The Subaru XT was a coupe produced from 1985 to 1991, sold in the US and general export markets as the XT, in Japan as the Alcyone and in Australia and New Zealand as the Vortex. The XT was available in either FWD or AWD and was originally powered by either an EA82 or a turbocharged EA82T H4 until 1988 when the turbo was dropped and a new 6 cylinder model was added powered by the ER27 H6. This model was sold in the US as the XT6, in Japan as the Alcyone VX and in Australia and New Zealand as the Vortex ZZ6. The XT is known for being likely the weirdest Subaru ever produced with a boat load of quirky features including pop up headlights, an asymmetric steering wheels, digital gauges. It designed primarily with aerodynamics in mind with every little thing being considered from the flush door handles to the plastic air flap in front on of the wheels to the depth of the trunk. This lead to a drag coefficient of 0.29, the lowest of any car in production at the time of its release.

The XT is my favourite car so I've always had plans to make it and have actually attempted to a few times before but I never really had the skills till now, perfect timing to make it after the RUSH too because all the coding for things like the digidash and adjustable ride hieght is already done to base it on. This mod will probably be my most in depth mod so far and I will try be as accurate to the real car as I can without having the real thing in front of me to use as reference (unless I buy one while making it 🙃). Nearly every production part available to XT irl will be included, factory and custom, along with my own ideas.

This mod will be free.

Yessss I look forward to this mod

#

if the design were changed a bit then i don't mind as much, as is the case with the rush

willow jackal
#

i like having fictional and real cars mixed, its like the world if i also got the chance to be a car manufacturer back in the day and thinking about competition and whatnot

tall swift
#

I like irl cars because they required the effort of 100s of people to make and design and the cars history has real life cultural significance

#

Lore cars have no significance, no actual history

#

like yeah fictional lore is cool

#

but things are cooler if they actually exist

#

like when I play any car game the cars I usually use are the ones I have had experiences with, and because I have sat in one or seen one irl they have a sort of sentimental-ness to them

willow jackal
#

its also fun to recreate peoples actual cars in game

#

hopefully i get to own one some day so i can do it to my own

#

and thats the other thing with real cars, you get to experience something you might not irl just because theyre expensive or rare

tall swift
#

yeah, I want to drive a RX7 or a Ford GT40, can't get one irl, next best thing, drive it in a simulator

#

the hell is a Wendover

delicate plover
# tall swift but things are cooler if they actually exist

true, one of the reasons why I prefer lore vehicles that somewhat resemble specific IRL models, as coming up with a truly original vehicle, and coming up with the history and all is not all that easy, it is also fun to parody certain IRL cars GTA style, as well as adding bodystyles/engines that never existed, but should probably have😛

delicate plover
#

Also saw this really nice Alcyone VX at a car show about a year ago, probably would have taken more pics had i known you planned to make one😛

#

model looks spot on so I guess you probably already have plenty of reference, sans for actually owning one😅

willow jackal
#

youre damn lucky thats a 30th anniversary edition which they only made 30 of apparently

Ooh

delicate plover
#

also pretty sure that is the same exact car, look at the plates😂

#

that or M Craft somehow has two identical ones

willow jackal
#

yeah defintiely the same car

delicate plover
#

nice, I also wanna give the imagemodeler thing a go at some point, saw that helpful tutorial on youtubeOn_Fire

willow jackal
#

its amazing when it works, it crashes often and the calibration fails half the time, though that could be a skill issue

how big is your reference folder?

