Since Subarus Are Like Legos, it is fairly easy to add a manual trans. But then you'd have a manual trans 2 ton yacht that couldn't go, turn, or brake, it would just have three pedals. NOW that I've said that... ![[Image: Subaru-XT6.jpg]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/da/Subaru-XT6.jpg) BEHOLD. The Subaru XT. Available in both turbo and 2.7H6 flavors, it did have a manual trans with the 6 pot, and it's shaped like a doorstop. Do it. Easily available for your budget.

the XT is actually a pretty sweet car that should be doing RallyXes, not getting pounded into sawdust.
same goes for the subaru RX

I really like the idea of the subaru XT plus every single other person on the team drives an STi currently so somehow I think they would be way up on the idea of an XT.
Anybody know where the **** to find one though?

DJ. I have a 1981 Chrysler Imperial Coupe I can get you for FREE. It has a 5.2L v8 and it is RWD. Just needs the EFI taken off and a 4bbl slapped on.

Jeff you are awesome, my only concern is the automatic. I assume its auto correct? I wonder if we could somehow through a cheap ass manual trans on it? (we dont care how it looks so it wouldnt be an issue) I just assume an automatic wouldnt last 20 minutes in a race.
That car would be perfect. 4 barrel carb so engine is easy, definitely looks like a batmobile and rwd for some fun. Anybody know how to work carbs well? lol I certainly dont, I bartely know enough to get me going such as jetting and idle screws. Any other fancy tricks? Im sure I could figure it out if I just tore a carb apart.

DO IT DJ. BTW, Jeff, if DJ doesn't want it I do.
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

I'll call Phil. He has NO TITLE for this car. I was thinking about it for BA/BE but can't because of that. It is a 904 auto probably. Just toss a 727 in it and it should make it just fine. The 904 is the non HD version of the 727. You could do a manual from a truck or an older car if you wanted. It has a EFI that is fucked up and does not run. But a carb swap is easy money.

DOOO EEET. And have a bad 70's disco/cop movie theme. Like, before any driver is allowed in the car, they have to do a Starsky roll over the hood.
That, or you all could be coke dealers.
