Parting out my 1986 L RX Turbo .
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 8:16 am
The path is drawn and Ellie is becoming a parts request concern .
I'm putting together a list of bits and am open to requests provided you don't live at the North Pole . Would prefer Sydney NSW/ACT buyers .
Must stay as a rolling shell for a little while so cant remove rear discs till I can find a pair of drums to hang wheels off .
The easy or removed bits so far .
Twin core radiator asking $300
One off 24mm and 22mm anti roll bars plus bushes brackets $100 ea .
Absolutely transform road handling .
Original 86 EA82T with near new belt and tensioners suit rebuild $100 .
Original 86 RX L DR Gearbox $200 . Littlle bit runchy into 2st when cold but warm ok .
Cat back exhaust , 3"cat into 2 1/2 system that works and IS quiet $100 .
Complete Turbo Vortex Spider inlet manifold assembly with injectors FPR rails etc . The top section has been flange adapted to take the early 85/86 TB/TPS so ideal to convert a flap AFM car . Also have the rare EGR pipe and TB to turbo outlet duct .
Also have another top section with a complete Spider Vortex backwards TB and TPS .
Asking $340 .
Coxy wants the custom rebuildable tailshaft so please don't ask .
Have a spare pair of the early orange front L blinkers , any reasonable offer .
Getting rid of this rolling shell is a drama so anyone that turned up with a trailer/float can have it for a token fee . Would solve a lot of problems for me .
The slightly more difficult things to remove are the headless engine and the gearbox .
Gearbox is a Hybrid Vortex AWD one with I think early gen Lib gearset and the L low low range gears . It has custom altered steady bar and gear selector rod . I have new nylon bushes for it too .
Has the exhaust mount too - basically all the fiddly stuff sorted out .
Engine was rebuilt properly and had new rings and late EFI NA cams in the heads . The heads were ported though one is cracked between the valve seats . All the usual belts tensioners bearing new water pump good oil pump etc . SUIC glued up my valves killing compression but these have been cleaned out and are available for inspection . I have a set of good HLAs that never tapped/rattled too .
You can make an offer on this engine if interested once the main section is out on the floor .
I have not worked out a price for the gearbox yet but I know they are in short supply and sought after - particularly with all the stuff that makes it a bolt in kit including the solenoids and their bracket , in a 4WD L Series anyway .
AWD makes a huge difference to a normally FrWD L and they should have all been this way from new .
I am a short way into working ten days straight so I won't have a lot of time each day to spend removing things just yet .
I can't have this car taking up a garrage forever and while its sad to have to do this it comes down to economics . I would have sold it complete as a running concern but the SUIC affair screwed me over , such is life .
I doubt anyones going to offer me $2000 to cart away every Subaru bit I own so it has to be bit by bit .
More as it unfolds , cheers A .
