Well...everyone forgot about my RX.........who cares! :madder: Doesnt matter, DJ's is way more reliable than mine. But I had AWD! Anywho...that is way awesome man. I can get you a 4wd donor car...for $400. Its supposed to run, but overheats...and its and Auto. I can....get you an XT6 trans and matching rear diff. Dennis: Cams did a TON for my RX. Stand on it, it get sideways. old engine: it just goes. New engine: speedo pegs out in no time. Old engine: 110 mph, thats it.

i dont know if its true or not...but newer seems to be better. and the SPFI manifold works as well. I think, that since its for the EA82, it does flow better, since the EA82 has more output than the EA81. But Ive not done the mod, I remember a long tiem ago when it was heavly discussed. its archived somewhere. YOu might want to check out the search feture for more info if someone else doesnt chime in.

Nice to see you on the board again Marnix! And thanks for the Euro stuff!

TheSubaruJunkie: Sounds like a plan. I will search around. beauregaardhooligan: Sending you a PM with info.

Hey Guys. First, I am back from Germany. I enjoyed my trip much, it was very enjoyable. Ive got some pics from the back corner of a storage building at a SUBARU dealership to show soon... Right now, I am trying to sell a nice RX with a PERFECT body and interior to someone on the board, instead of letting it rot on a car lot somewhere, like it was. Back to the subject...I can get a set of Pug wheels, the 15 inch 8 spoke, slilver....for $200 with tires...the catch is I have to take the whole car...so for $200, I get the wheels, AND the whole car. Its a 505. Opinions?

thanks guys!

....dont blow up the USMB!! Just so everyone knows, I'll be leaving for Germany, to see my ever so lovely significant other...:santa: and I'll be there until Jan 7th. I'll be leaving here on Dec 16th, tuesday. So, everyone here have a very merry x-mas, and an excellent new years! Maybe I'll being back some cool SUBARU items from Germany!

Soobadooba: Good point with the pedal assy., as those came out of a 1986 Non turbo, 2wd GL wagon. Carbed too. Theres no more time left to really mess with this thing before i leave...I will archive this topic, and first thing I will do when i get back is fix this thing. tailgatewagon: The throwout brg is in correctly, and is correct. Seems there are only two avail...2wd and a 4wd. All 4wd, turbo or not, seem to be the same in all dimensions. 2wd are quite a bit smaller.

it has done it ever since i did the 5spd conversion, with BOTH transmissions. The only time it shift correctly, meaning the clutch seems to disengage properly, is when its all cold. But when everything gets warm...like in city stop and go driving, it gets really really hard to shift. But still, the pedal doesnt feel like any other factory 5spd, so there is some kind of problem.

baccaruda: Both trans, and bell housing appear to mate perfectly. Skip: Yes, brand new pilot. I'll see about the fork travel. McBrat: It was turned properly. Skips flywheel (on the RX) was turned more than the GL-10's was, and the RX still disengages like its a hydr. clutch. Soobadooba: Ummm... could you simplify that? Or do you mean the trans input shaft is rubbing on the crank, cuz its in too far or something like that? (its late here) For comparrison: The RX, and any other factory 5spd acts like so: free play, pedal gets hard, harder, softer, to floor. The wagon...Constant...but the closer to the floor, it ever so slightly gets harder. WTF? any more suggestions? That way ive got a hoard load to experiment with tomorrow...if its not all iced up, and cold as frick.

not on the east coast. I sold the LAST 5 of the lug parts...and the ONLY complete front/rear 4wd set i ever seen. Plenty of 2wd tho.

it was for a turbo. and the flywheel is a turbo

Overall, the pedal is stiffer than the RX, and has more resistance.

bajavwnsoobnut: Hey, good idea! I'll look at that.

Ive used TWO different pres plates, one NEW and one used, both act the same. Its illegal becuz its not suppozed to do what its doing.

the clutch moved on it freely, on BOTH transmission, and BOTH clutch discs. the RX had the trouble with that issue, but the clutch on it releases when the pedal is HALF way dpressed, and its got more than specified play.

Ok, on my converted wagon...the clutch wont release all the way. Its done this with the previous trans - the 2wd one - as well as the current one. This FT4WD one, I got a new clutch, pres plate, thro.brg, pilot and resurfaced the flywheel. the cable is adjsuted to minimal play before it starts to dissengage...and STILL, it wont release the clutch all the way!! If I adjust it anymore, I'll technically be ridding the clutch...and ive done that before, and nothing works. Ive also used many different length cables, and nothing seems to work, both new and used. any ideas?

stock boost. nothing is for sale...yet. Sorry, I belive this RX was faster than a WRX.

ive got over a year, and 17k miles on the GL-10's high compression turbo engine. No problems at all. The RX...idk what the deal is. Its a completely STOCK bottom end. the WRX is great. Now the dealership has come back and said i cant ahve it for what they quoted me at. :argue: they will have a Ferengi on thier hands tomorrow afternoon.

Lemme know what you need from here, and I'll see what I can do, how does that sound?

My plans right now...but they may change...the GL-10 will get restored to appear as if stock, and fuction like a civilized SUBARU, with turbo...it'll be a GL-10/RX hybrid. Im gonna make it reliable and dependable.

myossfeece: I dont think his is a FT4WD car. If its part time, then those dont have center diffs.

I was actually gonna get a FT4WD auto trans to slap into the GL-10....but, in leiu of the RX situation, the LSD and the trans sounds good in the GL-10. I might repaint the body kit and put it on the wagon. Maybe use the springs and camber plates on it too....but the GL-10 will be a family like car, and when Im done "restoring" it so to say...then I will turn the WRX in to something to be rekoned with...within reasons of reliability. I dont think the whole conversion thing there is a good idea....LOL. But it was something I was thinking about doing. I really dont know what the RX's future will be. It will be used for parts tho...maybe saved for when Ive got a shop or somthing...and some $ to throw STI stuff in it, and straighten it out.

Exactly. But all the WRX stuff can be used on the EJ22 engine. SO there ya go.

Actually, I found springs that fit the stock RX struts, and the rears too. But they were not accord springs. Now that I own a WRX, I can safely say, that the RX would out corner and out run, up to 110MPH, a stock WRX. But that it matters now, the RX doesnt like my engine project, so its toast.
