Caboobaroo Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Well I'm gonna post pics later tonight since I'm lazy but I can't contain myself anymore. LUVMYBRAT found this in a j/y here and so I went to look at it today and the guy said after getting me a title and all the paperwork, he said I could have it for 150 bucks!!! What do y'all think? Black 1989 RX turbo, FT4WD, 4EAT, gold trim, and AC. Yeah its an auto but who cares?? I can convert it but I mean 150 bucks and all it needs body wise is a couple small dings pulled out and a couple windows like the rear hatch glass, and the rear quarter windows. It will also need a new windshield but its not really bad, its still driveable. I checked the oil, radiator, front diff fluid and it all looks good. He said it might need a new motor but he wasn't sure. I also seen it needs a new AC pump as well but meh who cares, its a black RX!!!! I think its time for the:banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenTBK Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Kickass. Wish I could find something like that in the junkyards around here. Best find was an XT Turbo.. but theres no such thing as a "salvage" title here in Flarda. Cant wait to see pix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 Now the time you've all been waiting for!!!! PICS!!! http://usmb.net/gallery/album288 I know it needs some glass cause inconsiderate people think rocks and windows are fun for some reason but other then that and it missing some of the body kit, its not bad. Lemme know what y'all think of it....all I can say is WJM, look out cause we're gonna be rockin and rollin in this beast;) Oh and it has 209k on the ticker but meh!! Here's a list of upgrades and mods its going to have done to it once I get it running and driving for a little while: FT4WD D/R 5-speed with locking center diff Top mount intercooler TD04 turbo from a Rex custom up pipe and down pipe, catless of course, 2.5" from turbo back Delta cams carbed shortblock Spider intake XT6 Throttle body 5-lug conversion with a 3" drop and 16" Rex rims hood scoop custom black and red interior Autometer gauges (A.F., Boost, E.M.T.) Autometer tach w/shift light tinted windows custom cold air intake BOV and lots of other goodies as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Good luck finding that glass, I know its hard, I remember when me and Tex went glass hunting... finally found some on a DL or GL coupe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 Jason knows where there's a 3-door in a j/y but if anything I can have it replaced with new glass:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Wow, thats rough :-\ But its fixable with hard work and $. If it had the 5spd D/R w/DL, it would be just like mine Did you try and talk him down on the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 well I didn't feel I needed to since that was including the price to get it titled into my name. Its not as rough as it looks, the main thing it needs is the glass and it has a couple small dents but everything is fixable with lots of time and a little bit of money. No worries its going to be a bit of a project but it will be a daily driven car until I can collect parts to do the manual conversion to it. At least it has 4 wheels on it and it can possibly be started up but not sure..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subarutex Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Actually Caboobaroo, you'll have a lot of trouble replacing that with new glass. When some drunk through a beer bottle through mine I called all over. Multiple places told me that they could get one (1!!!) and that would have come southern cali. Best of luck to ya!

Snowman Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Dude, you're gonna be pimpin' that thing like no other! Yeah, kinda rough, but who cares? It's a soobie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Well, this will make you sick. If I had know you needed glass last week, I could have got it for you. The 3dr got hauled to the crusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailgatewagon Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 i bet if you take the 4eat out of it and take it to a j/y they will trade if for another 3dr. i looked for a long time for a 4eat and had no luck now im going with a dr 5speed (3.9) so i dont need one but i bet its worth somthing, they are an awsome trany for a slushy, mine wasnt even building bost yet at 80mph with cruse on..... in fact i would say in order to use cruse in that thing in 4th gear you would need to run 90 or so....

Caboobaroo Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 well I'm tryin to replace the auto with the FT4WD D/R 5-speed that came in the RX's cause thats what I want. I don't really want a part time 4wd tranny, I dunno why but the Ful Time seems to tickle my pickle:D stngllhm - if you could possibly hold onto that car until I know for sure that I can get this car, I'll let ya know and we can work something out:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngllhm Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 it ain't goin anywhere quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 so how much would you want for it? I need to get it pretty quick since its snowing here right now! Hrmmm..... the only thing that I would have to do is to figure out when/how I could get up there.... how far of a drive is it from Laramie?

Caboobaroo Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 on another note, I have the 150 bucks for the guy and on Monday I'm going to put 100 down so he can start getting title and the paperwork taken care of and then once he has it done, I'll give him the last 50 snd hopefully I can have it within the next couple weeks:D But I gotta hurry since its now currently snowing here and 1) don't have a car to get home in from work so I have to ride my road bike and 2) I don't want a lot of snow getting into the rear due to the busted windows:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximumBRAT Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Awesome score!! Snow in the rear isn't anything that can't be temporarily stopped with a tarp and some duct tape.. As for the snow, i'm 2 hrs away and i have no snow!!! it's supposed to tonight- get some pneumonia for those trick-or-treaters.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted November 4, 2004 Author Share Posted November 4, 2004 mwahahahaha I also found out that a few cars down the row, well more like 20, there's a complete XT6 also. So I'm going to see if the guy will take 100 bucks for everything to do a 5-lug conversion on it as well. Thats a far cry from Hondasuck's 250 for HIS 5-lug conversion.....w00t!!! Now I just need the guy from the yard to call me and tell me where I want it delivered:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