#

i aint that organised lol

#

i aint got everything in one folder

#

i basically just put stuff into sub folders in my downloads ehen i need it lmao

#

so cant get an accurate measurement

spring hearth
# willow jackal

btw will this have accurate suspension geometry measurements? I can imagine that’s pretty much impossible to get without access to the car.

spring hearth
versed ingot
#

I'll contribute 45 percent

versed ingot
willow jackal
#

tho im not sure how accruate they are

#

i could buy a vortex if there were any for sale lol

#

last time there was one that was affordable it was on the opposite side of the country and last time there was one near me it was 15k

spring hearth
#

(sry for offtopic)

willow jackal
#

as a last resort i can ask if anybody in some xt \groups has any measurements

spring hearth
#

yea, epic that ur looking into it

versed ingot
#

I've seen one vortex in Melbourne. Didn't get a pic as I was doing rock climbing..

spring hearth
#

either way if everything else is accurate, handling shouldn’t suffer from suspension geo thats slightly off

delicate plover
#

speaking of suspension does the XT have a unique suspension setup? or did they share components with the likes of the leone, brumby ect..

#

if the latter is true then measurememts for the brumby ect.. may also be useful

spring hearth
#

good point

willow jackal
#

the brumby uses torsion bar suspension afaik and the xt has coilovers in the rear, the front should be the same

#

tbh i didnt actually think about that lol

#

if the leone is the same i might be able to find one of those

#

currently theres none of those for sale near me either but itd be a lot easier to find than a vortex

delicate plover
#

probably worth looking into yeah

versed ingot
#

Maybe I'll look into it. See if there's one for sale here

delicate plover
#

if I were to guess, with subaru being a relatively small manufactuer at the time, there is a good chance they shared a lot of suspension components like they did engines

willow jackal
#

Even if theyre not the same theyre definitely similar enough

#

Better than winging it

#

Is it true that it came with some kine of air suspension so you could lift the car, and if yes, are you planning to include it?

#

At least the german wiki says :"The chassis with MacPherson struts and wishbones at the front and a semi-trailing arm axle at the rear is air-sprung and height-adjustable."

I think it is for certain cars

delicate plover
#

it is kinda confusing since for a lot of Beam players, taking a real car and slapping some ibishu badges on it is enough to change it from real to lore😂

#

but hopefully you get the idea this is considered a 'real' car, despite whatever badging it may have and will be free, as opposed to the 'lore' cars like the RUSH and SigniaMrCoffee_Happy

Hey lj! This looks insane! If it’s not planned would I be able to make a lore friendly version when it comes out, it probably can’t go on repo but would I be allowed to release it on the forum?

Any updates for saga then?

#

But IRL Trofeos never had the 3.3 V6 or 4.4 V8 like the Wendover

Also they're obsolete af

And also never came in manuals unlike the Wendover

probably not

#

I don't get why everyone wants a lore friendly one

BECAUSE LORE

#

so

#

it's just a badge

#

lj has said multiple times he isn't making a lore friendly one

#

just take no for an answer

#

just respect his decision to not make a lore friendly one

hasty portal
#

Oh he isnt making one

#

I didnt know he said it

tame frigate
#

Sorta outdated but it's there if you want a lore friendly XT

#

And as a car and not as a mod, the Saga is better than the XT

So what happened

stiff pine
# raven torrent So what happened

He started another car, but this one isn't cancelled. I think the maker bought a real XT to make sure it's close as possible to the real thing

#

nvm he is thinking of buying one

willow jackal
#

Either that or a leone, but i havent found an affordable one for sale

lyric folio
#

Maybe pretend to buy and test-drive ....

#

... and end up buying anyway because it´s so good (like it happened with my RX-8)

real bone
#

That’s the cheapest one for sale in Germany

lyric folio
#

Thats pretty cheap, too cheap? I found one that has "3 new airsprings, imported from Germany, Australia and USA" - and one old "good as new" - now imagine that! € 10000,-

willow jackal
#

XTs are pretty expensive for a road worthy one here, there is one for sale but it's 20k

#

jealous of the US where its not hard to find one for a couple thousand

tame frigate
#

Where I'm from you can't get a semi interesting car for cheap

#

Unless you're willing to buy some old 70s Corolla

#

The only cheap western cars here are 80s-90s Volvos

I have always loved the old Subarus and there boxy styling. good job recreating the body so nicely!

