Nice!
Cannot tell it had holes at all anymore.

P.S.-I like that picture.

 

Thanks bro... i like that picture too

 

finally getting some work done...

 

moving right along... the headliner is halfway in... the motor is mated to the 6speed and ready to go in... about half done installing the rubber kit from Scott's... What do you think so far?

 

Looks good!!

 

Looking clean man, keep it up!!

 

why did you keep the hood black or cf??? It would of looked good if it was matched to the car.

 

That new cylinder on the cherry picker looks great...LOL!

 

yeah i know... I think i will have it painted after all... thanks

That new cylinder is great!!!! i think it will actually lift the engine when i try... lol

 

motor/tranny went in today. I will try and get some pics later. the 6speed fits pretty tight. i am gonna have to trim my shifter hole about a half inch.... really was not counting on that.

 

where did you get the hood and how much?

 

got it off ebay... carbon fiber extreme... $400 plus shipping i think??? its pretty nice... but i'm thinking about painting it

 

thanks and good luck with the 3

 

I thought about using a 6speed tranny after speaking to you but after a long research and discussion with a local tranny shop, there is no benefit to it so for now, I will just stay with my 5-speed miata tranny. So hurry up and finish this project

 

i guess i just love shifting gears i am putting this thing together as fast as i can... i think you should come to NC on a vacation and stay in my garage for about three weeks!!

 

sounds like a good plan for a vacation but I cant work function below 60 degrees. LOLLLLLLLLLL

 

Im gonna use my rx8 tranny with my 13b on rx3 too. first gear is awesome and so is 3rd

 

lastest pics of the rx3. The engine and 6speed is in... had to cut the tunnel a little but not too bad. the new headliner is in and looking good. what do you guys think?

 

looking great ot me

 

what rear housing does the 6spd mount up to?

 

Frigg'n awesome!

 

It should bolt right up to any, except for top start engines... i would suggest getting rx8 tranny bolts as this trans uses longer bolts than the rx3
thanks bugeye!!! its coming along but i am ready to drive this baby!!!

 

Just remember to rev the motor and shift fast from 5th to 6th or it wont go in at all. thats the first thing that the dealer told me when I brought home my 6-speed Acura TSX. Did nt believe him at first but took his advise at the end

 

im Always revving the motor and shifting fast

 

just cleaned the tails up and painted them... look pretty good once back in the car
