just had to come here and show my excitment. a guy at a shop around the corner from ours also does rally /rallyX. he put together an RX for the rallyX that happened yesterday but killed the motor when out testruning it on friday. he got frustrated and wants it gone for the cost of parts he put on it. I looked at it today. its a white hatch like my last one. It has a FMICfrom a mercedes. rally tires and spare parts along with some other mods. it still runs but is puffing a lot of blow buy.

 

I have a spare motor that I was waiting to drop into something. well I think somthing just came along.

 

My wife is pissed. I will be sleeping in the dog house for a while.

 

who knows I may put it up for grabs after I get it running good again. or sell off some of the other vehicles here.

Congrats! And bring plenty of warm blankets. But you don't have to sleep in the dog house.... that is what the back seat of the car is for (after you're married )

Awesome!! YOu cant sell it! Keep it and we can go rally'n!!!

Nice score! We're waiting on pics...

 

No need for the dog house. Fold down the back seats in the RX and lay a sleeping bag down

yeah I am stoked about it. My partners at work wanted the car too. I just got to it first.

 

no rear seat in the RX I will have to use my wagon to sleep in.

 

I think she is warming up to the car. espically because I told her she could plan another vacation to where ever she wants. heck who needs money. I only have to work two jobs to help support all our hobbies/adventures.

 

pics will come after its completely in my possesion right now its sitting at our shop.

Nice score! We're waiting on pics...

PICs added. as you can see its a bit of a strange beast. it will be fun when its up and running. got the short block assembled yesterday and have most all the parts to complete it except the lightened flywheel I need to pick up on monday. next season I will be playing with the big boys in 4wd open class. woo hoo!

 

I need a decent used TD04 wrx turbo if anyone knows where I can get one at a reasonable price

I like the hood work! And the steels with the bodykit looks kinda cool too. The pumper has me laughing though.

thats an awesome car, i like the headlights there, different. sure wish i had an rx, especially if it were like that.

Wow, I'm just drooling all over the place..that is defintely a score. Get it running again!

Russ... we're gonna have to get together now!! THat RX is SWEEEET! Im super jealous. I love that scoop, any idea what it came from?

Score on the FMIC'ed RX. That's an interesting front end, I would like to see a straight on shot of that.

nice score, i say keep it! i love those lights and the hood scoop

the quad lights and front end are sick!!are they out of a vw?

as best as I can figure the scoop is off an RX7. whatever it was had an aluminum hood.

 

dont know what the lights came off of. VW? mabey like a dasher or somthing.

 

the intercooler and hoses were from some mercedes. c230? not too sure what he said it was.

 

I am most interested in how those Rally tires will grip in the dirt.

 

ran into a slight problem on assembly of the motor. one head bolt thread is striped out in the block. I need to find an insert.. actually a full set of inserts would be best. delay of game.

dam you tizzle ya beat me to the fmic comment ... and someone beat me on the lights comment

 

and wait!! hah nifty not so stock front grill !!

Nice score! I like ALL the differences of the car so far. The hood scoop, came front mounted intercoolered all ready. Lucky bastid! And it has less rust than mine.

I love that front end, me want

I'd like a hoodscoop like that one on my RX. If you could, maybe find out some more about the parts the guy used on the car;)

Nice car! Heck, I would sleep in the thing for a couple of nights and I don't even have a wife.

coolness....yet another RX in the proper hands of the family.

Looks cool, and definitely very unique. What's with the front bumper?

NIce!!! do you have a better shot of the front? what are the lights/grill from? that loks sick

hey Russ thats a nice RX. i have to come by now and take a good look at it.

allright you asked for it. heres a big ol grill shot. I cannot get it straight on because its in the garage.

 

the last guy was concerned about air flow I guess.

I did not ask a lot of questions at the time because I did not want him to change his mind about the deal.

im liking the headlights. if u can, can u find out what they were from? i say make the 2 inner holes into brake ducting!
