1988 Subaru Xt6 4 Wheel Drive on 2040-cars
Lancaster, California, United States
|
I purchased this car about 15 years ago. I found it in a wrecking yard, hence the salvage title. It wasn't wrecked. It was there because of an engine noise. There were 2 models. 4 cylinder and 6. My car has the 2.7 liter 6 cylinder H motor. The owner was told it would cost more money than it was worth to repair. It had 75,000 mile on it. I bought it and replaced the timing belts. The noise was just lifter noise due to low oil. The factory repair manual states that if the engine is low on oil, the lifters will chatter. I drove it for a few years and sold it to my sister-in-law. She drove it for a few years and sold it to her son. He drove it for a few years and bought a new truck. It sat for a few years and I acquired it back. I painted it due to the paint fading. There never has been any rust. I live in the high desert of southern California. I replaced the A.C. compressor, alternator, clutch cable, plugs and wires, air and fuel filters, and headlight motor (has flip up headlights). Car now has only 108,000 miles. Car runs and drives great. Everything works except I disconnected the automatic shoulder belt motor because the motor was getting weak. Now you must physically buckle the shoulder belt. The inside pieces that cover the side mirrors are missing. The passenger seat has a small cigarette burn and a few stains. There are no rips or tears. The tires still have at least half of their tread life left. Cruise control, power windows and door locks, A.C., aftermarket stereo with Bluetooth and usb connectivity. Pre-wired for Powered subwoofer and amp. Car originally came with air suspension. Front air struts had leaks and air compressor was robbed, so I replaced the front struts with spring struts. Rear air struts are still on car and fillable in trunk.
This car was ahead of its time when built. This is the precursor to the WRX. It was replaced by the SVT. Please research this car on the Web. Car is 4 wheel drive with an air locker differential from the factory. Car is very quick and the interior is styled after the cockpit of a fighter jet. The 5 speed has a pistol grip shifter and the steering wheel and gauge pod move together as one when adjusted. Car is very unique. Car is not perfect, but in very good condition. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Ron 661-618-9616 |

Subaru WRX STI vs. Audi S3 in compact AWD dustup
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's not every day that a Subaru and an Audi can be reasonably compared head-to-head; the two brands tend not to compete directly in their respective segments. However, the latest WRX STI and the S3 Sedan offer the perfect chance to find out if the working-class Scooby can beat its upper-crust competitor.
The UK's Auto Express gets behind the wheel of these two all-wheel drive performance sedans, or saloons as the Brits call them. Across the pond, both of them are rated at an identical 296 horsepower, but the Subaru edges out the Four Rings on torque. Like in the US, British buyers have to pay a little more to get the Audi, but it comes with a nicer interior and more brand cachet, if that means anything to you.
The video starts out with a fairly standard road test comparing the two of them back-to-back - all fairly subjective. But then Auto Express takes the trip to the drag strip, and the results there are much more conclusive. There's a definite winner when they cross the line, but you have to scroll down to see which of these turbocharged models with rallying heritage wins out.
Subaru mulls motorsports return, nixes small CUV plans
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The Subaru WRX STI breaking the automotive lap record at the Isle of Man might be just the beginning of the headlines trumpeting a Subaru racecar. According to the latest rumors, the Japanese brand is looking at taking motorsports more seriously in the future. That could possibly even mean endurance racing at Le Mans.
According to Auto Express, the brand is mulling a greater participation in motorsport, but the big question is where. The World Rally Championship isn't a certainty because it now favors smaller cars like the Volkswagen Polo. Subaru still competes in series like Rally America and Global Rallycross, but there are bigger stages to play on.
What's interesting, is that this commitment to motorsports comes right as the automaker is denying plans to build a small CUV for its passenger car lineup. According to Auto Express, the company has no intention of developing a crossover smaller than the current XV Crosstrek. Even if the sales are there, it would just cost too much to develop. In the US, at least, the XV is doing great with sales up 42 percent in July.
2015 Subaru WRX gets down and dirty
Fri, 13 Dec 2013Looks rarely tell the whole story. We'll admit to being a bit let down by the Subaru WRX and its rather conservative appearance - where were the gold wheels and the spoilers? Hatchback? World Rally Blue? But after seeing it in this video and hearing that signature, throaty growl while this red example drifts and slides around dirt roads, we're starting to get more excited.
While the growl is the main reason for watching the clip below (you should do that now), Subaru has also thrown in some information about the improved suspension, and increased power. Learn along with us, below.
