Talking pics of my turbo RX2

This is my 73 rx2 that I have been working on for a year now. I am looking to put an auto in it. Anyone want to buy an 87 TII tranny?

Great start. Keep up the good work. What auto do you plan on running? What stall converter are you going to run? Do you plan on running a trans brake?

Redoing the interior, still have all the interior pieces. There really is no rust. I might tub it, I am going for a pro streeted import, thats something different.

As for the auto, I was thinking about using the mazda factory one, either the 3 or 4 speed and having it built. I really want the 4 speed for the overdrive. As to what stall, I don't know yet, still learning about autos and the rotary. If it was a v8, it would be easy. I will keep plugging away and hopefully be totally done by spring, chassis and motor wise.

Near the end of the month I will be pulling my auto 4 speed out of my N/A 91 vert for a TII swap. It has the over drive. I'll sell it to you when I pull it off.

Oh yes I will drive it on the street. I don't believe in just a track car, they are no fun when you can't drive them up to the local hangout or whatever.

Jucieh, I am looking for a non computer controlled tranny, thanks anyways
