They're 14s, and don't let Downing tell you it's been in storage for the last 12 years. He rebuilt it and was driving it in Atlanta a few months ago before putting the decals on it. It IS his old car, though, and got an RX-4 13B in 75 and has been largely original since.

That car ran in IMSA RS (Racing Stock) class, not GTU. Rx3 got 12a bridgeports with 4bbl Nikki carb. My Mazda Motorsports book says it was the last Rx3 to win in IMSA RS, in 1983 @ Daytona. And has a picture of it.
And that is one damn nice car.

Okay. Then Jim Downing has a red vintage-13B'd RX3 as well. I just figured that since his name was on there that it was the same red 3 I've seen driving around. I stand corrected.

CRIT you "might" be speaking of the IMSA GTU RX-2 that Jim just put back together for Rob W. this one:
Need to be careful when talking Mazda vintage racers
I know that Jim D. also has a few other RX-3s, but this is not the one you're thinking of.

No, Jim actually just beat me to the windshield for that car.... thanks for bringing back painful memories. But no, he has a red RX-3 with old housings, a cage, and nearly everything else is original.
