Sharing to make sure they get saved out there in world somewhere..

I think i'd give my left nut to tinker with the "sport ecu" , part # 22611AA580

 

This also shows the details of converting to/adjusting solid lifters, but those parts are not avail anymore.

I thought so too.

 

Just the idea of taking buying a stock rx, the rally kit, a basic cage. And you get:

 

 

There were several Rally spec RX's created in the USA, running the old SCCA pro rally series. I've been trying to find one of the old Chad DiMarco cars but they are beat to spoob and put up wet.

 

Obligatory Wikipedia quote:

Subaru Rally Team Japan led by Noriyuki Koseki (founder of Subaru Tecnica International STI) ran Subaru Leone coupé, sedan DL and RX Turbo in the World Rally Championship between 1980 and 1989 a few rallies per season.[7] Drivers for individual rallies included Ari Vatanen, Per Eklund, Shekhar Mehta, Mike Kirkland,Possum Bourne, Harald Demut and Chilean driver Jose Antonio Celsi. Mike Kirkland finished 6th overall and won the A Group at the 1986 Safari Rally. That year Subaru was one of the only manufacturers combining 4WD and turbo.[8] Jose Antonio Celsi finished eight in the 1986 Marlboro Rally Argentina and fifth in the 1988 Marlboro Rally Argentina. During 1989 Subaru entry two works RX Turbo for Jose Antonio Celsi and Possum Bourne. Celsi finished fourth, but retired on the final road section and Bourne retired during the first stage. Subaru changed the rally model to Legacy RS for the 1990-1992 period and took part in the first complete season in the World Rally Championship with the same model in 1993.

Those must have been some depressing years for drivers tho, after the demise of group B.

 

Can you imagine Ari Vatanen was in the group B pug 205 then his next stage rally ride after his accident was a Subaru RX? At least he had some spare wheels, right lol!
