rub a dub scoobie nub
 

Hey all, just come off my P plates and picked up a 96 RX with some kind of straight thru exhaust(previous owner had no documents and didnt speak english well) for 9500.

128,000km and its very tidy for a 10 yr old car.
Fucking lovely to drive im hooked allready.

Plan on putting on some 17 or 18 inch rims, a small scoop would look cool and would really love to hear some suggestions on some mods to give her some grunt.
Would love some input as to the most practicle and cost effective mods for a non turbo car...or input on the best road to take to turbo it :)

welcome dude

can't do much with NA car, just wouldn't add too much difference.
i think easiest way is to change to a turbo engine. or just buy a wrx or sti later.

half cut and suspension, dirt cheap nowadays for a 96 (version 3)

:hello2: welcome

mmm half cut? haha enlighten me

a half cut is a car cut in half. you get the front half of a wrx or sti, it comes with wiring, engine ect... take it all out and put it in your automoblie.

hahaha cool thanks for the replys to the nub questions.
So without an engine swap im stuck with the donk.

I thought having a turbo fitted might not be such a huge deal seeing as there is a sticker under the hood readining "Engine tune specifications" and lists different numbers for turbo and non turbo.

So some RXs must have come with completly different engines to handle the turbo?

no.

you swap the lot unless your willing to re-engineer the car from scratch.
