Flowmastered87GL Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Good deal, a running turbo for $300... thats really low miles too compared to my (non turbo) with 315.9K Does it have the body kit and stuff on it? It COULD be an "RX" which is a fairly sought after car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat hutt Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 what do you mean by cone filter? if this is a pod filter this is a bad idea on an old turbo subaru as the pod filter reduces power and draws hot air into the engine rather than cold which is what you need. it sounds like it gives you car more power but its just manifold noise the best way is the standard box with a good panel filter. unless you have a scoop blowing cold air onto the filter its a bad idea subarus get hot anyway especally olds ones no need to make this any worse.. your can sounds like an old rx coupe is it two or four door if rx are also four wheel drive permanetly and they have standard body kits they were one of the first real rally cars.

87hatchbackturbo Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 it says gl on the back and is 2 wheel drive. it is also a 2dr and has 4 wheel disc brakes with a big rubber spoiler on the back. It has a small air dame in the front and rubber pieces infront of the back tires. i have heard some call the spoiler a nerf it feels like a nerf ball. i really like this car alot its not real fast but i love old bugs and ghi too. it will burn first then catch 2nd and cherp 3rd . then i can go get the groceries. i dont thank it is a rx but did they make a hatchback or do you call it a fast back when i buy parts i tell them (87 1800 ea82t fwd 2dr hatchback). MAN I NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE PICS THING . WELL OFF TO WORK I GO WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 when you go to buy parts, the part stores refer to them as coupes but on here, we refer to them as either 3-doors or RXs depending on what you have. I got pics of the build up I'm doing on my '89 RX at http://community.webshots.com/album/302403464nPmSgF Check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Since its 2WD, its just a GL 3dr.... not and RX. A turbo 2WD is pretty rare though. Dont see em too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
