Rx3-SP making of my street racer drifter!
 

working on my SP and going to drive it daily with a 13b pp motor!

Hopefully... Still looking for a motor!

heres a couple pix if I can figure it out...

i hate you right now.... seriously. what have you done to that beautiful rx3

please change the flares and hood :)
cool project tho not sure if a rx3 would be a good drifter

Do you prefer this scoop, it's a little smaller...

nobody even noticed the car all stock looking, but with the raod race flares and super-gas scoop... they STARE HARD!!! I mean like they never saw a car before!

let me know what you think?

the pix do the flares NO Justice!

The reason they're staring is because they are saying, " What the heck was this guy thinking?"

I know you're just trying to make your car look good. But I would recommend to lose the hood scoop and leave the stock hood and if you really want the fender flares, then I would at least make them alot more low profile. Those fender flares are way too big and long and make the car look tacky. The front lower airdam is not getting any points either. Take a look at Islandsnows RX3 to get an idea of fender flares. I'll try and get a picture for you.

Here you go.

get that gay ass stupid ricer looking hood scoop off and your not getting a good stare there laughing at you

OK guys go easy.... I have gone stock before and get bored easily, not sure on the flares myself, but they come of easy enough. I have a few hoods and didn't do this to a real SP hood....the sticker on the hood is the only difference, but, In real life this car looks good!!!


nothing like it out there, and I'm keeping everything to go back stock again...

I know nobody may agree, but my buddy with the Crate Motor small block thinks its kewl!!

remember all the shit comes off in less then 5 minutes!

just trying to have a different look then all the other rx3's

here are a couple I did all the way and one I had a scoop on 25 years ago!

I was going to put "OLDRICE" on my plates!! HAHA

The scoop is a MOPAR super gas...

both sizes

hey i like it ,just needs a visor over the front windshield ,a hood scoop on the roof,a rear wing just like plymouth super bird, wings on the doors go all out,, smokescreen,, jacks like speed racer so you can jump over rivers mountains etc... just leave the body on the r100 stock

Looks like a UFO.
Rip all that shit off!

Are you going for the Japanese Bosozoku style look? What's with the Mercedes Benz emblem? :scratch: :facepalm:

:nod:Here's some Bosozoku for you, I like how the RX-4 sounds :egrin:

did you see the back?

everyone always says, Is that a DATSUN?

got sick of hearing it.....

fixed.:lol::lol:

I was going to copy the 73-74 mazda factory race colors... It's a tiger striped white green and yellow car with the numbers and everything. I'll dig out a pic tomorrow.

props with owning the car so long...did u buy it new?

No, you don't have pics. of the back.

Just put a big MAZDA sticker on the upper part of your front and rear windshields, better yet, who cares if they say that. I wouldn't desecrate a nice and rare SP just because of that.

I don't think i've ever seen Mazda factory race colors in that color combo before.

the back...

Hahaha. The Rx7club welcome wagon strikes again!

Nice rides. Looks like you've done this before, eh?

I'm not a newby!!

but thanks, I have been a member on here for a few years, and got my first Rotary in 1983!!

I knew putting the flares on would UPSET a few people...

you all sound just like my wife, but, then again she thinks all my cars are ugly!

and my bike is the b-king... lot of people hate the look of that thing too!

That back end doesn't even look close to a Datsun!!

I have a set of REGULAR Rx3 tail-lights, which I prefer, but if I put them on a lot of people tell me its not an SP...

HaHA

As long as you know its a SP, that what matters:nod:

I just HATE the toyota Celica Taillights on SP's, every single one I had I pull the taillights first thing, and put on the Corvette lights!!!

at least thats what we called them back in the 80's.

Also had MAZDARATI on the back of most of them too!

want the 3-rotor race motor for sale in race parts for this car....

then I would really have to get serious with it!!

or a three rotor with a turbo...

