DJtheGOD Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi y'all Well after lookin at some side pics of both Rx coupes and the XT coupe if you remove the bolt on front ends and the rear panels is the rest the same(thinking of finding the bolt on bits for my RX) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 hi no, not at all. all the body peices are completly different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorse001 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 hino, not at all. all the body peices are completly different BUT the chassis are identical in as far as mechanically. IIRC all EA82 series share chassis components. EXCEPT the XT6. The 6 shares more with the later Legs & Imps, though the basic suspension architecture is still EA82. I'd think your RX would share more body parts with the Loyale, or GL/DL sedans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I already know I will have to source a front end of a XT and see if they bolt on, I mean the bolt on bits like guards,bonnet(hood for those of u from the US) and lights and grill.

75subie Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 just to save you some time and money, they will not work without alot of fabrication. if you are willing to fabricate new mounts for everything, give it a shot. people have had ideas about doing simular things, but usually chicken out.

No - the body's are completely different. The RX is just a trim line of the GL 3 Door Coupe body. The XT is a completely different animal. There's many, many differences even in the drivetrain components. The XT's used MPFI EA82's with serpentine accesory belts for example - these were unique in the EA82 line. Body panels will not even be close. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorManzImpreza Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 XT and XT6 share driveline pick-up point compatibility with rx/gl/gl loyale range xt6 front end is different to allow the er27, but everything suspension and drivline related will bolt between the cars, even the er27 with some 'adjustments'... Body wise that is where it stops..don't think a single piece of xt sheetmetal will bolt and function on a gl/dl/rx/loyale/leone/L-series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoomer Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The RX is just a trim line of the GL 3 Door Coupe body.GD The RX was a package for sedans as well as the three door coupe. Actually the sedan was first then the 3door coupe. (a friend of mine had a RX sedan from 85,) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(a friend of mine had a RX sedan from 85,) I've known that since before you were old enough to drink. Besides that it still makes no difference in the fitment of XT body panels - they won't fit either the 3-door or the sedan body. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJtheGOD Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 I sold that in May..You like the boost gayge? How much you sell it for,did you sell it to Levin, it pretty good nick and lastly did you put new engine in it,oh and do you have a left rear light cluster,and the boost guage is all good,I am in the process of fitting a BOV and a controller,and a set of 14" alloys,do you need any bits for any of your cars,I got various cars and bits here(ea81 engine in good nick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waimaks Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Sold it to a guy in Levin for $1000 or there abouts. Wasn't completely satisfied with him but anyway, live and learn. No new engine that I knew of, I was second owner and brought it after the first owner died... I had been told it had some sort of reconditioning done on the engine, not a full rebuild as far as I know though. I found receipts for ~$700 of brake work. Fairly well serviced all of its life with the previous owner and while I had it. I put new timing belts on it. I don't really need tooo much for my cars at the mo. Only one I'm trying hard to keep on the road is the my '81 brumby, My little project, the rest are beyond saving. It needs CV's (repco are so F#@'in useless) and a few other little things. Still WOF'd and REGo'd though. Always on the look out for Gen 1's near me. Apprentice wages aren't the best tho. Also looking for some tasteful accessories (alloys- hint hint- rofl). Anyway, anything you needa know just ask me and I'll see if I can help ya. Kinda getting off track here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
