Anyone want to trade an rx3 for my motorcycle?

I want an rx3 to make into a drag car, so it doesn't have to be pretty. It doesn't have to have an engine, but it would be nice so I can make a little money selling parts. And if you pay for the shipping, I will throw in a non rusted 86 GXL body. Shipping shouldn't be more than $600. I want to go the Aussie way and back halve it. Anyone who is interested, let me know, I will send you pictures of my bike via e-mail. Thanks. Oh, and I live in WI.

I'm assuming your talking about the GSXR 1100 in your sig? What year is it? What shape is it in?
I may have access to an RX-3. Not for sure yet.

I know of a full tubeframe RX-3 that someone is trying to sell, set up for road racing though.

Wow.

I'd trade one of my mountain bikes for an RX-3. Partial trade of course, unless it's a really nice '3.

I've never seen one locally except for ONE, a trailer queen drag racer.

I'm told that there's at least one RX-3 in the near west side of Cleveland, a white one. I do know that the other night I saw a Cosmo of all things (CD chassis, aka RX-5) which really had me shocked.

ya spied a Cosmo eh? Now that would be shocking. My first car was a 76 Cosmo! Ask my why I have a 1st Gen RX-7 today. Other than my own Cos, I've only ever seen one other!

Anyone have a Cosmo (aka RX-5) for sale? hehe yeah right!!!!

Papasmurf, send me a pic of that bike please.
mv23_99@yahoo.com


In my area I know of; one guy that has 2 rx-3's(one is a scca road race car), a guy that has an rx-2(he's on this forum), a guy that has a REPU, a guy that has a rx-3 and a 78(?) cosmo, another with an RX-3 and a Turbo 1st gen, and a guy with a rx-3 drag car.

I've heard of a few more running around but those are the ones that I know for sure.

All but one of those people have at least one RX-7 as well.

RX-3's!!! BAH!!! I saw a lambourghini Diablo last night, last year's model i believe, but never in my life have i ever saw a Cosmo or an RX-3. Hell, RX-7s are a rare find. I saw a first gen yesterday though, kinda rough shape, bra on the front marroon in colour. Guy kinda looked at me weirdly when i waved...so did my friend.
Dumb rx-7 owners.

Yes and I am on the lookout for an RX-3! So if this doesnt work out, then tell me about the RX-3 you know about next time you are at Syms Mike!

I was talking about your RX-2. I didn't know that you had a vert too. I guess everyone I was talking about has an Rx-7 as well as the cars I mentioned. Thats cool.

I Know a guy selling his ITA rx-3. Full race preped with a spare car and spare parts. If your interested let me know.
I want an RX-3 myself but I already have 2 project cars.

I'm looking at a different one as well. If I don't get it I'll let you know.

Later,
Mike

Here is one pic of the bike

http://home.houston.rr.com/pulse/forum/bike.JPG

This is the bike. I have the K&N air cleaners off for cleaning. It is a 90, but it looks good, and goes better. May not be a brand new bike, but it is a good one for a first one.(Thats if you want something bigger than a 600)
