And I be going to lakeland most of the time to check out the ride,,the bradenton track is more muscle cars some events are good but lakeland works for me ,,is more like a rican place not like bradenton you know,.

well more is turbo II with a 600 holley and racing seals, port en alta Y baja,, engine was set up for nitrous ,, ran pretty good. but once done with body work and is is good im going turbo ..but lo malo es que el turbo le quita el sonido bello que tiene los rotors.

I hear you, bro. I would say to paint it the color that makes you happy and the heck with anyones opinion! Different is always good! People always remember the different ones because they visually stand out the most.

Suerte con ese mostro!

primo leave it candy apple, put a set of black wheels with the lip on red, 17x7 up front and since you have a 9" for the rear stick a set of 18"x9" or 10" if possible with low profile tires, and then let me know.......................

Nice ride. Any wheel larger than 16" looks like crap on old school cars IMO.

Man I almost pissed myself today. My friend texed me the other day telling me he found a front windshield for my rx2 4-door, which is impossible to find, at a junkyard for 50 bucks. So I called them and they told me that they just crushed the car!!!!!!!!!!! Idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOB!!!! ****........ Man im almost ready to order one from Australia, these things are difficult to find here.. My rx3 is turning out pretty sweet, I just got all the panels back from the Media blaster place. Let me tell you something, never believe someone with they say "its clean" or "it has no bondo" or "never been hit".. I bought some fenders that looked very "clean" but after we got done striping them, then I realized how fucked they were.. They are not warped, they are just rusted and dented in a few spots but the guy said they're fixable..
