That is an exceptional Job. Congrats. The wheels aren't my taste for an old school, but otherwise I really like it! I hope it won't be a trailer queen. Definitely gotta drive that around and enjoy it.

Yeah, not really many options with the wheels, but I am very happy that I went this route. 5 lug gives me more choices. And, I always liked the Aussie look with the bigger wheels. Plus I needed larger than a 15in wheel to clear my brakes.

Yeah, no problem!! The RE engine should do that easily, even if it's
a stock port. (I don't know your porting). Your setup is verrry similar to mine.
You should reach your original goals:

If I recall you have the FB with some mad amount of power right, like 560 to the wheels?

My car with that kind of power = coffin on wheels,

Its a large street port, so hopefully no issues getting it to the 400-430 range at 1 bar. If everything works out I will tune for 500. For track purposes only, though.

Well, looks like I will be getting her tuned in a couple of weeks. Shooting for 400 to the rear wheels. Wish me luck.

very nice car. What muffler do you have on it. I was looking for the same turn down style muffler for my rx3 and always see them on the cars in AU but have never seen one here in the US? Thanks

61620B (AKA Rene) did all the piping, and manifold. It is Magnaflow with a custom turn down piece that he makes.

Nope, Still some more work to be done before I get it back on the dyno. This is the thing, When you get older, you have more money but less time. Between the wife, family, job, kids, I barely get a minute to get anything done.

Haha, that is what I say about yours! Your RX2 is probably one of only a handful that I have seen on this forum that is just drop dead gorgeous!

I don't know about the older you get the more money you have, but the time thing I do.
