Well I miss my FC, and Ive found a rx5 Im going to look into picking up, straight body, just a broken back window. sitting, wasting away, behind a gas station. just wondering if anyone knows what can be done to them (im sure a 13bT can be swapped, and all that fun stuff, but im looking more about suspension setup, and the like) wheres a place i can go to find aftermarket parts for them, like body parts, or info like a good wheel size to run, or just any type of information thats good to know when modding one?
thanks

Go to the www.ausrotary.com forum, and look for member "****." Ask him questions. He knows more about old school rotaries than anyone I know of and has owned a few Rx-5s.

 

TALK TO DAN ATKINS, he can be found in the North west region, or get to his email through atkins rotary. jsut do a search for it on google or yahoo. he used too and probably still races one. lates

But heres a tip from me. GET IT NO MATTER WHAT> old schoolers are way cooler. you can put in a 13bt or even a 13brew, it all depends on how much you want to do. and every thing else can still be had for RX5's i am sure. Things are getting harder for me and my RX2's though. but get it and start fixing rust on day one. Lates oh and post some recon pics for us.

 

Rx-4s and Rx-5s have the largest engine compartments of the old-schoolers...You can fit about whatever you want in there.
