do you have automatic seatbelts?
No, just the normal ones with the height adjustment.

I'd probably choke myself with automatic ones

Nope, previous owner. The sticker is between the window and the tint :(

My "new to me" Turbo wagon

Well, I finally got it. I've been driving it for a week and I just installed the new rims I bought from tiretrends.com . I now see why you guys like these cars so much.

If this group buy does actually start-up, I'm in.

If we still need German part #'s I can e-mail a couple people in Germany. It could take a bit to get a response but it can be done.

Where to buy in TO

that's what I thought ..thanks Ciper.

Considering I've only been back in Ontario for only 2 months (11 years in BC) I don't know where to get the best deal on these items.

So far I can only find Gabriel and Monroe .

Thanks for any help

Shall we move to the brakes section ;)

No I don't have a huge overpowering desire for WRX brakes. If the orignal setup is OK, I'll probalby just leave the orignal Turbo Brakes and maybe get some cryo rotors ( are those for real? not an automotive voodoo myth?) The rears are really ugly, I'd say over half of the rotor face has swelled up ...

How difficult is it to install roof rails ( rack..whatever) on a '93 Turbo wagon? I don't see any provisions for them on mine.

And if anyone has a set in good shape they what to clear out of the garage

Let me know.
