Txakura Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 ... left a note on the windshield if they ever wanted to sell it 90K MILES on it, maybe I can get in the 'hey that ea82T really is a POS' club or the 'mine blew up too, told you so' mailing list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 That's not an RX so it's most likely a tranny-swapped Turbo GL. Probably was a push-button car originally. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD Roger that, it's not an RX or an RS. I realized it was a GL. The d/r is interesting. Also seeing the rear cargo light and slightly different hvac buttons was odd. But 90K? body was a whole lot less rock chipped and hammered up than mine, could believe it was an original 90K miles and not an instrument swap There would be a certain amusement in having two of the same body style, I could have one lifted and one for the pavement. Think of the interchangeability of the spares too bad I couldn't store my old spfi and s/r, they got crushed when the wagon met it's maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 now that you mention the HVAC differences, I see it too. which means it's an '85-'86. which means it could be PT4WD D/R. I know the '85-'86 RXs had a 3.7 PT4WD 1.2:1 D/R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Maybe '86, but I don't think the 3 door body was available in '85. I thought they came out in '87 but maybe I'm a year off. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 My favorit subaru of all time really? go fix that rust so i can take notes!! There would be a certain amusement in having two of the same body style, I could have one lifted and one for the pavement. not just amusement but functionality too, you're going to need a spare with an EA82T.

4x4_Welder Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I've thought of getting ones of those for a rally runner. Basically swap a WRX under that body, if I ever hit the lottery get a late model 6speed with DCCD, AWIC with about 16-18psi boost, full cage, etc..........

The Beast I Drive Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Its definitely an 86.... Interesting, Hopefully they will sell it to you cheap, would be a good rig to play around with after you ditch the turbo EA82... -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna see big chunks of oily metal flying willy nilly seriously, that would make a good car to 'RX', even though it has that lip on the hatch then I could have my RS for the dirt/snow and trails...

Turbone Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Its just a unbadged RX. There were some from the factory that never got labeled as a RX but had most of the RX stuff, sans body kit. If you look at the Vin # it will tell you. They are pretty rare, maybe even more than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty rare, maybe even more than mine. it doesn't have a center dif , 3.7 lsd, ground effects, or rear spoiler, by that logic my Loyale RS is an 'unbadged RX' it's a turbo GL, maybe unusual, but nothing exotic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I said still holds true. Maybe not with this one, but theres some out there. If you get the Vin # we would know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could attempt it, early enough in the morning they may be less likely to shoot at me if I park my similar looking car in plain sight - the note was gone off the windshield this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
