February 22, 200620 yr well I still kept the wagon i bulit in 99/00 , which by the way has been sitting in the garage for the 1.5 years. So, after dealing with the lame "mod me and i explode" 1.8t, it was time, time for an upgrade here's a little story(click for bigger pics), got up early and drove teh RX to north WA ended up in Puyallup to pick up this. super thanks to suberdave for letting me store it for a couple days!!! i owe you, and yes your wagon is fast!(well have to have a little head to head at wcss;) ) just a hair over 100k, smaked in the rear, burned up clutch. *edit* nevermind the rims( see page 2) and its getting stuffed into ...so that there's no more of this so ill keep this thread updated on the progress, and build up of the 2.2T. the fun should start right after i move into my new house.
February 22, 200620 yr good to see you made it home. see you again next week. then the fun begens -=Suberdave=-
February 22, 200620 yr u r teh realz leet man! lol, sorry, just had to. Good to see a old car getting a new life. Those heart transplants are real nice, would like on myself. Hope to hear you don't have any problems with the install. Good luck man.
February 22, 200620 yr Why didn't you call me doad? I would rather have ridden up with you rather then freaking work 5am-9pm. So, the RX wagen changes motors like you change your underwear. BTW: What did you decide on for the license plate up here in the WA?
February 22, 200620 yr please keep me informed on the swap. my lifted wagon should be getting the same engine here in the next 3 months.
February 22, 200620 yr Author i am definitly will be updated this...im soo excited i can't wait! im moving next monht and have a big garage i need to break in
February 22, 200620 yr I am glad it will be reborn, that wagon is too nice to die. after dealing with the lame "mod me and i explode" 1.8t how this is wrtten is hilarious
February 22, 200620 yr yeah but Brad, my RX is finally running with the stock engine in it.... Why didn't yours ever run with the turbo engine you put in it? Hmmmm????? Just kidding. Congrats. Now this just means I'm gonna have to start on my new EA82T here before too long but I'll probably have the one in the RX right now in there for the show. Oh and I got the manual BTW yesterday.
February 22, 200620 yr someone didn't answer their phone:rolleyes: My bad, you know my days off...Sunday and Monday, let's do something then.
February 22, 200620 yr the wheels aren't rare....they are chrysler. Congrats. on the new project...can't wait to see the results
February 23, 200620 yr awesome brad, are you going to be living in the portland area still. id like to give ya a hand with wrenching that beast of a motor under the hood. does this mean that you will be going with a legacy tranny? ~Josh~
February 23, 200620 yr Author well for the time being i will be using my xt6 tranny w3.9vlsd rear end. reasons why... 1: buys me more time (one less thing to mod) to get it done so i can at least drive it for the time being 2: since people "talk the talk, but don't walk the walk" it will actually give solid proof over at xt6.net on what this tranny can handle. that is, if/when it breaks.
February 23, 200620 yr Dang, you came all the way up here and didn't call, heck I'm less then an hours drive from Dave's place. When are you planning to be back up this way? Maybe we can meet at Dave's and go get some lunch like we did down in Bend.
