July 22, 200520 yr A little update on the RX....new wheels for it and about 1/2 of the parts for the rebuild are present. Waiting to get the donor car there so i can start cutting and welding more.
July 22, 200520 yr those wheels look great. powdercoated or painted? agreed! very nice is that the same one that got, uh, 'bent' earlier this year? lookin hot now!
July 22, 200520 yr Can we see a pic of the other side? I'd like to see the damage repair progress. I must say it looks good from that angle.
July 22, 200520 yr Author Powder coated...and yes thats the same one that was rather bent a month or so ago....ive got all the damaged stuff cut off the car now.
July 23, 200520 yr anybody ever noticed that the RX 3 door with body kit looks like a toyota levin? I don't know, but I think the RX is the best coupe-ish subaru body style aside from the 22B. Old school appeal... hey, anybody got pics of a JDM EA81 based RX? Are they the same body style?

July 24, 200520 yr Will, that picture was taken where and the cars to the left of yours belongs to? coworkers? Isn't the wagon yours too? What exactly did you cut out of your RX and what did you replace it with? Wheels look good. They look like the 15" steel wheels I just painted white for the slicks I just got to autocross here locally. Didn't make it to Verona though. you headed up this way soon? We are in the same class now BTW. Jay
July 24, 200520 yr that's badass i am glad you found a way to save the rx also more pics todays wisdome putting your finger in a cooling fan is the single dumbest thing i have ever done
July 24, 200520 yr that's not so bad. crossthreading a manifold bolt on your motor in your only running (at then not running! LOL) car is waaaay worse. I would have rather stuck my finger in the fan.

July 25, 200520 yr has anybody ever shaved the rear bumper on an rx?it looks pretty good w/o a bumper.then you could just add a fiberglass/plastic skin.just an idea, here is a quick pic of kinda what it`d look like:

We are in the same class now BTW. Jay To the left...2005 STi, its a track only car with a 20G turbo and full exhaust with an Ecutek tune, puts down over 300 at the wheels. 2005 Outback XT, 6spd conversion and an axis long block with a GT35R+NOS and some other goodies...expecting to see well over 650 WHP with that. 2003 EVO 8...GT35R build and all kinds of suspension and drag race goodies...expecting to see well over 600 at the wheels with it as well. Just the RX belongs to me. The GL-10 is in the charlotte area...and I have the 96 Outback sitting out front. What I cut out was the entire left front sheet metal forward of the strut tower, and 1/2 way over on the front radiator pannel. I have not got the donor car here yet, so its still sitting here in peices. OOO...race tires! I'll have to see those. So you made the car FSP legal now? Thats the class I will be running in when its done... I'd like to get the car done this year and atleast do a few local events in it before it gets parked for winter/off season re-rebuild...depending on when its done, I might not even run it on race tires until next season.
