Hi, New here
I was turned on to this site by svxfiles, I was at his shop with questions about my latest subi, an 85 XT turbo 5 sp. I have 7 subi's at this time, 2 outback wagons, a 95 legacy, a 91 leg wagon a 90 leg sedan and an 85 wagon. I traded a honda goldwing for the XT. I have been autocrossing the 90 legacy this year but the automatic trans was taking the fun out of it. The XT will be making its first run on july 31. I had it to a car show over the 4th weekend and had a chance to play with it. I was happy! I don't have a svx yet, but one will show up. I'm sure. They always do!

Welcome to the site! If you keep your eyes open I'm sure you will see more than a few good deals on SVX's.
I still want to get an XT6 because, just like the 1993 SVX, they weren't sold in Canada.

Welcome to the site. If you're into AutoX, you should go to the Upcoming Meet section, and sign up in the Subaru Challenge Meet being held in Baltimore, MD on 9/17. Cost is $30 and it'll be a hoot!
I'm a good friend of Svxfiles. Glad you've met him as well. -Chike

Welcome to the site and congrats on the trade. The early XT isn't the most competative H Stock car out there even less so without TONS of work in the street classes. It is killed by the wheels and the added weight of part time 4wd, air suspension if it has it and if it was converted you're already in a mod class. You'll actually do better autoxing the Legacy. I passed my suggestion on to SVXfiles in a PM but here's my suggestion for it. Besides it would be much more fun than autoxing her, just a little harder on the suspension.
1. Buy these! http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=0 2. Make yourself a skid plate for under the oil pan 3. GO KILL WRXs on a Rallyx . Oh yeah, check out www.xt6.net as well. VERY good XT site! The good thing about the XT is the parts are pretty plentiful with all the EA-82s out there and tons of cross over parts. Just make sure you clean the front fenders by the door if they haven't rotted their own drain yet. I'll see ya on the 31st as we'll be coming down with our SVX.

new here some more
I only discovered subi's 4 years ago!I still have the 61 ford convertable I bought in my senior year of high school, Bet i can get my $100. back! It has 300,000 on it now and in 2 years I will drive it to my 35 class reunion! WE also have a 65 formula S baracuda, a 47 Dodge street rod p/u w/440ci, a 65 Dodge A 100 van w/413 ci and a 91 Dodge ext cab p/u w 48k, and a partridge in a pear tree! If anyone is interested, I also have an un-restored 57 chevy Viking shorty school bus that WAS at Woodstock in '69' $750. takes it! Even has the paisley curtains and green shag carpet!w/ rainbow painted on ceiling! I was going to'do it up' till I got THE schoolbus that my youngest daughter cried on the steps the first day of kiddie-garden and rode till she was out of grade school. The side dinette is made around the seat she sat on for 6 years. Senti-mental old fool! I GOTTA try the XT on the thirty onceted, If only for morbid curiosity! Air still there, but pump don't work no mo, gotta use a compressor to 'get it up'. You guys are great!

hi new here
Got a ride in the worlds first SUPERCHARGED SVX. I think we can do each other some good. ( car related), It's been a long time since I felt real power from a launch. It was really easy to find the place, just look for the place where a ship loaded with fuji stuff ran aground and dumped the load so it would float again!
