Subarutex Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Awhile back I participated in the Global Import Car Show in Tacoma, WA. While I didn't place, all 3 subaru awards went to my buddies (2 STi's, 1 WRX). Syphon (Jay), Danbob99 (Dan) and I decided to leave the Tacoma Dome in search of food. What we saw initially excited us. Then we looked behind it... At this point, we're feeling pretty bad. Not sure what kind of person would do this. We were even more appalled by what we saw on the inside. The "kid" saw us poking around his car and approached us. Apparently he bought it with the tranny swap. He added the wing. And he wouldn't sell the ground effects kit to Dan for $100. He did offer the car to us for $2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Was he wondering why you were laughing? Edit...I just noticed the lic plate. It should read UREA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 What kind of autotranny is in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Looks like a FT4WD (4EAT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Based on the quality of the rest of the work, I would bet its a FWD 3AT But then again.. weren't there a few 89s that came with an AT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Yes, it could be a FT4eat. We didn't ask the year. Given that all the panels matched interior wise, it could be stock. I am still of the mind that RX are manuals, and thats that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singletrack Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 thats just wrong, that car(and every one like it) makes god cry I don't believe in "god", but for now I'll agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Only thing that looks bad to me is that worthless wing. Interior looks fine; nothing I would do but what's so bad about it? That looks like a 4EAT shifter to me; dunno if its FT4WD or just the 2WD 4spd but who cares? A tranny swap is pretty custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowmastered87GL Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hard to tell what it says on the tranny, looks like PRND32 almost... but where is 1? I forget what it says on the 4 speeds, there IS a 2nd gear hold button or something right? I think both inside and out its ugly... poor RX needs a 5 speed again all that tacky stuff from autozone removed. I bet my 87 GL is faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailgatewagon Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 there is an rx on the car lot here in town that is stock and has a 4speed 4eat trany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 As you said, it's just a kid, and you've got to start somewhere. All he needs is some education. At least it's not a Honda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 At least it's not a Honda. He has SOME taste then! So you told him about the USMB right??? We'll edumacate him good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84Scoobaroo Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Saw that poor vehicle in traffic today on South Meridian street in Puyallup/South Hill. Got excited when I saw RX, but then when i looked back i saw the hideous wing. Sigh, then again, gotta start somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danbob99 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 the car was ugly, the kid, though he may have been slightly older than me :-p , wasn't the nicest seeming of guys, he's one that belongs in an automatic honda. Still can't believe he woulnd't sell me his body kit, think i offered 150 for it, wouldn't take it! He's asking 2K for it! Good luck!

JWX Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 if it was rust/accident free and I had the money, I'd give him 2 grand for it. auto tranny and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danbob99 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 another angle of the horror.... Well, the rest of the show went great....here are a couple pics.... It was a great show, great reactions to the two subaru's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
