Rx3 project
 

I turned it over today with no igntion yet, just trying to prime the oil into
the engine . I am down to 3 wires on the wiring hope to start the engine up
before this thursday..

Nice work rene but it looks better in person all that detail and work that you are doing is worth the money the owner of the car is getting his money worth ...

That is going to be WICKED!

Great job. Can not wait to see more pictures.

Awesome :icon_tup:

I am very impressed. A sleeper like this cracks me up because it is sooo undercover.

ITS ALIVE!!!! Man that sound was the best when it started right up.

I turned the key and it started like a champ.I let it run for 20 min and

no problems,no leaks or oil leaks like the mazdas do all the time just

a great moment of enjoing the sound.I cheated a little,couldn't wait

so i started the motor with no exhaust system just a big 4" down pipe. :Kill1:

I Reved the motor a couple times and whoaaa that tune was just on the

money.


I held on the pictures till the last moment, didn't want to spoil the last few

details to everyone.I will post up the new picture tomorrow WED 31, I will

test drive the Rx3 in the next few days until the weather settles a bit.

Videos will be posted soon, trying to upgrade my computer to download vidoes.

Sweeet! Congrats Rene. Can't wait for the pics and vid.

So is this one a keeper, or will it be for sale?

Speaking of the devil. Jerry and I were just talking about putting miles on that new motor. So I will be breaking it in. I may drive it to Guitarjunkie's funeral on Saturday...thats about a lil over 100 miles round trip between LA and IE. :)

Me and Jerry(car owner) took the Rx3 for a spin today ,and you know :lach:

we had a big smiles all the way.We drove a bit without the hood on for a couple

of blocks on street , when we pulled up to the gas station we had people just

coming up and taking a good look at what the hell is that nice chrome stuff.

We filled it up and took it into the freeway,I of course had to be the first to

drive,couldn't let jerry drive it till it was safe.I meant safe from being throttle

happy,you know, you can't just unleash the power to someone who has been

itching to feel the awsome power of the 20B.He was just saying "damn that

sound is so different".I also told jerry he has to take it easy from now on

the Rx3 felt really nice and crisp on the freeway . Thanks to the awsome tuner

you know (Rene JR):naughty: got it all right in the first try.



Hope you people like it, i can do the same work (for all rotaries) If anyone is

interested(It has to be by appointment,for this work,I do one car at a

time to keep myself focused :uhh: .More info of my shop PM me>

Good Work Rene!!

What did it cost Rene? Out the door exspense...

Great job Rene, yeah jerry called me when you guys was driving around. Cant wait to see the car this week end and take it out for a spin, I'm sure its wilder than it looks.

what sort of power are you expecting? i am still debating tubos...

estimated hp 800+,


Hey Wacky.....

Sinces you got Jerrys other 3 , I got dibs on his RX2.

Hmmmm.. not a bad idea. I will take the white 76 RX-3SP so I can have 3 RX-3's. :)

I'm gonna have to grace my presents @ Wack's house this weekend to drive this car.

- Hey Wacky how far RU from Jerry's??

Wackys not to far. I'm by his second best place besides the junk yard.. THE CASINO"S..
