Double Trouble

Im bored as usual so I decided to wash the 73 RX-3 (for the 1st time in ages), then after one too many shots of Tanduay (Pinoy whiskey), I said, WTF. So here ya go.

13-B monster streetport with modified GSL-SE internals
1st gen tranny housing with miata gears THANKS JERRY!!!
6-puck and 3000 lbs pressure plate by Action Clutch
4.44 gears on 81 GSL 3rd member
shortened driveshaft
85 RX-7 Struts with tokico illuminas/REspeed Camber kit/1" triangular spacer (simialr to the stocker)
RESpeed rear disc brake conversion.
GSL rear disc brake cable (short end) so there is no homedepot special here!!
Epsilons 15x8 (not center locke)
Complete newly re-upholstered door/rear panels, front and back seats. Not installed yet as I want to re-do the headliner and carpet. THANKS JERRY!!!

***to date, I havent decided if Im going turbo (THANKS JERRY!!!) or stay N/A. Too many projects, not enough time. And the stock steering wheel will be polished and re-painted (thanks to whomever posted it a few months ago ******

Decision time has come. Going N/A since it is at least 90% original and its hard to find something in this condition. No chrome piece missing except for the emblem in the trunk. Chrome around the wheel I have not installed.

I hate you... you remind me of an old catholic school girlfriend I used to have... a lot of teasing but she wouldn't give anything up!
I still like the '73 best though, altough I wouldn't kick the '74 out of bed either! Those are two bad *** cars wacky, you're a lucky man.
