TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Did you pick up that one that was primered grey?? Im in sacramento too, but I dont own a RX (anymore). Not many in this area that I know of, except for my old one which now belongs to a kid in Yuba City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda rough around the edges but everything in working order! (Almost) it's gonna be my daily driver but also wanna pick up some missing parts like front bumper spoiler & some bits from the interior... All tips & help is appriciated Edited September 21, 2009 by teamrx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yeah that is the one I was talking about. I didn't want to buy it cause he wouldnt smog it. You better see if it will pass before you start dumping a ton of money into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamrx Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 That's why I got it sooo cheap!!! But I'll put a cat & res on it w/ muffler it should pass... Everything still works on it too even if the looks are not @ par Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 My RX ran like a top, even after a fresh rebuild. Of course, it was alittle hi-perf rebuild, but it ran clean. Failed 3 times, i ended up selling it as-is, but got a fair amount for it considering the work performed. Anyhow, those are great cars. I was going to buy it and just drop a EJ2.2 in it, then worry about smogging it that way. With my experience in California with the EA series, I think the 2.2 swap & smog ref would be easier to get by. Have you been to the local pick-n-pull off sunrise blvd? That maybe your best bet. There are a few other yards around, you may get lucky and find a RX in one of them but I would not hold my breath. If you want to increase your luck, you can try the PnP in sparks Nevada or Carson City Nevada, they usually get the good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 There's 2 white rx coupes in the carson yard right now, but both seem to be missin the trannies, lsd's, body kits and brakes. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I know a junkyard near Bordertown NV that is full of Brats, and I think they might just have a RX tranny and a couple pieces of RX kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
