The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

hey guys, I have a MY10 XT Forry and was wondering if the "Media Hub" component fits my vehicle ? I have the full Sat Nav system (believe it is a Kenwood unit built for Subaru). I have the aux inputs int he centre console but a USB or ipod/iphone input would be much more useful

Thanks

Tom

Did it cause any issues with your lift in regards to shaft angles etc ?

Do you have any abs/traction control issues and can you turn that off when you are off the beaten track ?

Cheers

Thanks mate, now that is the sort of information I am after. Yeh there was a couple of dunes I conquered in my GX Wagon that other proper 4wd's had trouble with (but that is pretty common, soft roaders seem to be a bit better on sand but not so much in full offroad territory). Does your model have t...

Thanks mate, much appreciated!

Ok cheers. Was it the current 4gen model ? Hoping to hear from someone who has one in their garage and can give me some ownership feedback

Cheers mate, yeh I agree that the Subaru is far and away nice inside and a better quality car (better resale also). Just thought the new T31 Xtrail might be a bit better offroad. I figured if there were some basic options like a bit of extra ground clearance and an LSD then the Wagon would pretty mu...

Well my GX Wagon (1991) has a busted head gasket and is a pretty tired piece of equipment so I am looking at purchasing a new car at the moment. In my sights is something to tow my trailer and get my trailbike to and from riding areas and some mild 4wding. Looking at either an 4Gen Outback Wagon or ...

Is your XT manual or auto ? do they have a rear LSD as standard ? Also what real world fuel figures are you getting, roughly how many k's to tank

Cheers

yeh mate I had thought about an XT forrester as well. I have driven a 2.5i (my mum has one) and the car had a decent feel to it but yeh was a bit underpowered but the turb version would be decent. I quite like the look of the Forrys also. The new ones are a bit too expensive, my budget is probably $...

Am looking at upgrading to a newer car. Basically spend a bit of time offroad and towing a trailer with my traily on it. My thoughts are either a Gen3 or Gen4 outback. I am thinking the H6 as the 2.5 might be a bit underpowered ? Also like the idea that the factory towpack on the H6's comes with a t...

ok I will look into these tyres. Can I fit those Wild Conquerers to my wagon with the standard Air suspension ? (The tyre people I have spoken to so far think no).

Talking about tyres, with the standard suspension, what tyres should I go for if I go down that route ? I have heard super diggers are the go, will they fit ?

are they made by nankang ?

yeh that is an option. yeh I understand that I can't fit bigger tyres, that the reason I originally looked at doing the upgrade as I have a full set of Forester/Outback mags and decent new 15" tyres on them. but i am not sure if spending the $2k at the moment just so I can fit bigger tyres is worth ...

hey fish spoke to that same crew you were talking about they quoted me $1500.00 for the gear (apparantely will bolt straight in) Spoke to GSAD they are $1360 but would need the top bearing plate (this is all without fitting). Seems pretty expensive and they have suggested that I can't fit my 3 inch ...

Ok thanks guys will take this information do some research then speak to the bloke doing the work for me. Yep am a member of that forum already bro (own a Liberty RS as well as the wagon haha) I am not really a Suby addict *honest*, they just happen to produce numerous cars that I like haha. Will ho...

Thanks guys for the information I will do a bit more research as this situation is breaking my balls Just want to get my car back on the road. Fish did that price include the gear to bolt straight up or did you still need to get the hat tops etc like they were discussing previously ?

Thats kinda my problem mate, can't seem to locate any hats etc at any wreckers over here

I have had my car in getting the suspension converted from airbags to shocks and springs. It has been away sometime and now the guy tells me he is unable to locate any rear shock's. The air bags were just being replaced with second hand gear but according to the guy working on it there is none avail...

Thanks for all the info guys. Looks like I might have a bit of a consumption issue, will have to get it checked out once I get it back from having the suspension fitted and the fuel guage fixed.

Looks like that link has been erased again, I gather that is what you were talkn bout Clint ?
