Check out those sagging rear leaf springs ..... I think right after this picture was taken I bought a "Spring Assist" kit that propped them up and a single white vinyl racing stripe I ran front to back on the drivers side .... right down the middle of the steering wheel

Supertramp " Crime of the Century " is probably playing in the picture through a Pioneer 12 watt stereo , complete with Dolby

I miss that big needle speedo . I can't remember what it went up to ?

Understandable mistake. The car will weigh the same as a stock FD. Novas start out as a pretty lightweight car, and this one has been lightened considerably from that.

Dude, I still can't get over this. I would love to drive my ls1 rx7 to go see that. The look on peoples faces when they hear the brap coming from your exhaust and the roar coming from mine.....Still think it would make a great magazine cover....american muscle vs. japanese zen....then they go to the article and **** their pants...

Pedro for one i was joking around there sparky those piece of **** Mazda Roadpacers are from my homeland of Australia(holden kinswood). I did also say this guys workmanship was spot on and this motor looks tough as nuts. By the way Pedro Im currently about to finish a full restoration of a 1971 rx-2 that except for paint I have done EVERYTHING from tear down to reassembly. next I have a 1974 rx-3 to restore myself. YOU? fill up your own gas? check your own oil?
