March 15, 201511 yr Never really posted many pictures of my RX over the years. Got it back in 2004 for $1100. Threw in another EA8T pretty much right away. Added ceramic coated TWE exhuast/custom exhaust, superpro bushings all around Ran into Ron Sorems rally prepped RX put the hubcaps back on. Seen here at a Washington RX meet Hella fogs and Gold Enkeis Head problem again, slapped a Gen3 in there Edited October 22, 20178 yr by tizzle
March 15, 201511 yr Author Decided to do a 5 lug conversion for better braking, and tire options Edited October 22, 20178 yr by tizzle
March 15, 201511 yr Author 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?

March 15, 201511 yr Author Why not get the mouse nest out of there from 4 years ago, and do the heater coil. Edited October 22, 20178 yr by tizzle

March 15, 201511 yr Author 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. Edited October 22, 20178 yr by tizzle
March 15, 201511 yr Nice ride man! I just picked up a running 87 RX for $50 bucks and a snickers bar. What are you doing with the parts car? I could use a white Rx front bumper mine came with a black 85-86 GL bumper..
March 16, 201511 yr Author I guess my plan is to get the other RX running just because, and to hoard parts.
March 16, 201511 yr looks amazing with that rim choice !! your RX is amazing cant wait to see more you got me drooling !
March 18, 201511 yr I remember seeing you driving around Bellingham on the gold Enkeis back when I was in school. Great looking RX man, suuuuper clean!
May 10, 201510 yr Author Thanks Bennie. Glad to see you still have it! Of course Russ. I'm in it for the long haul
October 22, 20178 yr Author 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. Edited October 22, 20178 yr by tizzle
October 25, 20178 yr Author Ha, I get way too much enjoyment just having the car and looking at it car parked in my driveway to sell it.
