Another RX3 getting back on the road

http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/cmoyer51/RX3/


Bought this thing in 93 and drove it for a total of 12/16 months.

Motor is a turboII plates with 9.4 rotors. No porting. Atkins seals. TurboII housings. Holley 600cfm carb. S4 exhaust manifold. Just trying to get this thing back on the road again. Today was the first start in 4 years.

Thanks.


I cant wait to get it back on the road again. Pushing for next week. Just a few more things to do. Build a exhaust, throttle bracket, install a e-fan.
When I bought it in 93 it had 76000 miles on it. It now has 88000 miles. I just want to put some miles on it before it goes turbo, maybe in a year or so. One thing I do want to do is lower it.
