Subaru RX Parts And Accessories

The Subaru RX, produced between 1986 and 1989, is a legendary "rally-spec" version of the third-generation Leone that served as the spiritual ancestor to the iconic WRX. Born from Subaru's desire to dominate the world of motorsport, the RX was specifically made to meet homologation requirements for Group A rallying.

Subaru RX: Racing-Inspired Engineering for Pure Adrenaline on the Road

At its heart was the 1.8-liter EA-82T turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a 16-valve SOHC masterpiece that produced 115 horsepower and 134 lb-ft of torque. While these figures may seem modest today, the RX’s lightweight chassis and sophisticated drivetrain made it a giant-killer on loose surfaces. The powertrain was mated exclusively to a close-ratio 5-speed manual transmission featuring a specialized "dual-range" high and low gear selector.

The RX was the first Subaru to ever feature a standard full-time AWD system combined with a turbocharger, setting the blueprint for every performance model that followed. The cargo capacity remained functional for its class, though the addition of rear differential cooling and reinforced chassis rails took priority over pure volume.
