subyrally

i wish i could go this year, i got no money, so i cant make it. i am going off to cry now.

heptane is the opposite of octane.

sweet deal. i got my rx for free, granted, it didnt have an engine or wiring harness.

i could dig a mr justy, imagine how fast it would be with a wrx engine. bet it would handle like it is on rails too.

yup, its still there and still for sale. im not sure what he is asking for it though. send me a pm if you want me to persue this for you. peace tim

sounds like what happened to my rx when the plenum came loose, but then i also blew a piston ring. i think the ring went later though. make sure all the connections are good. also, when it crapps out, does it sound lie a blow off valve or a whooshing sound? if so, its most likely a intake component after the turbo.

i dont have that issue, i dont even have belt covers.

i think that i guy i know is selling his justy. ill drive by and see if its still there today, if i can.

interesting

thanks for clearing that up. now, if only i had the money to even think about getting the rx back on the road.

how bad do you think the 272 camswill make the car run in street use? what improvements come from the 262 cams? im looking into these and need as much info as i can get.

nice, gotta love bronze rims on a rx. i gotta find pics of my rx with my 15" pugs that are painted bronze.

i had a freind when i was in school that had a 2.5rs that was putting down like 250hp at the wheels with out forced induction. but the engine was no where near stock. i think it was bored and stroked, as well as better cams, exhaust, intake, port an polish, and anything alse one could do to a n/a engine to make power. it was definatly a fast car though.

i know there are a few junk yards around central maryland tha t have the older subies that still have nice fenders on em.

i was diggin the 205/45/15 nitto nt450 tires on the pugs on my rx when it was drivable. never had issues with rubbing and they gripped great, gravel and street.

id like to rally one of those.

thats the usual code that comes up on my impreza. i just clear it and keep driving. it only pops up in severe bad weather for some reason.i know the cat isnt dead on the car cause when i ran a gas analizer, it was putting out clean air, well, at least cleaner than the air in the shop i was in. i am thinking that hte o2 sensor geeks out in heavy rains, at least on my car.

try hitting the top of the bolt with a hammer to help break it loose. it sometimes helps when they are corroded on. think of it like tapping the lid of a jar when you cant get it open. almost the same thing, just not.

yeah, i definatly cant go, i even had to pass on the carlisle show this weekend.

it will all swap over with ease, there are different set ups on the xt's though, it all depends on what year its from. the later versions had the spyder manifold whereas the older cars had the same set up as the rx. experts on the xt, feel free to correct me if i got stuff wrong.

damn will. glad to hear your ok, sorry about the rx. just remember, it could have been much worse. i say that you should try to fix it. it might be a good oportunity to come up with some new goodies for the greater good. maybe use it as a test bed.

interesting..

dont see why not, give it a try will, id like to see what happens. how hard will it be to come up with a new fuel rail for em?

check the ignition fuse, happened in my rx, took two months to figure out that the connector in the fuse block was bent to the point that the fuse wansnt getting a good connection. good luck

yeah, im poor.
