picked this up on sunday.Wife wasnt happy since it was valintines day.

had to make room for the 2 so i moved my repu to my mums ill get back to it oneday

lots to do heaps of cleaning waiting on parts to get here to get the car road worthty..never thought i would get a rx2 nor did i like them but it seems to be growing on me day by day..enough talk some pics.

 

wow that brings back some memories, I had a yellow 2 door when I was in high school, dual dizzys and all.

 

Awesome. Nice find!!!

 

bad ***

 

I see twin dizzy goodness.

 

i was wondering if i can swap the front cover to a 1stgen one? is it possible jeff?

 

Good question. I'm sure Jeff can answer it for ya.
Hey Chris, what are your plans for this sweet RX-2 "more door?"

 

my new putt around car to get grocerys/pick my daughter from the babby sitter etc..lol

nah my plan is to clean the car up replace anything neccesary for road use treat all the rusty area's and enjoy it before i go crazy and strip it down.

 

Here is a listing for some old rotary parts you might need:

Yes you can swap to a single dizzy front cover but will your stock main drive pulley be compatible? I don't know. You will need to plug one of the front cover bolt holes. Compare side by side and you'll see which one.

 

Nice Score, you make me really want one now

 

sounds like a pita jeff but see how it goes i may try it.i got a bucnh of spear ignition parts ill put in for the mean time.

will a rx7 5speed fit in jeff with the rx2 driveshaft ? any experice there?

 

Won't. Trannies are different lengths.

 

thats a sweet car. I want a really old school rotary next.

 

heres how i solved my problem. i ignored the stock wires and ran a wire from the yellow green wire on the leading dizzy to the negative on the coil then ran a wire from the positive on the coil to the 12v on the ballest resistor.
It worked and had great spark. i also had spear condensors and put those on to.the points apear to be brand new so i felt them alone

if i was to put a msd box on and 2gen coil can i get rid of the ballest resistor?



after many de flooding sessions it started ran funny for a bit but started running great.i let it run for 30min or so then went to tinker with timmin a bit then the carb pooped started pouring gas out on the hot header.... ohh no i had a fire extinguisher close by. i circled the flap that gas came out what is that for.its kinda stupid i could of had a crispy rx2




fuel pump.




heres the fpr and carb what is the electric box next to my fpr? it was hooked to the trailing coil.is it choke relay dosnt apear stock as the wires are exposed?

Way to go Chris. It sounds nice

 

thanks sounds like a motorcycle lol

 

The flap is a bowl vent. If fuel comes out of vent, the float sank, or debris is lodged in the needle, or to high of fuel pressure (holley 5-7 psi)

 

cool thanks im going with the needle being stuck.the petrol was probaly 2 years old.
