First off, I just wanted thank the members of the USMB for your help, even though some of it was indirect (reading old threads) you guys still posted them, so thanks me and the lil sedan apreciate it

I just thought it would be interesting to see where your cars came from.

 

I bought my car with 155k on the clock, MINT condition except a small tear in the drivers seat, ICE cold a/c and a load of spare parts.

I wasnt that inspired by the cars seemingly lethargic performance, its handling was nice, but tended to understeer.

One day, im just driving through town at about 3am, no one around but me at this point.Along comes a guy with a bright red porsche 944 up to the light next to me.. Me being the smart rump roast i am decided to rev it up on em, he gave me the stranges look, and revved back.. I get her ready to launch in low range. So the light flips green and i pop the clutch at about 5500rpm and of course the clutch slipped a little bit, but it still spun the tires and left the porsche sitting there like he didnt try. So the at the next like, i look over and just smile, he asks me to race from a 40 roll, I decline knowing i would get walked from any race exept from a stop. But he asked me to pull over so he could check out my car.. We talked for a while, he looked over my car, and he made an offer i couldnt refuse. his red 83 porsche 944 (equal condition, broken a/c and 96k on the clock) for my RX.. I thought about it for about a week, and decided to do it. After trading the thing for because it was due for a clutch and front cv axles (easy repair compared to the porsches mind you..) 2 weeks went buy, i loved the porsche, the girls did too, but it just wasnt a scooby.. So the guy i traded called me and said he wanted to buy the porsche back from me but still keep the subaru.. Now, all of a sudden, it just hit me.. For the 1500 dollars he wanted to give me to buy the porsche back, I thought to myself, I CAN BUY ANOTHER SCOOBY!.. then i though, well - i HAD an awesome scooby. So i told him the only way he was getting the porsche back is if he gave me back my RX. So we traded back.. Then I got to work

 

XT6 flywheel, clutch, pressure plate. then the intake and exhaust.

Then the front axles finally chunked, so i pulled em out, locked the diff and went on my way. GOD, the car was just SO much fun, and really responded well to the mods it had recieved. and at this point it would definately walk that porsche from a roll.. Then i added the starion ic/ modified wrx scoop.. it made so much more power that it stripped the Center diff lock coupler, so i of course i pulled the tranny and welded the center diff, and let me tell you - It really runs, and after diving it around tonight, i ofter wonder what the hell i was thinking trading an rx like that.. What is it about a boxy white sedan that makes me so crazy.. lol

Actually, I've never had that happen to me!

me neither for the most part lol traded a dodge truck for the 76 though

 

 

and if I was offered a 944 for the 83............... mods would be done to the poormans porsche

one time this guy traded me his modena for my wagon.......then I woke up