raven torrent

#

Pretty sure the XT was the Alcyone in Japan

raven torrent
#

Nope, they are separate cars

#

You're most likely confusing the SVX and the XT

#

The SVX and the Alcyone are the same

willow jackal
#

The XT was sold as the Alcyone in japan, and so was the SVX

sharp ember
delicate plover
#

yeah, the SVX is basically just a second generation XT

#

same car, but for export markets, they changed the name for some reason

#

and yeah in the japanese market the car retained the Alcyone nameplate through its whole life

willow jackal
#

fun fact the only reason the XT was extended to 1991 was because the SVX wasnt ready yet

#

it was supposed to end production in 89, and thats also why theres almost no 1990 ones

sharp ember
tepid phoenix
willow jackal
#

wow its dropped to 14k

#

ive been thinking about doing a roadtrip down that way and going and having a look at that, maybe even a test drive

hazy hawk
#

i dont even live in NZ, converting the price to AUD makes it even cheaper, and makes me want to head there SO BAD

willow jackal
#

im jealous of the prices back in 2020

hazy hawk
#

i remember when you could get an SVX for under 10k AUD, let alone a Vortex

willow jackal
#

this one is or was for sale 24k, i cant find it but it was on marketplace the other day

willow jackal
#

SVXs are still cheap here when they do occasionally pop up for sale, 6k for one recently, 3k for another but that one needed a lot of work

hazy hawk
#

it's not even remotely low kms

bright zodiac
#

will the configs also have overinflated prices

hazy hawk
#

if you want to buy something even slightly rare in Australia, be prepared to almost bankrupt yourself

#

our used car market has gone to shit

willow jackal
hazy hawk
#

alternatively, i'd rather travel to the US to buy an SVX, they're cheap as and fairly common

willow jackal
#

id love to import a lhd SVX or XT here, i nearly bought one alongside a vortex but i was poor at the time, they ended up only selling for 1.3k

#

they were far away so i would've had to get them shipped, otherwise i couldve bought them

bright zodiac
#

i nearly thought about importing some old xr500s from america at one point. used car/bike markets suck so much in aus

bright zodiac
willow jackal
#

they sold just 2 months before the signia was released, if only it was just a little later

bright zodiac
#

was there a list of intended parts posted somewhere? i think you mentioned most production parts, some aftermarket and some custom but cant remember if an actual list popped up somewhere

bright zodiac
#

cheers, figured you had one

#

just remembered i took a few screenshots from a MotorWeek Retro stream a few months ago, these photos speak for themselves

i guess id be more surprised if you didnt😅

Thisd have to be my favourite i own, ive only ever seen a couple vortex brochures on the internet

#

Theres a few jdm ones i dont have, full lineup ones and accessories ones, and a lot of usdm ones i dont have, i just have a small full lineup one. Id have them if money rained from the sky tragedy

Some sort of bad news about this mod, im gonna hold off on it until i buy a real xt

  1. My wagon engine is an EA71 which doesnt have the same suspension as EA82 cars so i cant really use it for scanning
  2. Im gonna but an xt soon anyway since its my dream car and im moving to a place with more space for more cars, my driveways full lol, so why not wait till then
  3. Itll mean everything will be almost identical to the real car which i would love including sounds
#

hopefully 3 or 4 months

#

doesn't mean i wont be making a free real car though, i have something lined up to do in the mean time once the dynamos done

a smaller scoped real car, somewhere between this and the silvia in terms of planned parts and configs

someone is trying to sell a base model auto for £25,000 here which is crazy

I wonder if the funky automatic part time 4wd would be difficult to make work in beam

willow jackal
#

itll be a challenge for sure

#

little confused about the button on the auto shifter, since the system is automatic from what i know

vital mortar
gleaming lake
#

The button on the shifter keeps it in 4wd until the button is deactivated

#

The button on the center console is the 'automatic one'

