Wow Dave, she is coming along well! Just a heads up I have a 73 Yellow 4 door rx2 that I am parting and then crushing. Let me know if he needs anything off it. IT has the factory 12a twin dizzy and auto trans still.

coilovers ride good as long as you dont set them too stiff.
so turns out this car is officially my car and not my brothers anymore,we worked out a deal and i ended up with this car the way it is for one of my rx2 coupe rolling shell.

Car still running like a champ.I still got vibration issues at around 3000 rpm,the vibration is there while driving or parked when free revving so i know for sure its the flywheel or rotating assembly.I have a spaRe 12a block that I took apart and everything looks good inside so I'm thinking of building a weird franken motor lol.here are what on thinking of so far.
Gsl-se front,rear,and middle iron.
12a rotor housings
Complete 12a rotating assembly
Custom modified turbo II LIM shortened in length to bolt up to the 6 port 12a and port matched so I won't have to run the adapter plate anymore.(gives me more clearance for a bigger turbo!)pictures of intake once I'm done with it.
Still debating on running the front and rear Gsl-se irons oppose to the 12a 4 port irons,I will definitely use middle Gsl-se center iron only cause it has ports for the injectors already.
We will see what I come up with and post as i start building the engine,might be a while depending on my cash flow lol.


This I know for sure.......this car is staying 12a for life.
