LOL, I woke up drunk yesterday morning, had my first cup of coffee at 6AM and then worked on the RX-3 at 8AM. Long story short, while the motor and radiator were getting filled with fluid, I began downing some heines again. I got too excited to get the engine running without the accelerator cable mounted to the pedal so I had to fabricate 
Good catch guys
and I just noticed that it took me almost 1.5 years to get this car running and there is still work that needs to be done

I cant believe that you dont know what a "contactor" is. A regular light switch and automotive relays have them but its cheaper to replace the entire unit. You should see the relay on a 3-Phase AC unit...they have replaceable contactor as they get pitted over time. nooob

The homies posting status of their projects gave me a big hard on (the cars, not the owners ) to start working on my black RX-3. It is driveable now (though i'm thinking of taking the suspension apart again) but still a long way to go. Front and rear bumpers need re=chrome and the taillightsneed need plastic chrome. Need to install the chrome windshield and back window moldings along with the rockers below the door. I kep the stock engine harness untouched in case, in the future, i decide to put it back to orig stock condition. these pix should make up for those days I could postwhore but excuse the exposures as Im using my nephew's Toys R Us camera Lol

Here is the formula:
Shell+paint+interior+engine+tranny+intake+cooling+ exhaust+ignition+suspension+brakes+rechroming+rims n tires.
Dont forget to add
Labor, first aid kit or duct tape for cuts, **** load of heine and smokes, large bottle of tylenol (required if you have missing or broken parts), and a lots of cash to give to ur wife since you now live in the garage and you cant take her out and the kids.
And for those who have asked , im glad nothing came through as i low balled myself, must have been in a good mood. But in all seriousness, as is, I've spent over $12,000 not including my own labor for the most part and no short cut taken.

Any chance of sharing were you found the fender/wheel well chrome ? I like how subtile it is and how it blends with rest of the rocker panel trim. I see you have it on both your cars. My rx4 has the holes on the fender lips but no trim,would like to add some on.
Thx J
