Possibly selling rx2

I might have to sell my rx2, I have too much stuff and the wife is getting pissed. Here is what I have.

72 rx2. Body is mostly straight but needs paint and som minor body work. I had a new windshield installed a few months agao and its been in the garage since.

Suspension has all new bushings front and rear as well as new ball joints. I have either the inner or outer tir rod end that are not installed yet along with the connecting sleeve. It also has the rb stage 1 spacer on the sway bar and is lowered slightly. I have also put a set of roh wheels ( 15/7 ) with falcon tires that are NEW and fit really nice.

Brakes, I am in the process of upgrading the brakes, the front has a larger rotaor mounted and new calipers that will fit the rotor nice they just need a new bracked made which I havent had time to do yet, the rear has disk rotors and calipers mounted and only needs to have the rear brake lines made and parking brake cables if you wanta a parking brake.

Interior has new carpet, racing seats a custom steering wheel and a pioneer head unit installed in the dash but not completly wired. There are also some guages and a monster tach ( tach is new ) I had the door panels re done and they arent installed, I also had the dash pad re covered.

Engine trans. I have started to install a 13brew into th ecar and there is some fab work needed for a proper install, I have already had the motor in the car with the hood closed. Also included would be a new aluminum radiator, haltek e6x ( new ) gredy elbow, custom intercooler and some piping to make it work, the trans is from an 85 and the original hole in the floor was welded shut and a new hole for the shifter was put in, there is also a short throw shifer ( new ) I have the front part of a 3" dp and a new o2 sensor and 3 bar map sensor as well as a greddy intake elbow, 2 stage water injection kit and more stuff I cant remember now.


This would be an excellebnt project for someone with welding skills to finish. You could have a very fast and relativly stock looking and sounding rx2 with a moderate ammount of finishing work.

I would need to get somewhere around $6,000 for all the stuff and the car, I would say 90% of the needed stuff iss there to finish the car. If anyone is interested I will even throw in the supplies I bought to paint the car. ( paint, primer, clear etc. )
99% of the parts I have for the car are new and the car has not driven since they were installed including the suspension and tires.

I am not interested in selling anything seperate of the car its an all or nothing deal. Just so I am clear I dont need the money ( although extra money is always good ) I need to sell the car to get my wife off by back. I have one other show car ( 67 chevelle ) and a 5 other cars besides the rx2. I really just need the space and one less project to deal with.

I am pretty sure its sold, but I still have it. Its nothing to look at in its current state but I would like to see it when its done. Unfortunatly I have too much "stuff" going on and have gotten lazy.

The person who gets it is going to have one sweet toy to play with and SMOKE those un-suspecting "fast" cars.

I am a little bummed that I an not going to see it finished.

Hey man, where did you get hooked up with new suspension parts? Do you have any part numbers or anything? My suspension needs a good bit of work (hopefully a GSL-SE shorten and swap) and I have no idea where to look.
