I see, well that starlet was sold a couple months ago, I have talked with the previous owner and thats why I asked you .

So do you know what engine they are going to drop in there ?

It had a built 3tc before.

DiegoRx8

Well the car DID come from florida, so it could be the same car. Well we like to keep our projects kind of secret, but from what i know so far its just a fully built SP Holley 13b. I have trown him the idea of slapping a huge turbo on there and he thought about it. But so far it will just be NA for now. He wants to get rid of it when he gets it done. Needs to move on to another project. Most likely my rx3! lol

Yea it is the same starlet. Looks pretty nice IMHO, I have also a starlet but mine has a 12a stockport engine

DiegoRx8

Man the car is SUPER clean, looks brand new. He got new wheels on order and the engine he hopes to have it assembled by this weekend.
Here is the holley setup he has waiting for engine.

Looks super clean

DiegoRx8

n0ferz

iTrader: (4)

Thanks, underhood is a rotary stockport 12a

DiegoRx8

Any plans on doing some work on that?

n0ferz

iTrader: (4)

hehe yes I did, I will install a Webber 48 IDA that I bought a few weeks ago when I get the manifold and the jets for it.

My final goal is to have it bridgeported and run in the 12's all motor then maybe add NOS and so on

DiegoRx8

have you sourced your manifold? I think we have a 12a RB polished LIM, idk if we have the top though. I can check

There is one locally, I might get that one

DiegoRx8

Oh i c..

Well little update, took hood and sanded most of the surface rust it had. I used 120grit which sucks cause it takes for ever. Should i change to 80?? Im going down to bare metal and gonna wet sand when done. Then 2 nice coats of prime

lonesomebob

My RX3 is a 73 little wagon,with white interior, 60 below O starting system from Alaska Really deep surface rust on a silver car. I have been working on it through a major heart attack and open heart surgery. Have chased out the elecritical system and the fuel system as far as the carb,believe I will have to clean that. What is the big yellow thing you have where the coils are to the dizzy??? Thanks ,,Bob

DiegoRx8

Oh nice, you should get some pictures posted. Though make your own thread please don't want to fill this one with others cars lol

The yellow things are Accel Coils pretty old school.

DiegoRx8

Got some work done on the car, cleaned rear right wheel well and sprayed with rust proof and underbody paint. We gonna sand the car down and fix all the holes with fiberglass/bondo and primer it. Then put it up for sale. Moving to another project.









BAD Porting done on original engine.


Starlet!

carlosrx3

Thanks Carlosrx3

DiegoRx8

Ill PM u though.

jonroneofakind

nice build

DiegoRx8

Car will be tore down coming weeks and taking to body shop for full restoration.
This is what my fender looked after about an hr.




Im kind of lazy but my goal is to have whole undercar done before paint.

yoeddynz

wow - so solid looking!!!

I had a vinyl roof too- i thought it was added on by someone- but now i realise it must have been factory!!! whoops....

carlosrx3

some car did came with a vinyl roof from the factory this is a rare find .if you have a car with factory vinyl roof leave it on the car is worth a lot more.Some car came with a 1/2 vinyl roof,The rare one is a vinly roof with a rag top sunroof like a old VW bug had I see one In a movie gone in 60 seconds the one made back in the 70.It was a red one in the show room floor.Back when the Rx3 were made the factory had a lot of thing that you can have added on but over the years they were takin off and trash.Like a little bee in the front grill.side window wind visors.I told the person that own the rx3 leave the vinly roof on thats factory but the young kids do not care about us old guys who knows how the cars look for the factory.

DiegoRx8

well im not sure if it is indeed from factory. Don't want to find out the hard way either. I know its got sway bars, traction bars, and white interior. From what i been told thats kind of rare on some. But i don't really know.

yoeddynz

my vinyl roof is long gone- i had to remove it to cut out rust!

It didnt look nice on a light coloured car anyhow.

Mine came with alloy wheels fitted by mazda uk though- still on there!
