EOI: 87 RX Turbo sedan.
Hi all,
It's been a while coming, but now is crunch time for my poor RX. I bought it in November 2007 to use as an economical daily driver, although it did come with an EJ20G fitted. In the time I've owned it it has been relatively economical although it has let me down a couple of times.
I have bought a house in the last few months, and now with a little help have also purchased a new (non subaru) daily driver.
I have had to use some of the wagon's goodies to keep the RX going, and the plan at the moment is to swap them back to the wagon. I am looking for a good home for the RX and depending on what people are interested in will determine the fate of it.
Here are its pros:
EJ20G motor
5 speed 4.11 from RS Lib
4.11 VLSD
Rear discs (duh)
High rise manifold (spacers)
WAIC
Is registered to May(with correct engine number)
Fairly new clutch
2.5" exhaust with cat
Checkered interior (maybe thats a con)
Brand new tailshaft
GFB boost controller
Front Kings Springs
Rear Kings / KYB's
And its cons:
Needs new windscreen
Needs new water pump, and new timing belt
Clutch is shuddering (didn't skim flywheel)
Needs coils (have spare HEC716's, not yet fitted)
Wiring is garbage
Stereo is rooted
No roof lining
Brown carpet
Minor rust spots
A bit grubby
Now its currently got my wagon's diff in it but if someone is keen for the whole car I am prepared to let that go. It also currently has the PowerFC from my wagon, was more of a "fed up with fault codes" manouver on my part. This will not be going with the car, I need it. It also has 15" alloys that will not be sold - I will take them to the grave with me .
And there's the matter of the rear hubs - I do want them but I have replacements.
I did purchase this car fairly cheap at the time. Considering it has problems that were not present when I bought it and the fact I have put nearly 40,000km's on it I would be foolish to ask for a lot. But that said I have put a lot of money and work into it. When I got it it had no door handles, no stereo surround, chopped springs all round and a crap open rear diff that ended up siezing on me.
So anyway, is anyone interested in this thing at all? Make an offer..

Free bump
Im opposite... i got somewhere to park it but no money to buy it. For that price i would consider buying it just for something to do... this is a very good buy for anyone wanting a project... it just needs some love.
