My new Daily Driver
I'm not putting this in the build-off....as I'm not "planning" on modifying it almost at all.....we'll see how that goes.
Specs: 1989 Subaru XT6 4-speed Auto tranny AWD. 2.7l Flat-6 4-wheel disc brakes 20mm sway bars (factory) Air Suspension (automatically lowers the car at 55 mph) Trip computer Cruise Air Power windows/Locks also came with boxes of spare parts (best way to buy a car! a subaru person getting out of subarus....) 107k miles. $1000. I stole it now, what you've all been waiting for...pics. Took it for a drive along Skyline Parkway here in town, and got a ton of good pictures. it was hit in the rear quarter a few years ago, and the repair is starting to flake and rust. I'll have to get on this, probably in the spring. at one point, I pulled in behind an H6 outback, and saw the "H6-3.0" badge on the back. Which gave me an idea.....a few minutes in photoshop, and I think I'll be ordering some decals here very soon. |

gotta love those subarus man that air suspention is pretty sweet i didnt know the car lowers its self at 55. that little awd thing could be a peace of heavon with some 'little" things (such as a turbo or supercharger) and a nice set of wheels and a suspention hope you have hella fun with it!

not meaning any disrespect by this...
But why do you bring home so many "beaterish" cars. you obviously have money. Why not go for one nice car? Just curious... although i do want that car, i need the disc brakes off it! rest is good scrap metal i guess lol. |

That's pretty sweet. I think I saw a turbo version the other day while biking home. When I saw it, I was thinking "WTF? This is a Subaru?"

yes, I could sell them all and have a few thousand dollars to put towards one car to.....well.....one car could not do everything I love (autoX, RallyX, Ice Racing, Rock Crawling, and reliably go 3-400/week for work). "the next time you have a thought.......just let it go" no, the looks aren't for everyone. and if I were choosing the options from the dealer, I wouldn't have done it quite this way. but, that rack on the trunk lid is held in with about 35 screws. I'm not filling all those holes. so it stays. the exhaust is fairly new, but just plain steel from a muffler shop, so it's got some surface rust on the tips, I'll probably try to pull them up closer to the body, and possibly cut them short and put a pair of turndowns on them to hide them. of course, I might put a whole new exhaust on it to let the H6 roar out. no, it will not be getting any power mods. especially not forced induction. these older-gen subaru motors are really not terribly boost friendly (even the ones that were turbo from the factory) the interior is mint, that will not be touched. and I love these seats (I have the same ones in my loyale). oh yea, I forgot to mention.....it's a got a drag coefficient of .29. a C6 corvette has a .28.....yea, that's why it's so ugly. it really was styled in a wind tunnel, not a drawing board. Bugatti should have tried this with their Veyron, which in it's slipperiest mode has a .39!

whatever you have to tell yourself....
it just occurred to me why every other site I post this on, I get positive reactions....except this one. this car is probably older than most of you. no wonder you have no appreciation for crazy '80s styling. |

hey i love loyale sedans dont get my wrong. i know what you mean by loving crazy 80's styling, most my friends are like WTF? but that doesnt change its a beater car. not worth a ****, most are junked up broked down beaters... nothing worth braging about.
i was just wondering why you decide to bring sooo many home at a time... i love projects and all. but id dont want 5 cars with out decent paint jobs sitting in front of my house with out atleast one nicer pretty new car with shinny paint. edit* and im older than that car :P also, every post ive seen you make latley seems to be pretty negative. Specially on any thread i have ever opened. Maybe thats why you think you get so many negative reactions on here? Last edited by SPR; 12-03-2008 at 03:42 AM.. |

hey numbchux i actualy like this subie since it kinda looks like the 87 accord lol witch i want to get one lol but with like alot of work done to it my friend has one and her boyfirend put a new motor in it and did some body work to it and i think its a cute car lol
but no im stuck with my 91 accord with a crappy f22a1 thats only got like 140 stock blah i mean yeah i have a cold air intake and a full 2 3/4'' exhaust witch is supose to be good, but idk. im just happy my new motor and transmission is done and going to be droped in my car pretty soon ill be running a h22a with a jdm lsd transmission after its all droped in and dynoed. i was told i should be getting about 200 hp while im just running it on the doch since the guy whos putting it in doesnt know how to hook up the v-tech so ill have to wait on that but after that it should be pushing 260 270hp i think. and then with my intake headers and exhaust maybe 300hp so i cant wait i say good find on this light weight h6 your pretty lucky but i have a question you didnt mention if it was awd front wheel? |
