator does need replacing, don't the BRZ ones fit almost exactly? Or is the XT6 radiator a different shape? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, i am trying to set it up like a muscle car would be awesome if the BRZ radiator is an exact fit, i need a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
