At this point, the motor, tranny and radiator are installed. It is rolling on 1st gen front suspension/brakes along with FB brake booster, master cylinder and clutch master + modified 83 brake/clutch pedal assembly. Rear has been converted to FB rear disc brake, e-brake cable is done also. Not much to do except to add oil/coolant, install the e-fan, re-wire the ignition and crimp new ends to battery cable (starter to battery-relocated in trunk). Install front door panels.
Need to paint the wiper cowl and gas door (body shop lost the gas tank door and gave the cowl to me with few scratches). Front and rear bumpers + small piece of back glass chrome piece need to re re-done to match the rest of the chrome pieces. HOWEVER, I CURRENTLY LACK THE MOTIVATION (NOT SURE IF I LOST INTEREST) TO GET IT RUNNING. So if anyone is looking for 73 RX-3 (less motor and tranny), let me know as my wackiness can only happen once every 4 years like February 29th lol. I've invested over $8000 so dont try to low ball me. I'm not desperate to sell or hurting for cash. I'm in Southern Cali, near Dodger Stadium. 213/219-6581. |
Go Dodgers!

build a drag car you old fart.

Check out the classifieds section on japanesenostalgiccar.com .. you might find an interesting new project there, I have always liked the look of Datsun 510's, but they seem to be getting more and more popular and therefore pricey. The early 70's corollas are pretty cool, especially the thought of one hiding a 13b under the hood.. My fb is in storage for the winter, so all I can think about is getting it out in the spring and driving as much as possible. Since you seem to be grown up with a family, why not take on a bigger car as a project, one that you can cruise in comfort with some grandkids? I'm thinking an old Toyota Crown, or one of those early Subaru vans..

If I were to build another drag car it would be a Starlet or R100. :nod: |
Another old school has been resurrected :nod::nod:. I just need to figure out why the contactors on my brand new 40-Amps relays for igntion and start from Summit arent opening when I turn-off the key/no 12-V to ignition.

The ALT is probably keeping the ignition powered after you turn the key off
Looks sexy by the way!!! |
I like the throttle cable you shade tree mechanic. :lol::lol::lol:
