Free Range Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Yup, '89 RX, 120K, everything works, took off the body kit before the extreme rally test (anybody want to buy a complete body kit?), passed with some coolant and oil leeks and some fresh underbody body damage... once I pull the tranny and diff you can have it for cheep. ac works good. cd player, Gen III turbo heads, good turbo, dual core radiator...

kayakertom Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Why not offer a trade for the parts that you want and save some labor and time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Range Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Eh its just a toy, when it breaks it will get parted, unless somebody really wants it sans diff and trans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakertom Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Eh its just a toy, when it breaks it will get parted, unless somebody really wants it sans diff and trans... You have a running turbo '89 RX, but want to pull the trans and differential to put into another vehicle? What trans does it have - d/r or 4eat? 3.7 or 3.9? What vehicle are they going into?

torxxx Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 it should have a fulltime 4wd 5 speed D/R in it. I dont think Rx's came with autos. At least the ones I've looked at in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 The car has a Dual Range AWD Gearbox with locking center diff. ALso, the rear has a limited slip 3.9 That tranny and diff combo was only offered in the RX. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 '89 rx should be 5spd d/r ft4wd 3.7 could be auto how's the body, rust?? does it have HEAT???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Range Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 yup runs & drives like a raped ape, flies through the air pretty good too. D/R AWD 3.70 center diff lock, rear LSD, all the goodness of 10 forward gears. don't get me wrong the rx 3 door is a cool car, had one all rallied out, wrx IC and 3" straight pipe, full roll cage, tons of fun, but I've had it with the ea82T they are too much work too often, I I'll stay with my ej22's and ea81's thank you.

Free Range Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 yup car has great heat, it's waay below zero here currently, rust, well a litle surface rust, if I wanted a 3 door this would get done up right trans and diff are going into my '91 legacy. first one on the block.

subiemech85 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I WANT YOUR BODY!! Free Range" Eh its just a toy, when it breaks it will get parted, unless somebody really wants it sans diff and trans..." shall we make a deal? /begin hijack/ when the ambient temp was +4f, the "heater" sent out +4f air good thing I had my harbor freight 12v "heater" to warm one had at a time this was the last chance, from now on it's my '81 diesel wabbit pickup /end hijack/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 not too shabby. At least it runs compared to when I first got my '89 and mine was also a 4EAT automatic. '89 was the only year you could get an automatic in an RX but it was the 4EAT, not the 3AT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[HTi]Johnson Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Yeah I have an 89 RX with 4at. It's great. I'm impressed with the Auto tranny. I had a 3at in my ea81...that was crap. But this tranny is nice. But I would like the FTAWD 5spd with center diff lock. That's a good car...too bad you don't like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadow Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Wow if it wasn't so trashed I would have given you a RX trans+diff plus a good chunk of change for it. I'm sure someone will pick it up if the rust isn't too bad though. Have fun with the swap, it is a nice drivetrain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
