TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Yup... add another notch to the headpost, here's the 11th Subaru for me not the SVX, the RX This is actually RallyRuss's old RX. I bought it from his cousin today. Its a great little car, runs like a top and is 99.9% straight. Just a few minor dings, no rust or real scratch's. It will be replacing my Legacy as my daily driver and so far no real mods planned out. I will be replacing the rims asap, and I have a lead on a small I/C for it as well. Im impressed with the handling, but it seems to be slow. That comming from my EJ22T though, so its what I expected. The speedo is alittle off, and the diff light keeps flickering, but other than that everything is operational. You can also hear the turbo alot more than on my legacy, but that might be cause the exhaust isn't near as loud.

edrach Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Nice car, Brian. I have some really pretty wheels for it; you saw them at WCSS6--the polished alloys:) . Good luck with the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 That is a nice looking RX. Mine has a fair bit of runst underneath. Good score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik litchy Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 looks great. did you rip out the ac? hows the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Russ ripped out the A/C. I know i'll be regretting that when summer comes back. The inside is real good too, just 2 tears on the drivers seat. There's no stereo, so right now im in the process of installing the Kenwood from my legacy. But i find myself fabricating a dash plate, and so far its still not deep enough to fit the standard DIN stereo Ed... those rims would look great on my car, but i cant afford them. I have a set of 15" pug alloys lined up that will be going on the car, but that probably wont be for a few weeks after i get a paycheck or two. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americanyouth Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Now I feel inadequite working on just two. Might I ask why you're retiring the SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 The SS is beat up, and looks like crap. Nobody can argue the RX is one of the sexiest subaru's made. I also have a few friends interested in the SS parts. The EJ22T will be going to a friend who will be converting his 91 L Sedan to EJ22T. And the 5spd will be going to a turbo wagon owner I know of. This RX hardly needs any work at all. The SS on the otherhand needs new steering, suspension. Not to mention all the window seals on the SS leak as well making for a very noisy ride. The RX will also help keep me out of trouble... since it doesnt go nearly as fast -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NV Zeno Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Nice straight rig, but no AC? EEK! Those parking lot scenes look a little familiar..perhaps Oakland or Berkeley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Dude, headposts aren't for cars Woops Dave, thats in Berkley... its where the car was at. The SVX belongs to my friend Hardy. He drove me to pick it up -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I wish I would have boughten it when I had the chance but oh well I got my $150 RX;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I will argue about it being the sexiest Soob. If I park my 89 XT6 next to my 89 RX, you can see what I mean. And white just isnt sexy. Now black.....thats naughty Nice car Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 damit I miss that little ride. well good luck with it brian. treat it well or I will come repo it. naw its yours now so beat it up all you want. it likes the abuse. yeah the car could really use a good intercooler set up. I had plans for a FMIC. but I cant go crazy on too many cars at once. my fleet has other non subes as well that need attention too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theDirtyRue Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 There's no stereo, so right now im in the process of installing the Kenwood from my legacy. But i find myself fabricating a dash plate, and so far its still not deep enough to fit the standard DIN stereo -Brian If it's anything like my old 87 gl-10, there are afew metal brackets in the back that get in the way. I ended up using a hack saw and cutting them enough to bend them out of the way. They are only the mounting brackets for the original stereo... But then again, I could be totally wrong as I've never actually seen the inside of an RX... Anyway, Good luck with the install and the new car. I've got three, but Give it time, and I'll soon catch you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Nice ride. Too bad you're not gonna shove that ej22t into it. . . Says who?? It was something i was thinking of doing. Searched the BYB board all last night for people who have done EJ20 swaps, but couldnt find anyone. Even tho i know there's a handful of people over there swapping EJ's into their RX's. I got the stereo in, wired it all just to find there were no speakers in the doors. Luckily i had some 5.5" 150watt 3 way speakers from my Wagon. They fit perfectly in the doors. I have a pair of 3way 8x6 that I need to put somewhere as well, and i think i'll find a small sub box for the rear as well. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
