Prospeeder Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 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.

jeffast Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 what the heck i thought rx's were only availble in black and white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 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.

NoahDL88 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I was also unaware that they came in colors other than white and black, but either way, the red suits it, it looks real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quidam Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quidam Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospeeder Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 also wondering, is the plastic color RX specific also? thats almost black color? I REALLY need a new console that has the Dual range instructions thing, around the shifter, mine is all over the place, the clips are busted on it, and im getting REALLY pissed at it.

Quidam Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
