This is in my 73 RX2. It looks worse than it is. I will probably have it painted over winter. Oh yeah, for the time being, I am going to be running a blow through carb. Did an Ito port when I had it apart. Still a lot of work, hope to have it running by spring. -Shawn

Thanks. I bought the shell one year ago because I wanted a better foundation to start with. I originally had an 80 rx7 that was very rusty and I thought that I would just fix it later. I am pleased to start with a better car and something that is different.

I still have not seen a RX-2 or 3 or 4 on the roads in Wisconsin. That thing is gonna look great on the highway. Keeping it white?

I don't know, the roiginal color is like a bass boat, blue with metallic. Where are you from?

thanks..

im curious... are you going with a holley or do you have the top to the jay-tech for fuel injection?
either way, its going to fly!!!!!

Papasmurf

I am going with a holley, but later if I go with fuel injection, I will experiment with throttle bodies and homemade plenums. Robert, I am going with a locked distributor, how well can it be setup to run on the street, any recomendations to this style of ignition. Thanks again.

That looks like its going to turn out to be a real nice looking car dude, good work.

Papasmurf

Thanks man I appreciate it, everybody has been so nice and approving of my project, just what I wanted.

a locked dizzy is the way to go.. its simple, bulletproof and can support lots of h/p with a pair of mds 6A units hooked up!!
i would start with 10 deg. advance with a 5 degree split to be on the safe side and go from there and you'll be fine...
