I love that blue...sweet!

 

Thanks Man! I like how it turned out also... there are so many really nice blue's to choose from it was a tough call but im happy

 

Havent had alot of time for progress on the 3 in a while but did manage to work on some of the wiring and polishing some chrome!!! got the bumpers just about ready to go on the car!! I did take a few pics to share

 

looks awesome man!!

 

3.5 years and 18 pages later, still not running? By the time its done, your baby will be a teenager

 

You might be right Mel but you do know its running now!!! just not driving because of the front tire scrubbing issues we talked about

 

They will only rub till they move the fenders out of the way

You are correct my friend... hence why i havent driven it yet!!! still gotta protect that 2 year old new paint lol

 

^ you have to drive to enjoy the car ,,, I guess I'll know when I'm done with my car. But I'm sure mine ill drive it every weekend and every meet , I've. Had it to long just sitting so when I'm done if I ever get done lol I'm sure ill abuse it in the track too lol

 

Nicely Done!

kidrotary...

 

Dont worry... I will be driving it soon and believe me, it will be put thru its paces. I am well known to not baby my cars

 

Thanks Kid

 

I know, i was just busting your *****

, looking forward to my daughter driving to school in 01/13. that being said, my RX-3 will be my daily.

 

wow.....great progress man...now i wanan rx3 lol

 

nice build. really nice.

hope you don't go modifying the guards, just find some wheels with the right offset and you should be able to drop it an inch or two without scrubbing.

would love to get your opinion on the 6 speed once you've pedaled the car around a bit.

heard they're not the strongest rotary gearbox but it should do the job behind an extend port.

 

hey Thanks Smokie!!


Hey Tiny, I am gonna do everything possible to not modify the fenders... I have a few ideas left to try... I know that the 6speeds arent know for being super strong but I think it will hold up fine in my application... I will let you know... Thanks for your interest

 

it's great to see that 3 restored right, even if it takes several years. good work.

 

Ok, long over due for some progress and some updates to the thread. I have been busy collecting parts and planning new things to do to the car. I will be taking some days very soon and making some progress... stay tuned

 

Ok, I have had some play time in the garage. I thought i would bring this thread up to date. I got tired of the wiring troubles so i removed ALL the factory wiring harness and have began a total rewire... I choose a harness from Rebel wiring and, so far, pretty impressed with it. I am about halfway thru installing it now... I wanna thank TurboDave for his "tricks" and help with the harness install. Since i had to somewhat tear the car back apart for the harness install, i did make some changes... hope you guys like them

 

new SpeedHut gauges with GPS speedo, new blue stitch shifter boot and ebrake boot and ebrake handle wrapped... new dual fans mounted

 

Very nice brother

 

brand new Momo sent off to be re stitched in a nice blue to match the boots

 

Thanks Mel!!! sometimes i wonder.... Will it ever be done??? lol

 

Its never ending...just dont get another old school rx project as if you do an upgrade on one, you will end up doing the same to the other. I learned it the hard way, not cheap.

 

Nice work as always Nick, keep it up buddy!!! Looking Great!!!
