My 1986 RX


Recommended Posts

Well i finally got around to taking some pictures. Heres my RX iv been asking questions about and fixing. Looks pretty good for 260 thousdand miles! Rebuilt motor with 30k on it, new CV joints, New rear driveline, power everything works. I got it for 100$ because it needed timing belts, but it turned out it needed more. It does have rust, but nothing super serious yet. So far im really liking as far as driving.

what the heck i thought rx's were only availble in black and white?

 

shows what you know Jeff:-p

 

The RX coupes (not the sedans) only came in black and white. The RX sedans however, in '85 and '86 could come in a wide variety of colors. I believe the RX sedans after '87.5 were all white but I could be mistaken.

Hey Prospeeder,

 

Good looking RX you have there. I read the "Weird smell" thread today and you obviously now have first hand experience in what 260,000 miles really means.

 

Want to sell it? I could be "some sucker to buy it" that you were referring to. lol

 

Sincerely

 

Doug

Very nice shape. Congratulations--you stole it.

 

As for those seats, no. They also came in '85-6 GL-10s and '85 Turbo Traction sedans and wagons. The vinyl side bolsters and upholstery are unique to the RXes in '85/6 though (unless that's what you were asking). Some also came with the "checkerboard" style seats

 

Take care, drive safely, and she'll run another quarter million for you.

i like the 86 rx's, mine is twilight blue metalic. mine is also heavily "played with"

 

About a year back i ran across a blue one in Ky. They wanted $1500.00 and I didn't have the cash. It drove to Colorado the next day, damn. Nice car too.

HTH. I have that black in a '86 wagon, so I wouldn't think it's RX specific.

 

At this point you can just remove the upper shift boot and console so it won't be flopping around crazy like. It is annoying when that happens.

 

Why does that happen? When mine have done it, it means that the shifter bushings are worn out.:rolleyes:
