Hello

Hey, I'm new here, from Telford, PA. I was out at the Oaks meet this past Tuesday with my 88 Subaru XT6. Been browsing the forum for a little bit, and decided to join.

I don't have too much done to the car, but it is fairly unique amongst XT6's. It started life as a FWD automatic, but the guy I bought it from swapped it to a stick, making it only the second FWD stick 6 cylinder in existence. I picked up a crate engine a while back with only 30k miles on it pretty cheap, and dropped that in, adding a cone filter at the same time. I've got a spoiler from an 80's Firebird on it, and I painted the car to mimic the Subaru SVX's, black over white. The sealed beam headlights sucked, so I grabbed a H4 conversion online for those.

I've got KYB GR-2 rear struts, and plan on getting fronts, as well as a coilover kit for them. Eventually I'll get a set of 15" or 16" rims for it, probably go with a set of newer Subaru ones.

Yeah, I've noticed a few members are in the Telford / Souderton area on here. I'll be sure to upload some pics to photobucket and post them when I get a chance.

Got a few pics up, and just realized the car isn't too clean in these pics. I'll have to get a few pics of the interior too.

Somehow I knew this question would come up.

The XT6 was Subaru's flagship in the late 80's, the predecessor to the SVX. The body is low drag, one of the lowest drag coefficients in the 80's It had the first production water cooled flat 6 - 2.7L, though it only puts out 145hp, and 156 ft/lb. It does get up and move pretty good though, granted its no WRX, but 3 digit speeds come soon enough if I don't watch it.

Its the only XT6 I've seen in the area, ever. I've seen a couple 4cyl XT's. I was sitting on main street in Sellersville a couple months back and saw a white one drive right past. Never saw it again.

I'll get a shot of the interior tomorrow, its pretty neat. That combined with the look of the car itself makes it one of those cars where you either love it or hate it. No in between really

Another thing I have planned for the distant future is a bi-xenon projector retrofit, and possibly completely custom LED taillights.
