Is that a Cosmo motor? It doesn't look like a FD intake...


BTW show us the outside of the car

What kinda throttle body is on it then? is that just a custom one?

My friend & i switched to a FD upper intake & TB to get it to come out streight like that...


Second pic: is that what the car looks like now? Talk about a sleeper.. can you even keep the hub caps on

They usually point to the fire wall but we cut it off and modified it to the straight out position then had the lot polished. I have only just fitted 17 inch Simmons Rims but dont have any photos yet sorry. Hub caps fit fine. on13x5.5rims

you guys are a bunch of crazy nuts. My friend has an RX3 with a 6 port 13B in it, its sooo damn fast. I cant imagine how fast your RX3 is.

That car is sweet !

If that were mine, I'd go with a wider 13 inch wheel and keep the original hubcaps - ultimate sleeper!