Anyone have a 3-rotor they want to trade for an R-100...

if you want people to look at you then light yourself on fire but please don't ruin the RX3... if you want a widebody then hook up an FB with boxflares

hey brother be different from every one else do what you like post pics of the r100 to see if the trade is worth a 3rotor looking for an r100 so that i can stick a fj20det or 18rg possibly 2tg or maybe chevy lsx block

i understand where your wife is coming from.. benz? :facepalm:

please don't ruin a classic rx-3.

u can still prove to them it's an SP. the rear side windows don't roll down. and it should say it on one of the plates on the firewall.

Agreed.

Well, if you look at the first picture, the leg-out-hip-popped pose kind of leads you to assume one thing....

Leave the mullet-specific parts for vehicles that are associated with mullets...

is it even functional, or did you go full rice and just stick it on there with some two sided tape?

Perfect Wacky.

Dude, your car looks like hell. Loose the MB emblem, flares, and hoood scoop(s) and do something more classic. You won't get any respect around here (from people whose opinion actually matters).

And why do you care if people stare at you? Are you that starved for attention?

Well, if you look at the first picture, the leg-out-hip-popped pose kind of leads you to assume one thing....


lol.... I was going to say the same. :lol:

I'll put it back to stock when I sell it

I made the SP stripe kit 5 years ago and have gone completely stock before

I have the stock wheels powder coated, ordered all the NEW lugnuts, beauty rings too.

Ohh yea, not gay, just old... and no mullett here

Just like to drive sideways and looking for a way to get much wider tires, be legal and look KILLER to me....


I don't need attention, just mentioning that it is getting alot more looks, good or bad...

I have an office view of the 4 way corner and nobody ever really noticed it before...

now its hilarious to watch people stare at it!!!

I like it and its a work in progress...

I may even change the flares if I find something better.

thanks for the suggestions!

really...

Good job on the flares...but yeah I would ditch the hood scoop and make a replica of this car:nod:

Thanks, I actually like the smaller scoop....

nice car, buy i don`t like those flares...

I was using this pic! WOW

where did you find it?

I AM DOING THAT PAINT TO IT...

I WAS GOING OFF THIS MODEL A BUDDY GOT ME 8 YEARS AGO!!!

that car is sex

whats the engine setup in it as of now?

Hey bra, not to hate on your style but I think you have your flaires wrong. Try to put the rear left to the rear right and vice versa. Same with the front. I think looking at that flair kit it similar or almost like the hard to find nakayama kit.

Here's a couple just so you have an idea... :nod:

Here's a couple of more bad boys from the Rising Sun land... :egrin:

The black Rx3's has smaller flaires than what you have on your ride..

Even on the model orange Rx3 show how the flaires is supposed to be on.. :lol:
Correct it on your car and it will look bad ass... :icon_tup:

Just loose the hood scoop....

forgot to add the pic.

turned around the rear flares last night....

going to do the front this morning!

hope it looks better...

heres the R100

I want to go 13b or 3 rotor on this SP so if anyone needs an R100.....

It will be on the road soon...

need a headlight bucket, hood and grill if you guys know anyone...

also need head rests

might just buy a 13b PP or 3 rotor and keep the R100

my plan was to cut down an Rx2 hood because I like the factory Bumps,

but would prefer to find a stock hood

thanks yellow rx3 for the photo's....

still not sure if I like how they look myself.... but I'm going do it for a while...

those photo's do NO JUSTICE to how they look in real life!

My Rx3-SP has a stock 12a with the standard 5-sp...

has had alot of work done to the body with the marker lights being shaved and lowered 2-3 inches...

I have NEW shocks and struts KYB's for the Rear and KONI's for the front. Also have new front springs...

rx3 flares
 

I like Orignal but I feel you when you want to look different I like the flares too,

Island snow rx3 is nice .
Just try to take some pointers from guys here and go with your instinct you been around rx3 for a while so you know how they get attention no matter what, Good luck with rx3 looking good.

wish tghe flares had both ends wide, then I would really like it!

bumps on mazda 1200 hood look good to ,just smaller that rx2. how much $$ for r1
