I worked on it all day today. I tore it completely apart down to nothing so I can sand it and get the rust removed. I also am trying to figure out how Im gonna do the front suspension. When I took the fender off, I found out there is only about 1 inch clearance from the top of my tire to the inner fender well. Not very happy about that, I may be cutting stuff soon. Oh, and I bought some top secret race car parts today. hahahhahahahha

Rotarys are like bullets, they do their job and then you replace them.


Top secret huh? I be it is something like a crown air freshener. I didn't want to know anyway.

Well, it's getting down to the wire. All i have left to do now is bolt the sheet metal on and setup the chassis on the scales. I can't wait!!!








For those that don't realize how small an RX-3 is.



A few pics for Doc Holiday. This is at 6".

Have you driven it that low? Do they rub? Looks like you must have moved the wheel in cuz I see the sway bar is cut.
