can't really see much. need bigger pics, but it sounds like you're going to have a nice ride when it's all said and done. i think Rx-2s are my favorite old school rotaries. i will enjoy watching you build yours.


by the way, don't be shy with pics. i'm always interested.

Looks good. I heard alot of negative things about 1/2 bridges. Either full bridge or large streetport is better. Keep us updated on your progress.

im going to see how that works out with the halfbridge turbo 2 block,but thats only temporary to get the car going.I really want a 13b cosmo engine but thats at a later time.I already had a cosmo engine but was sold with my previous rx2 project,sold it cause it needed to much work,maybe you guys seen it in this forum (diamond in the rough)yupp.

nothing special done as of yet besides the wheels getting repolished.i have been busy working on everybodys car but mine.also because im waiting on my friend to have some time at his shop so he can redo all my electrical on the car.starting tommorow im going to mock up the engine and shorten the turbo 2 trans. shifter about 4 inches so shifter sits close to the stock position,and make my own engine and trans mount,i will take pictures of all the work being done, for now here are some pics of the car as it is,nothing really different.
