RB25SX Experience

bbma32517 Oct 2013, 15:33

Im still in the process of buying another car and a certain RBSX is messing with my mind...so to get some assurance i thought i'd post here for some general opinions

What is it like owning an RBSX?
Is it worth while as a weekend street toy?
Ave consumption mixed driving?(not really a biggie)

anyone willing to share their experiences of owning a RB powered S Body? Ireally want it to be better than the scoob i owned 😳

My personal opinion:

Think about it, 80% of the guys that swopped an RB into an S13 sold it after a short period, most guys that bought an S13 with an RB in sold it not long after.

Is it a great toy to screw around with, I guess but I think the idea is bigger than the experience.

PS. my dream was always to put a VG30ET into the S13, would sound great, will spin the shit out of the road....but the idea of all that is bigger than what it will be.

I do believe a 'properly' sorted / no shortcuts RB-SX would be a UBER weekend toy. But therein lies the problem.

thanks for sharing guys...I allocated a small R30-R40k budget to buy a used car or fix my e30(engineless) when I saw the car in question and quickly convinced myself that I can spend a bit more just to get this car. Now, however, ive read the "why" thread and have a bit of doubt(which is good imo) I was way too impulsive and wouldve mindlessly just bought it 😳

R30-40k??

Not to burst your bubble but you will not be able buy even a half decent SX for that kind of money, regardless of its motor.

Maybe I wasnt clear enough :facepalm: ...The RBSX is in the for sale section and is more than R30-40k...I was prepared to increase my allocated little budget to buy this car...
