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...

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.

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

The scoop is a MOPAR super gas...

both sizes
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?

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?

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...

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...

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

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..
Correct it on your car and it will look bad ***...

Just loose the hood scoop....

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...
