I got this thing back. 8 point roll bar, tranny mount, and subframe connectors. Now I gotta throw in my running engine and get her to light, after that, get my 9 inch cut down and stuffed under the back, and she'll be damn near done.
PS, I got one of those cool holley manifolds for her.

I got the "running" motor in. Now I gotta try and light it to see if it actually works. Then Im gonna go weigh it so I can see how heavy this thing really is. Stock 9.7:1 6 port on nitrous. Think it'll take a 100 shot? Assuming the filter is clean of course, hahahhahaha, I kill me.

Well, the damn motor has stuck apex seals on the front rotor. You can reach in the back rotor (through exhaust port) and push the apex seals in (springy), but the front ones wont budge. I have tried soaking it carb cleaner, it didnt work. What the hell can do to get them free so this thing will run?

Pour some automatic tranny fluid in the carb and "tow it in second gear"... I got mine unstuck like that... It smoked like a motha, but it started right up...

Sooooo, Im showing this car to a buddy and all of a sudden he's like, "You got how many old imports?" ...... "Well, since your Rx3 is your baby, why dont you sell me this one?"
Suffice to say, I dont think I will have this much longer. Gonna go to a better home that can devote more attention to it. And in turn, I can focus more on the RX-3. I just have to emotionally let go of my love for nitrous. (Its so hard)

Well the first step to recovery is admitting your wrong.

Well, as much as it pains me, this car is officially SOLD. It is going to a good friend of mine, so at least I know it is in good hands, and I will get to see it run.
