ByTheSea Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Found a white 88RX coupe but it's auto. Was that an option or something changed later by the owner? PS. Kid at the junkyard scrappped the tank, cat and batt cause "It ticked!" so I may buy it and install the parts from my yard queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 it could have been an owner install but I have seen a awd 4sp auto in a RS before and hey Bythesea glad to see ya again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I saw a black RX with 4EAT last year that looked too nice to be an owner install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Boy that's a new one for me, I thought the only year the auto was an option on the RX was 89. BTW, an auto will not have a LSD rear diff. Can you check the data plate, if the build date is 9/88 or later, it is a 89 model year car.

tailgatewagon Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 there is one here in town been sitting on the lot for along time 89 white rx with 4eat. been there 1.5 years or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByTheSea Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 I bet it's the late 88 then. I took a glance at the diff tag but it was super nasty and the ground was muddier than ell. Maybe I'll swoop on it after all as my GF only drives autos and she'd be better in the RX than her FWD Loyale this winter,,, maybe (lol, her foot is pretty but made from concrete). I have a stock 3.70 LSD and a 3.90 VLSD on the shelf so no problem there. It's a pretty solid car and the oil and coolant were clean and full so unless that was an attempt to fool prospective buyers it might be okay head wise. Thanks all PS Good to be back Baja, been lurking but just to busy to play with my toys this year. Still driving all old Soob daily but all my projects are on hold till my butt unpuckers from the divorce LOL. Got the kids so maybe I can sell em to raise some funds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerFahrer Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I thought the only year the auto was an option on the RX was 89. You're right Corky, 89-only for auto RX's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
