nice car.. what kind of muffler is that?
|
its a rps "dumpy" style muffler -is a good look for the old skool rotarys
|
Very nice, how hard was it to get that dash in?
|
um yeah was very hard definatly not made to go in but i wanted sumthing new so out came jigsaw and alot of measuring haha -plus didnt help i had the roll cage in it aswell
|
i love the interior change. i love that muffler as well. do you have a website where i can get more info on the muffler?
also, why did you build boxes for your 6x9 speakers? im hoping to finish installing mine this weekend. i trimmed the rear metal a little and a buddy and i are making spacers and cutting the interior panels tomorrow. should work/look good. |
|
$195 is a decent price. i wonder if this will stand up to the rotary heat. im trying to help a friend with an MSP design an exhaust. i need to show him this muffler
|
Wow, that is a nice looking car. That purple is really glossy. Has a nice wet look to it. Love the motor. Excellent work, have any more pictures?
|
Those look like 15 x 7 wheels. What kind of tire size do you have?
Thanks. That RX is pretty mean looking. Nice job. |
Looks great. Now you need a set of my lights to finish things off ;)

Looks good. That muffle risn't compared to the RB one. I bet it flows way better too.
|

|
shoot looks like the FD dash fits better than the FC dash I put in mine :icon_tup: maybe I should of tied putting an fd front subframe in my car vice the fc.........

It looks like you've been spending a lot of time on the car. Are you going to be keeping the top mount intercooler, or just go with a front mount?
Its definitely a hot car, and though the color isn't something I would have chosen myself, it is a good color as well. Looks, from the pictures, to be a well done car with a bit of work left on the interior (with the wires out and about, along with the emergency brake lever missing.) |
what type of wheels are those??? like the car over all... esp. the swaped motor..
|
yay another kiwi
g'day mate nice lookin gem u got there its outstanding where bouts in aucks u live i might be goin back in march would love to see the car.... oh and in nz shit aint cheap lol |
loos very nice.
|
:beerchug: Awesome job mate ! keep us posted with updates.
|
I'm sorry but that muffler is hideous. You would have been way better off with a racing beat FD muffler if that's possible.

Dump tips on rotors are mandatory BTW. :D |

Could you possibly post up some pics of your seat mounts for the FD seats? I need a good iea on how to bracket my FD seats into my FC. I have GSL-SE seats in my FC right now, yeah i know silly, but they're direct bolt-in between FB and FC, therefore, however you mounted the seats will also work for me.

HOT car dude!!! Love it 100%. Pretty cool how NZ has its own completly different style to the rest of the workd when doing up rotaries. Ill catch u at the nats :) |
No shit?!?! I missed that thought it was an auzzie site for some reason...
Well that makes the whinning even more dumb... 195.00 NZD = 134.404 USD |
Amazing how you got the dash there
btw, you dont happen to have the side moldings you remove right? |
Wow! Pretty nice work there on the car mate! If anyone can get parts easy from Aus i highly reccomend rotaflow exhausts, made just for rotarys :)

hey cheers for the comments-to answer some questions -the paint altough it has grown on me was a chosen by the previous owner-the hole on the door by the window is actually the handle the locks will be on remote-the wheels are avanti 16" (205's i think of top of my head are just temporary wheels i want to get some wheels with dot slicks for racing -as for the 6x9 boxes they were from my last car a worked eb civic and just put them in as they are removeable (as pretty as it is ,it is still a race car and wieght matters haha-and old skool rotarys look heaps better with the dumpy and the rps one's are able to handle the rotarys heat-and for u u.s guys the exchange rates in ur favour isnt it lol
|
and as for interior not being mint, i said the car was nearly done haha-my mate hasnt got to finishing the haltech wiring
|
are you sure the RPS can withstand the rotary heat? that one mentioned above, rotaflow, is right at $400 USD. can you get a soundclip or movie of your exhaust?
|
this is when i got the car in a very sad state not motor,interior,wheels that matched-missing parts everywhere-no glass-looking back really wondor why i bought it!

Wow. Now that is progress. That is absolutely astounding the depth from which you brought that car back from. You did an amazing job on that.
|
haha cud get a sound clip but considering the haltech isnt wiried up will be pretty quiet-and yeah the guy how did my exhaust is a rotary fiend owning 2 r100's a rx3 coupe,sedan and wagon aswell as 3 battys-and works building exhausts, so may have little bit of idea about rotary exhausts
|
thanks dude-as u can see it was a bit crap-but i didnt feel to bad modifying it ,instead of destroying a mint origanal-

yeah go the dumpy tips ,they look heaps better
|
That's a nice car and a great restoration job. And I usually prefer the stock look! But I think you've got a nice aesthetic there, and it's appropriate for a race car.

Wow, the Before and After pictures are outstanding! I love seeing a neglected car turned into a work of art. Nicely done there! :icon_tup: And, I love that dumpy tip. Now I want one! *L* Plus, it sounds fun calling it a "dumpy" :rlaugh:
|
I had a dumpy when i only had 1 muffler... it was TOO LOUD!
|
i love the aussie/nz rotarys i used to get fast fours and rotarys but i cant find it anymore thats the reason i got into to rxs is casue of that mag and the sick cars that are in it
|
GOD!
someone needs to get a hold on this guy! I would love an update on this car |
