Just to add in.
The SP's came with short pinion shaft which will allow you to upgrade to an 81-83 GSL 3rd member. In addition, the SP version came with thicker driveshaft.
The non-SP's 3rd member can be upgraded also, just like the SP, but since it has long-pinion, you will need to extend or mod the driveshaft.
AND FINALLY, my buddy will be selling his 73 RX-3 in the next few months. So if anyone is interested, let me know. This car is in SOCAL.

Thats funny.
I live in WA state and bought three SP's in CA this year and you live there and buy one up here.....
I even picked up a silver one last month in San Jose!!!!and a blue one and a yellow one! In fact all in the San jose area... and three orange ones in WA state.
All 1977's, all bought this year.
I sell the SP stripe kit if you need a perfect repro for your car...... let me know...

So Markeddief, I saw that in one of your pictures there was a cop car behind the Rx2. Were you getting pulled over, or are you (or one of your neighbors) a cop? By the way, those are some great looking cars. I could only hope I have some old school rotaries in my garage when I buy my own house, at least that don't end in the number 7.

I think some people underestimate what it's like to not really ever have a Dad figure around. You miss out on a lot of things...
Enjoy all three man.
