I am building a rx2 sedan for forum member Jlrotary.we are going to be doing a complete build which consists of full new front and rear suspension,coil overs,custom brakes,bigger beefier rear end,complete new wiring harness for full car,engine is gonna be a Cosmo 13b street port,turbo II transmission.
Here are a few pics of his car and old engine






I have recently dropped all front suspension




Cleaned up all the suspension parts and painted semi gloss black,took out and replaced bushings and ball joints,also installed coil overs.



Also installed complete brake set up on drivers side today(will post pics in the morning),waiting on sway bar bushings,and tie rods from getting redone so I can install it all up and start working on the brake master cylinder,booster,and brake hard lines.

 

Front brakes

 

Sweet project. I'd love to see one in person.

 

Man what a beautiful car, I know that's a stock color, but is it the original paint?

 

I believe original color is lighter blue.

 

oh ok, it looks a lot like the color on this car

The outside looks really nice but that engine bay looks like something found on the titanic! Holy smokes.

 

^Yeah that has been taken care of lol.i pulled motor out and he took it to body shop to get painted black before I pulled the suspension.

 

Yesterday I was able to mount up passenger side brake hardware,got some custom steel braided hoses done up,and mounted the brake and clutch master cylinders.

 

throwing good money over bad???? just kidding.. good job bro

 

I like the black in the engine bay

 

dave builds the coolest Ol School Rides! keep up the good work!

 

You're the hardest working rotorhead on here Dave! One project after the other. Do you have any recent pics of the yellow 77' REPU you built?

 

Where did you get the master from and is it 1 1/8 bore size to work with the front brake kit

 

I got it from summitracing.com.it is the only one that has the bolt pattern that will fit the stock booster and also that has a reservoir that won't hit the shock tower on the rx2.when I say tight fit it literally comes 1mm from hitting the shock tower.bore size is what was recommended for the brake set up on this car.

 

You're the man Dave we need guys like you in in Cnada....I would like to do a similar brake set up on my deuce where did you get the parts? is it a custom fit?

 

Wow, that RX-2 is a beauty man !

 

Dave, car looks great! I specially like that brake and clutch master set up did there. Would you have a part number for summit for it? I would like to copy your set up on my rx2 if you don't mind.

^I have a few people that have asked for part numbers on the brake and clutch cylinders.i will get those for you guys hopefully tomorrow and also so it can help others too.

And of course I don't mind at all

 

info on those coil overs!! will they fit a FB chassis with re-speed rack/pinion conversion??

 

Dave... how about some part numbers on the brake and clutch cylinders.

 

^i will post those up soon.
Little update...mounted the proportion valve and line lock,just need to do some hard lines on front and rear brake lines.
Rear end all done...new LSD 31 spline unit,4.10 gears and new axles.
Here's some pics

 

Ohh man what a pain in the *** it was to clean up the rear diff control arms!
Bushings were a bitch to take off also.took me a whole day and a 12 pack of coronas to do the job
Pressing in the new bushings was quick and easy.

 

That baby is looking good. Dave I been in the summit website checking on the brake master and I see a few that look like the one you have. Do you recall if the part number for the one your using is WIL-260-8794? Did you need to modify the mounting holes for it? Well, I appreciate your help and Happy Holidays.

 

The mounting holes were off by maybe 1mm-2mm,nothing a dremel can fix.i been working a lot these last few days and havnt had time to check those part numbers.
Before I go to work tomorrow I will go in my garage and try and get those part numbers.
