Caboobaroo

Well you know that my day off was today until next Sunday so I might be able to come down and help depending on stuff coming up next month (like my sister's wedding, somehow I'm part of helping the planning:rolleyes: ) but here's what I did on mine. I used the stock XT intake harness but mine was from a NA motor, so it didn't have the knock sensor in it. I removed the knock sensor from the old harness along with the plastic portion of the plug I needed, then I basically wired it all back up. Whats weird though is I can't for the life of me remember what I did about the TPS though.... time to get out the FSM I guess:rolleyes:

Mine did that a couple weeks ago too. Dash hit 200k along with the tranny since they came from the same car. Everything else though... well engine crossmember and rear suspension/trailing arms and such, 220k, engine has about 170k, and then the misc 5-lug pieces which I don't have a clue:rolleyes:

its ok I'm not even going to be able to make it unless I coem up with extra money before then. My rent is going up about $300 a month, I still don't know if I've got Saturday off from work for the show yet and I'm working on moving again, back to Oregon:rolleyes:

I decided to go with a modified a-pillar pod from a WRX in mine. Just got it installed so no pics of it in the car currently but I do have a couple pics of it in my last RX.

I'm looking into it as well since my MC is leaking and my rear brakes aren't working as good as they should. Unfortunatly for me, I have a 4 port MC instead of 3 since my car never came with a hill holder due to it originally being an automatic. So maybe I'll look them up in the computer at work and call around to a few places since I need one bad:-\

all of those happen to be a real stiff truck shock. Out of all of them though, I'd go with the gas-a-just shocks since they are a little more friendly for that small of a car. The Monomax's are heavy duty truck shocks, I sell them and the KYBs at work.

Well this is what I'm going to try to accomplish. Since I need to basically build a 3 piece tranny crossmember for the EJ 5-speed, and I can use the pieces from my RX tranny and a EJ tranny, the rear piece is the one I need to figure out. I know the 3AT and the 4EAT trannys use a crossmember where the rear piece would bolt onto the body so I'm wondering if its possible to modify one for my application.

yup since I'm piecing together parts for my EJ swap and need to figure out something for the tranny crossmember:-\

just what you need, another POS sitting around;)

If someone has one they can take a pic of out of the car that would be awesome.

The sideskirts on Dan's old RX are factory sideskirts that came on all the RX's, sedans or coupe. Well almost all of them.

Search for Crawlerdan on here. He had a RX sedan a few months ago that was pretty sweet.

I'm thinking the car has been repainted before, at least on the driver side fender. If you look close enough, the stripe kit on the bottom is missing only on that panel.

Along with Suberdave and Tex, I'm up there as well. I just don't have a turbo motor yet:rolleyes: http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2010840970067339125ZmIQby

Looks good but now it needs to be lower:-p

I'm gonna guess a rally cross. I think James made a mention to me that he was going to miss one while he was down in the Carribean...

Congrats man!

Finished helping your uncle out today. Had to get a remand caliper for it since I realized the 14" calipers are physically different then the 13" calipers. Went over, did the work and the car stops real nice now. Ed, I'll be at work tomorrow but we could see if we can get together at your place on Sunday for the install since that would work best for me.

I have access to a lot of different shocks and bushings at my job so I can see what I can dig up for you. Dimensions of the bushings would be great so I can get some for you. All you'd need to do is pay for shipping and whatever the cost is for the part that I get it for;)

Always a pleasure Zap, I'm there when help is needed usually. The drive seemed to take forever last night but I finally got home and got some well needed sleep. Was truely fun!

LOL this thread has become epic! I was there over Memorial Day weekend. They were EVERYWHERE:eek: And the catch and release program is the best in my book;)

Chelan!?!?! Chasin all the hotties down there:lol:

loyale2.7 - those bars you're refering to are known as caster rods or strut rods, or radius rods. They have a few different names but for now, we'll call them the caster rods. Anyways, when these bent, they bent and its very noticiable but this won't affect camber hardly at all. I'm still going to shoot and say its the knuckle that has to be replaced if the strut isn't bent. The same design that the EA82s have (strut to knuckle design) is also the same design on a lot of cars like Ford Taurus's, Windstars and so on. They also have a problem where the knuckle will bent where the strut slides into it and can't be seen until its compared with a new one. So see if you can find yourself another knuckle to compare them to see if it is in fact bent.

sorry dude, youre about a year too late. I lived out there for a couple years and moved back to the PNW. Most of the guys live in Denver with maybe 3 in Wyoming in general.

I'll be heading down Friday evening since I have to work on Friday. Hopefully they decide to give me Saturday off but if not I'll be:mad: Oh and I might have 2 cars there this year:-p
