[limpboy57]

I'm thinking about getting one of these, but i would like to have more info on the car, and its potential for high perfrormance can anyone help?

What turned you on to this car? The main reason ppl get Subarus, are 1: Traction, 2: Dependabilty, 3: Good price. Usually only the new WRX is what tuners go after, although the Impreza RS is also good. Or you can be like me and go with a 1992 Wagon. Get the Turob Model and you got one Hot Wagon!!!

Man, that car just screams performance. Course, I drive a freakin Beetle. Sooo...more power to ya!

I had a girlfriend that had one when they were new back in '89 and it wasn't too bad a car and was great in the snow but I don't think the performance potential is too high.

There are some reasons why some dont fix certain cars up...but if you can fix that car up, you deserve props, I think parts are gonna be a PITA to find.

HAHA na, he can do it and ill help him! us subei ppl help each-other out... besides, look at me, im fixen up something no one (In their right mind) has ever done before! If i can hook up a 92 wagon, then you can hook that XT6, but i dont recomend you do it unless its free or almost free. What are they asking for it?

Oh, and about finding parts, Home Depo has all the parts youll need...:D

I think i will be able to get one for about $300-$400. Its going to be a project car for shure though.

[WagN2NR]

is this it?

2.7 L, 6 cylinder Aluminum alloy boxer engine. Multiport Fuel injection, electronic ignition,
Horsepower: 145 @ 5200 rpm
Torque: 156@4000 rpm
Compression: 9.5:1

[limpboy57]

Yeah thats it! I think it has alot of potential.

[WagN2NR]

ya, that car will be the 1st of its kind to kick ass...What mods are you planing on doing 1st?

[limpboy57]

i was thinking an exhaust 1st , what do you guys think i should do to it first?

[WagN2NR]

what ever you can afford... you may want to swap moters to a turbo version, or if you got the cash, slap on a turbo. I have to have a good sounding car...I use A K&N high flow air filter, and a glasspack muf. I felt one of the funneyist things in the world, would be to put a wing on a wagon, so that was something I did eraly... just for a million laughts....I still chuckel each time I look at my subi...
Oh, the 1st thing you should do, is remove this air box thingy....ill do it for you or ill just tell you what to do over the phone or something, cuz i cant really discribe it here.

I had to read that 3 time b4 i understood it, then i almost fell out of my chair...

LMFAO (It must be long into the night)

[V8SpankR]

Yeah,that's a good description of the XT6. :D

Talk to dave at www.proecm.com He is running a custom turbo setup with 10+ psi on his XT6. Plus he lives in the springs.

I have a friend with a 91' Turbo Legacy

its a fun car, it will handle EXTREMELY well. stock, the car will pull on a civic SI with I/H/E. top end is so-so, itll hit 120, but not really much higher. the car has no current company making any serious after market mods for the car, but of course, anything can be custom made. i suggest a turbo set up, although, it MAY be a bit expensive to fit an entire turbo set up inside the engine bay (i dont remember how big it is, off hand). since its a suby, the engine is practically unbreakable, but the tranny went out on me twice, within a months time. but thats rather expected from a subaru.

good luck on it, i know there are modded ones out there, it just takes a bit of time and money. both of which i dont have :)
