I need a old skool

Hey does any one know where i can get an old rx turbo coupe or sedan.

 

you mean rs or rx?

 

subaru rx, I told him nobody on here would know wtf he is talking about.

google it

 

oh god its like the first impreza before the legacy ss

 

they pop up on ebay, under 'other' sometimes.

 

they are sweet and all, but not without a 22t in there kickin. ea motors dont like power as much.

 

that would wind up in there

 

I would check out the ultimate subaru message board. (google it) chances are you can find one for sale over there.

 

wrong


I've seen ONE in person, INCLUDING the USMB meets I've been to. it was in someones garage off 169 near mille lacs. I damn near started a pile-up when I slammed on the brakes to pull in there. it was in awesome condition, white (of course....). I doubt it gets driven much. I knocked on the door of the house, but I don't think anyone was home.



like martin said. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/

There are some good guys out in the PNW that could probably help you track one down and get it over here.


check out www.Suberdave.com for project RX-RA (yes, it has a Type-RA EJ20G in it, complete with 5 injectors and gold valve covers!).

 

that link didn't work but thanks for the advice i found a sedan in the dnever craigslist but its wasn't in great condition

 

pnw ?

 

Pacific NorthWest, as in Washington and Oregon. old subies are a dime a dozen out there! But RXs are still veeerrrrry rare!

well, that's the right link for dave's site.....not sure why it's not working.

 

Ahem.... I pulled the LSD R160 out of an RX turbo and installed it in my Datsun 510.

I agree, check out the pacific north west, I have seen 3 in junk yards there during my 5yrs in Tacoma.

 

you have a five and dime way to go datsun ftw i have wanted one of those for so long

 

a bump for help

 

lmfao @ your avatar

 

thanks i just love mef a lot

 

what more help do you want? I don't see a new post by you in the USMB wanted section.



you will NOT find an RX in even remotely decent condition in the midwest.

 

jump on this!!!
http://denver.craigslist.org/car/572260174.html

all the rare stuff (body kit, trans, rear diff, wheels, steering wheel adapter) on that car are worth it, even without a good shell. and only in Denver.

 

omg! jump on this if you are serious about getting an rx!

 

i e-mailed the guy waiting a response i really like this one does any one know that body kit or that hood?

 

factory RX coupe kit. same one I have on my wagon. mine cost a bit over $300 shipped. of course, I got hella lucky on that, if you can find one, they usually go for about that without shipping! but I can think of 2 somewhat recent threads looking for one, without any luck in months.

the hood is custom. some aftermarket (or....look kinda like factory 240Z) vents and either imitation, or modified WRX scoop, mounted on factory hood.


I have that same tranny/rear diff combo.....cost me $300 plus shipping from PA.

wheels are worth a few hundred depending on condition.



of course, you'll have to start looking for XT6 parts to swap to 5-lug to have the suspension and brakes to back up a turbo EJ swap.


there's also this one. not a genuine RX. but a coupe with front air dam, rear spoiler, turbo, FT4WD. if you're swapping the engine and/or transmission

i dig that one but honestly after seeing that sedan i am sold i just hope he responds soon

 

here's the original for sale thread:
http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=79151

which, I just realized, dan said it doesn't have a FT4WD trans in it. so unless the new owner swapped it out, it's just part-time 4WD. but if you're planning to swap to a 22t, you might as well put an EJ trans in there too.

 

I would say go get this!

Its good to be different, always.

looks like this car has all the right mods, vf-11, intercooled bla bla bla sweet!

 

yeah well I was planning on do that my only question on that car is that i would like to upgrade all the handling bits but i dont know what to use or what fits

 

unless the current owner changed anything, it already has the XT6 20mm front and rear sway bars. and RX springs. short of 5-lug swap (which I would highly recommend), it's pretty well maxed out.



oh, and the right mod, is to put that motor on a chain at the bottom of a lake somewhere and put a real motor in there.

 

where did you get your 5-lug set up just off a legacy or what and is there any after market suspension set ups in case this one needs replacing. What are my options or is xt6 pretty much the best i got

 

now you're talking about EA82 modding....which means it's time to do your homework.

if you're staying 4-lug.....GR2s. only thing even remotely stiffer than stock. get them for an XT for that ride height, or for any other 4WD EA82 for the stock monster-truck height.

 

Well

There maybe a nice 85 FWD XT Turbo EA82 car with a 5speed coming up for sale. I'm getting pissed at Subarus. I wont let the 86 AWD go yet because I have a extra small block chev motor sitting here that needs a car and I'm curious how long it will last as a RWD XT. If you want to see pictures do a search and you will find them. The 85 does not have the scoop and wing. Both cars are clean with new timing belts, clutches, brakes, tires, idler pulleys and tensioners. Both cars have head gasket issues or?

I'm trying to fix the 86 awd one more time and then it will become a project car. If your interested in the 85 let me know and you can come see it.
