Very nice! Always wanted one of these, beautiful cars. Running costs always put me off and they're hard to come by now.

Owned a couple of these.
Been lucky with both of mine and not had any major issues.
One was pretty standard other was running over 500.
Lovely cars to drive but will bite you. 10 mpg isn't great either

Nice cars, and was lucky with the one in my ownership as well, running non sequential turbo mod and apexi, and circa 350-400bhp and was certainly quick. Sounds glorious on full song, very low, and larger than you think, MPG diabolical, engine reliability Ok if serviced and mapped right but always owned mine with 3K in reserve for a engine build.

Enjoy. Hope it don't let you down.

This was mine

Yeh,there beasts.this has had a full rebuild already . ,was never a car I realy wanted tbh.robevo 5 ,I think I have a similar engine set up to ur old one by the looks of it.
I don't think I will be taking it out in the wet tho.as the thing wants to light up in 3rd gear @ full boost..and that's in the dry with good treads all round.😨
Still prefer my scoob tho.think the rx is better suited to a track or hill climb tbh.

That looks lovely, I've always wanted one of these, and nearly pushed the button on a Bathurst limited edition many moons ago, but as others have said running costs have put me off. I bet it's lovely to drive!
Bring it to a meet!

Raced one at Santa Pod twice when I took my Subaru down the strip. The Rex was running 500bhp (according to the owner). He couldn't drag/launch it for shiz but once he got it moving, it came past me when I was flat out like I wasn't moving! Didn't like the racket it made though, far too noisy.
