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!

 

Time for a rotary sidekick/vitara???

 

maybe I will just start on my other project as in multiple projects at once. its another "smog exempt" old school as I hate dealing with CALI's bi-annual smog test and such

 

So, I was at Waxy's today and I was helping him with his "other project" :





Anyways, just thought I'd share...

 

the black RX-3 is not getting the attention it deserves from.

 

So full of neglect, spending too much time on non-rotaries and pounding heine's

 

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..

 

What year model is this car.

 

hmmm libra...very nice...me like it but my pocket wont like the price on a good 13" tires (not sumitomo) lol

so REPUZENTN, when are you picking up this piece of crap. I'm tired of using rubbing alcohol to clean my hands lol

 

hmm so rotary does have a dead end of interest

 

I don't know that he'd want to compete against you. You're too fast.

 

Yeah, Waxy. Take his advice you old-fart!

 

'74 Datsun 610.

 

No way, that'll never happen!

 

Quit being a:

I have some Zep TKO if you want?

 

old school? NO.

RX-7? yes but not quite since we use RX-7 for parts

 

I got one to do but straight or twisties, undecided. you just want me there so I can pick on your *** green mobile LOLLL

 

 

 

Dammit, you figured me out.

If I were to build another drag car it would be a Starlet or R100.

 

Another old school has been resurrected . 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.