#

I have the Japanese manual so I'll translate the auto button for you

thanks

my wagon's pretty slow but its just a carbed ea71

its not super quick as mines the 'early' jap market model with 120hp instead of the later 134 ish hp

lowk looks like a hirochi rush crossed with the ibishu altair/ibishu saga

gleaming lake
eager shard
gleaming lake
#

its related to the subaru brat which is what the Rush is kind of inspired by imo

#

and its also similar to the saga/altair as its prelude ish

eager shard
#

and now i want one

gleaming lake
#

do like preludes, first gen with popups are good looking

willow jackal
#

there's some xt in the saga, the steering wheel and the engines, but not outside

#

at least not intentionally

#

that was a what if i mixed a prelude with a legend

preludes have been one of my fav cars forever

yeah, probably got something hiding away which says how much it was brand new

there's little info on the jap market ones since they sold so little

willow jackal

yeah the us got em all

gleaming lake
#

yeah its so annoying, all of the parts are there 😭

willow jackal
#

rockauto's sometimes good for that

#

idk about the xt but i've gotten a lot for my wagon from there

gleaming lake
#

yeah ive had a look and they have most of the things

#

odd stuff like window regulators + wholemechanisms they dont have

#

had to import them :(

#

also need my drivers seat refoaming as its collapsed on the left

willow jackal
#

aha yeah i'll need that too

#

it's not great when the seat frame is digging into you

gleaming lake
#

yeah i dont want to damage the cloth/fabric with the frame

#

think i saw a leone wagon similar to yours pop up on a uk facebook group

willow jackal
#

i wonder how many there are over there

gleaming lake
#

according to howmanyleft.com which is semi reliable there are maybe 6 leone's

willow jackal
#

damn tragedy

gleaming lake
#

yeah there's 3 XTs.......

although i know of at least 3 others but think they are off the road

willow jackal

there's 20-30 xts here but that includes registered but off the road

thats a healthy amount at least, is that AUS and NZ ?

willow jackal
#

just nz

gleaming lake

vortex is also just an incredible name

willow jackal

aus has more im pretty sure

can you get bits from aus easily?

willow jackal

im not sure but probably easier than here

and are they expensive when they come up for sale? wondering as a base GL someone is selling here for 19k

gleaming lake
willow jackal
#

theres an xt6 here for 23k, down from 27k lol

gleaming lake
#

went down from 25k to 19k lmao

willow jackal
#

but it is a 6, which is really rare here

gleaming lake
willow jackal
#

its been for sale for almost a year, maybe longer actually

gleaming lake
#

not surprised

willow jackal
#

there was another recently for 13k which is a great price, though it was a standard n/a early model

#

and then there was the guy trying to sell one for almost 50k a couple years ago lmao

gleaming lake
#

anything less than 15k gbp so 32k nzd ish is a good deal imo

#

havent seen a non turbo or XT6 in the UK

#

dont know if they exist here or were ever sold

willow jackal
#

probably not

#

they barely sold 6s here because nz didnt have the right fuel

gleaming lake
#

would agree

#

i'll see what brochures i have later as i think i have japan and some international ones as well as a few svx bits

#

definitlely didnt think id get to see a car i own in beamng one day lol

willow jackal
#

i cant wait lol

#

the rare and concept versions will be cool to make and play with

#

theres almost no info or other photos of those fashion ones

#

the convertible one ended up in a field or yard is poor condition, no idea about the black one but someone did make a scale model of it

gleaming lake
#

ive seen the convertible before

#

never the fashion one

nice pic of a 30th anniversary

One similar to the rally XT's would be good

The 1985 Subaru XT 4WD Turbo was what happened when Subaru tried not to be weird.

Honda had the Prelude, Toyota had the Celica, and Subaru had a problem — at the end of the malaise era, sports coupes were getting fun and fast. And Subaru didn't have a car to compete with them.

The company's EA-series flat-four gradually got a turbocharger and ...
