The BEST Subaru....You've never heard of! | Subaru XT6 | Frankenwedge

[@Huckster369]

Good Video, I'm the guy that originally Built FrankenWedge, back in 2005-2006, Happy to see it's still out there and making some noise! Long Live FrankenWedge!!!

[@car-nivores]

Hell yeah man! Thanks for stopping by the channel you legend!

[@icytwitchy123]

Where did you get your parts from

[@Huckster369]

@@icytwitchy123 What Parts? The EG33 came out of a Subaru SVX, and used a EJ 5-Speed, and ran a SVX ECU to run the engine, but maintained the XT6 ECU to run the Cybrid Power Steering

How did you replace the air struts?!

[@hush6149]

“It could look better” The wedge has a two-tone roof, streamlined handles, aerodynamic stylings based on a plane, pop-ups and a solid taillight strip… it’s basically an NSX Subaru, could it really be better?

[@screp36]

I had one, for a year! Doug Demuro would jack oof on alllll the kwirks

[@car-nivores]

We need to find away to get him one!!

[@trianglerad]

Thanks for the plug and for sharing the Frankenwedge! It was definitely the hit of that meet. Can't wait to see it again.

[@car-nivores]

Not a problem brother

[@jordannegus7768]

love the vids keep the xt alive on yt!

[@djdramatical]

Cool. I convinced my girlfriend back in 1995 to buy one of these used. We're I live we had a terrible blizzard in 96 whole city was shut down. Meanwhile I was out driving around helping people. Cool car. Subaru called me few years after asking to buy it but already got rid of it.

[@BUILTOFFICIAL]

this thing is insane dude!

[@car-nivores]

I definitely wish I could have drove it harder but I didn't want to hurt it. ITS SO DAMN COOL

[@cymatic83]

I've been waiting for an update on this car!! So f*cking rad, I'm so happy to see you guys still have it. I can't wait to see what you do next (please no stupid camber). Awesome car. I want one so bad.

He is trying to get it to California now.

[@PaulXMann]

Not only have I heard of it, I've owned 3 of them... one XT Turbo, and two XT6s. They're not fast, but back in the day, that wedge shape sure looked like the future!

[@JuTtLlA]

Great Video bro yea my Dad had one back. On 92 so loved that car 🚗 wish I could find one hell yeah good job guys...

[@1019Communications]

I have an 89 XT w 92k....runs like a top..everything works...fun car

[@car-nivores]

Nice! This one is a 89 too btw. I was wrong in the vid

Lucky. 2022 $5 to 6k rn and climbing.

[@simonturner3515]

Known as a vortex in Australia, SVX motor make's it a Japanese muscle car.

[@DeanoKelley]

Always loved the XT. Remember test driving both the Turbo XT and the XT6 one day. Both 5-Speeds and just couldn't pull the trigger on either. I toyed w/ the idea of picking up an SVX, but with small kids at the time, I was Minivan and SUV bound. Nice video. Thanks for sharing the history.

[@Javelier]

Any update on this car? I was looking up the specs on that engine... Built for a car 1000lbs heavier, producing about 2x the HP of the original XT engine; must be much faster than on your "careful" drive. Have you done much more with it? Have you tested a 0-60 time (at least unofficially)? I'd had a 1985 front-wheel drive piece of junk XT, but still loved it completely. So happy to see someone putting that kind of interest into an XT!

[@car-nivores]

You have to follow my brother on his social media. He works for donut now. Tiktok justinfreemaan

[@geddon436]

I used to have a blue XT, automatic, but with DIGITAL instruments. It had a car symbol in the middle with bars to the left and right, that would come towards you as you acclerate.

[@car-nivores]

If he comes across a digital dash, he plans on getting it

[@gojogingo]

Fantastic! Nice exhaust note!

My sister had a baby blue 86' that she gave me back in the late 90s , damn I should have kept it smh

[@9ALiTY]

Really a precursor to the SVX I just consider it the original version

[@badmelon18]

Wait is this the donut guy? He looks familiar..

[@car-nivores]

Twin brother

[@impidimp9331]

They should have focused with XT6 than SVX because i am seeing the Supra MK3 and FC RX7 and look what those cars successor happened to be

[@elijahjames5308]

That’s a sick car James! That supercharger is definitely going to make it move a lot faster.

[@car-nivores]

Just tint the inside of that sunroof and it will get rid of that crusty look. The pain looks rather good for what it is and how old it is. Roof need some paint too but it looks good. Also aint nothing luxury sports car about a c5 vetta, that interior lol

[@car-nivores]

The roof needs tons of work. I asked about the vette because she said luxury and she said she liked the vette in the past and its nowhere near luxury

[@mikalmos369]

😲

[@grizzlyaddams3606]

Why? More power but ruin the weight to power ratio. Also ruin the weight ratio front to back. The 4 Turbo is a dream to drive anyways and who drives these on straigjt roads anyways? Literally cannot see why anyone would do this unless their 4 was toast and a 6 was the only thing they could find to swap.

[@car-nivores]

It is a xt6. Meaning it had a flat six in it stock. It drives as intended
