  1. I had to repair this thread because Photobucket sucks.

    New Clutch

    Car was not driven much after the new clutch. I believe the ethanol blend gas went bad or there is gunk in the tank, so I need to remove the gas tank.

  2. Concerned with the rust in the rear lid, and availability of body parts, I jumped on an 87 RX in town for $500, engine was taken apart.

    And that is all I got for now,  Think I am going to have to tear into it for some clutch work. I will try to get some better pics of the brakes.

  3. Getting the kinks worked out, had my Legacy's wheels on there.  16x7  Magnesium Speedline WRC Tarmac wheels from Japan.

  4. I redid the strut setup and brakes several times, so I can't quite remember what I have on there, but..

    Removed hill holder, added STI brake booster and master cylinder, and WRX proportioning valve, which required some custom brake line routing

    Drilled through floor to re-route e brake to rear, E brake handle from Honda CRV I think.  I work at an auto wrecker, so i was just grabbing stuff that looked right.

    Did calipers and rotors as WRX fronts and LGT rears, then Re-did with WRX 4/2 pots all around, which required different rear backing plate.

    xt6 swaybars

    Had wrx struts/front knuckles in with lowering springs in the front, which required lots of smashing with a big mallet, and enlarging a couple holes.

    retained RX control arm with EA81 tie rod end

    Swapped in Forester front strut instead? cant remember, it was too low

    Got some Miata  Koni's from work for the rear, NB front's I think?

  5. Never really posted many pictures of my RX over the years.  Got it back in 2004 for $1100.
