rx-2/rx-3?

ok, if I found a rx-2 or rx-3 with no engine or tranny, how much do you think it would cost me to put a 13b-rew in it? renesis? if I did all the work myself, how much?

I want to be diffrent from all the guys who are being diffrent from all the guys who are being diffrent, and a vintage (diffrent) rotary (diffrent-er) is just the way to do it.

and, rx-2/3's are SO FRIKKEN COOL!

RX-2s are longer and a little heavier than RX-3s.

RX-3 is the ****.. RX-2s are ok..

It is pretty common droping in a turbo 13B into a RX-3.. it will cost you about ~$7,000+ if you want ~400RWHP and have supporting hardware

And the $7K is if you do almost everything yourself.


Haltech E6K ~1K
Motor ~2K used
Single turbo ~2K
TII tranny ~500
GSL-SE oilpan/front cover ~200
NPR intercooler ~200
custom driveshaft ~500
narrowed Ford 9" ~600
Fuel system ~500-1000
radiator ~300
new wheels ~1000

i would have to disagree with some of your numbers.
where are you getting a 9" rear cut down w/ gears and axles for $600? please let me in on this one...

i have a rx2 for sale if anyone is interested. also may be selling a r100. but not sure yet. rx2 is definatly FS.
