Dr. RX Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Could you provide a link to that site and/or post? Since STi (but not under that name) started at Subaru sometime in the late 80's, I guess it might be proper to call it a RX STi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausubaru92 Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Sorry, i completly forgot about a link:drunk: I didnt know u had to be a member to read posts,.. try this http://www.ausubaru.com/ausubaru/html/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4035&highlight= A few quotes: From Wheels Magazine June 1985 ',and during 1985 there will be 20 specially imported RX turbos brought to Australia. The car has already attracted enough attention for Subaru to consider introducing a road-going version as part of its Australia line-up, although that would not be before 1986 in any case. The rally cars are European-specification road machines, and as such come without compliance plates but their new owners have made special arrangement's to register them for rally use only.' 'Subaru also has the equipment to turn them into full-on Group A rally machines. This includes up rated gas suspension, a close-ratio gearbox, improved braking system, a roll cage, body guards, different wheels and even a "black box" system to provide adjustable boost for the turbocharger, since adjustable wastegates are not allowed in Group A.' Here is one of the links to page with heaps of info about this RX http://www.faberit.com.au/RXRally/Pics/Article/index.htm Hope this helps Gannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. RX Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Too bad these weren't the coupes that Subaru did in 87 for the WRC, I'd love to get my hands on one of them and restore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
