yeah I saw one of those in the autotrader in miami and I almost bought it but at the time i didn't have $1600 of diposible income.

It was a 13B brigey and it didn't look too bad but I wish i could have bought it!

Man, I don't want to rain in your parade, but the hurley seals are very soft and not really a good apex seal for turbo engines. That Rx2 rear is not strong enough to handle more then 250rwhp. Keep that in mind. maybe in the future you could look into a nice chevy 10 bolt rear end. they work great. I had a streetable 13B bridgeport Toyota starlet running 9.58@138mph on just that 13B bridgeport with some nitrous oxide on a chevy 10 bolt rearend I was using 5.13 gears

sorry i havent responded in a while but i havent been on the forum in a while, what u said about the apex well i just started hearing bad things about the hurleys i had used them before but only for a short time as something else would happen and never got to really see if they r strong enough as they claim in their page
far as the rear end i do plan to pun a 9 in later on as money comes but far as the rx2 rear being weak just to let u know my rx2 was pushing 350rwhp and took it with no probles for years, question i want to post the pics of the starlet i just dont know how of if some1 wants to post them for me ill sen them to u ,,i tryed a couple of time and i couldt
thanks julio

WickedRX2 I still have the RX2 chassis you sold me. I haven't made one bit of progress wi it yet. With working on the road away from home and keeping everyone elses vehicles (wife, daughter and friends) in running condition, I have no time to dedicate to my dreams. I feel that I'm going to end up the old guy with the cool cars. By the time I get around to doing for me I'm going to be old and grey. The good thing about it is that the (2) RX2s will be even more classic classics.

69 510, do you have any pics of your 510? I would love to see the engine compartment. I am currently prepping my 13bt motor for a rotary 510 project....I have yet to find a clean car to use.

you must have had some small shitty tires and never launched it to hard.

And the days of 350 rwhp are childs play when compared to what you will be making with that T2 setup.

well far as the rx2 rear end goes i used becouse i had qne available with only $100 in welding i got it to fit
i know is not the strongest but it got me going on the project i have a 9" in mind for later on as money comes
but for who evers saying that the rx2 rear end wont take 350rwhp they dont know what they r saying
i had my rx2 on slicks front tires up in the air with the stock rear end just with gsl limited slip and 4.88 gears
best 60 ft was 1.7 which wasnt that bad for a lil street car
