Amazing work as we say in Puerto Rico " Brutal".......

 

thanks brother.

Thanks....yellow SP is getting some new wheels (Work Equip 03). I checked with them yesterday and still another 8 weeks away. i guess the the Japanese are really slow? 16 weeks for wheels? SUCKS. Anyways...thanks for the compliments

check out my new project. started last weekend





If anyone has or knows anyone that has a set of 14" R100 hubcaps please let me know.


ahahhaah i thought you were going to say "Nitido" everytime i speak to someone from the island and they are telling me about their car they always use "Nitido". I like Brutal better

 

^^Wow Paps, looks like a nice solid R100. So, are you intending to roll with stock hubcaps, but with upgraded engine & brakes? Kind of a rotary resto-mod? Paint looks pretty nice as well! Can't wait to see more pics of this one.

 

Paps, what is this fan from on the yellow car, I really like the look of it

 

Dang Simon!!! your out of control brother!!! I LOVE it!!! ROTARY POWER!!!

 

Yeah stock hub caps is the look i want. It came with four wheel disk brakes and BP 12A. Gonna keep the disk brakes but may change the fronts, because i dont think i will be able to find a stock wheel that will clear the massive wilwood calipers! Overall the car is in great condition, especially the interior. All switches are in place and all gauges are there also. Exterior has some rust in the usual places but overall it is a very solid car and a really good candidate for a build.

Fans are sirocco dual fans. Flexalite F365 is the make and model. I run them with a Hayden Automotive 3647 Adjustable Thermostatic Fan Control

yeah i know. I am actually thinking of selling the RX3 and the RX4 and keeping the REPU and the R100. I hate to see them parked without getting used.

 

^Dibs on the 4

 

What's your address? I'll be right over to help you with that

 

you got it steve

come on down.....maybe a long ride for you . Seriously thinking about making seven stock this year. i'm sure since you are so close, you have gone before right? is it worth it? looks like it in the pics


i was able to find two of the four R100 hubcaps with the help of a forum member. anyone have any leads on R100 hubcaps, please let me know. Must be 14" thanks for the help guys!!!!

 

I really like the event, but I'm biased since I've gone the past 15 years straight . Usually more than 600 cars, so lots of most everything!

I'll check with my local contacts to see if anyone has some. I have a couple sources.

 

You are lucky to find 2. I could use 4 hubcaps and I know another guy could use 4. And they go for big money when you see them. Might have to get the Chinese to re-pop some.
Nice car.
Era correct alloys might look good also.
Bring all your cars to 7stock this year!

 

Hubcaps.com has an image on their site and says they can get them. However, they want $100 ea. Not sure if this is legit or not.

Just a thought...

 

You are right, i saw some on e-bay and they wanted $2K for them If i cannot find any, i have a guy that will make custom billet wheels to look like the stock hubcaps. pricey but, i cannot pay $2K for hubcaps.

I have seen pics of a white R100 with SSR Longchamps on it, and it looks pretty good but my dream R100 is riding on stock hubcaps!!!! the search continues.

Tim, that was my first call. They do not have any in stock nor do they know when they will have them in stock. Thanks for the heads up.

 

looking nice

 

Look up Ojiisan Classics on facebook, they get all kinds of weird old stuff. Maybe they can help you out.

 

thanks

dont have facebook so i'm a bit limited on my availability to search.

Its official, both my RX-4 and RX3-SP are up for sale

That rx4 is awesome. I can't afford it, but it's worth the money. All the kinks have been worked out. Good Luck with the Sale.

 

thanks ....besides my truck, its my favorite car to drive.

 

Wait.. what..?

Selling both cars? Why?

 

Love this RX-4, wish I had the cash!

 

What Brake combination are you using on this? Does it retain your original offset?

 

I actually removed the wilwood brakes that are in the picture....i want to use original hubcaps for this car and i know the steel wheels will never clear those brakes (They are huge). I mounted rx4 front disk brakes on it for now. i will take some pics and post them for you. rear brakes will be gxlse. i have no idea what the stock offsets are so i dont know if they have been changed by using the disk brakes. i assume they have but dont know for sure.

 

Can you give me any details of the disc/hubs/calipers you were using?

Did the calipers sit below the hub face?

 

Rx3 is sold

 

Good god! Never, ever seen an RX4 look that good! pure sex!!!
