So this is my RS Wagon - Aust delivered, resprayed about 12 months ago.

By means of introduction, albeit a bit ass about, have been into subes for 15-odd years. Mostly L-Series, Brumbys etc. Bought the RS after my L-Series EA82T conversion (Geach's ex-car) was written off once stolen by smacktards.

Loved the EA82T, would punch you back into the seat...but didn't steer, brake or corner at all well. A bit agricultural, but I loved it...knew every inch of it. Great off road.

The RS in stark comparison is far more refined, and a pleasure to drive - clearly a different vehicle, design and purpose.

Short term needs (in order): (1) new clutch (2) tyres (3) rear wing (just want one!)

Longer term: brakes, suspension, ^HP

As you can see, is stock as, aside from the rear muffler section. And some ICE & security.

Looking fwd to SA events, and the Mt Alma hill climb in April. Need to start the new obession somewhere!

Also into classic motor-X (Yamaha DT250 & DT360) in my 'spare' time!

That looks wicked - those std wheels actually suit that colour. Pity they are not 16 or 17".

Just needs some nice dark tint and an STi lip spolier to set it off.

Welcome aboard Sven!

That's a fricken sweet RS you have there!

And I remember your L series from Geach/AUSubaru days. Was also a tidy ride.


As they say.... onto bigger and better things!


Enjoy the forums!
