Ive got two cars that are a bit of a nuissance...


Recommended Posts

Ok, the 89 RX coupe, and the 89 DL...the DL is...well, less than desireable for me. Auto, slow, 2wd on top of that. The RX...engine no run, blown head gaskets. No turbo, no intake stuffs, no exhaust at all, no cams/cam cases, and its got a temporary suspension on it, just so I can move it around. No front seats either.

 

Im wondering what to do....take RX parts and convert the wagon over for an off road rig? Or take some of the wagons stuff and do an off road rig with the RX? My autocross/future track car is the GL-10...Luxobarge #2...it WILL retain its full interior, and everytihng will be creature friendly...A/C, radio/CD player and all. My 88 RX will remail mostly stock and be used as the dailyer driver to and from work...100 miles a day. In the mean time, the 89 RX and DL are rotting in two separate places. The DL runs and drives perfectly except for needing some front axles soon, and the Left rear shock is blown out...so its a little bouncy.

 

Personally, I dont want to get rid of the RX, and id rather see the DL go...but some of the parts on it are valueble to me....for instance, all the ventalation stuff works perfect on it, i could use those parts to fis the 88 RX's problems.

 

Lets let the opinions fly...

 

RX parts to DL, DL parts to RX's....DL parted and gone, or RX parted and gone? Others? Lets hear it! I cant make up my mind!!

If you part the RX, I would REALLY like to buy the coil springs from it. Possibly we could work something with the LSD?.. BUT ANYWAY, in all honest opinion, Fixing up the RX would probably be more worth it in the end as far as retaining value.. and RX's just look cooler anyway... and you could use some of the interior parts from the DL, and vents and stuff... heck you could throw the HI-comp pistons in the Turbo engine and have a blast! Since we're talking deals, if you part the DL, I could use a driverside front fender if its in good condition...:brow:

The RX's coil springs are nowhere to be found. I cant find them. Whats on it is 2wd XT turbo on the front, and GL-10 turbo wagon on the rear. The front is low, and the back is way up. The stock RX struts are gone as well...even those were not original RX, they were aftermarket crap, one side was taller than the other.

 

The stock RX trans and LSD is going into my GL-10 wagon....so Im thinking a regular 5spd D/R and a welded diff might be going in the RX.

 

Ive still no decided what to do yet....so I dont know about parts. I know poormansimpreza really wants the RX's instrument cluster.
