Will a rx2 bumper fit on a rx3?

I need a rear bumper and wonder if I have other options for my 74 rx3?

Thank you.

The motor is nothing special. If everyone knew exactly what was inside it they would laugh! I just wish i could have got some E.T.s out of it before i left TX. Maybe this winter i can see what she can really do!

Nah. But check with 85firegsle (guy on SE section with new pics of his rx-2's) one is a parts car and has bumpers!!! Guys name is Chad.

Thanks Allen. I will google that shop. Believe for the price I will just go with a brake kit from theraceshop.com But is single caliper enough? I know the car is light but I plan to push her pretty hard..

It stopped me from 138 mph no problem . But seriously, it's more than enough. Also don't forget, after a certain speed you will need a chute


When you order the brakes make sure to tell Tony that Allen from TX said hi.

May have to get you to pick me up a few things also. Was his starlet forsale last year? I remember talking to a guy that had one forsale that went back and forth from ATL to PR?

I am sure my buddy can do that for us... Are you coming over to Silver Dollar Raceway for the Import Showdown on the 27th? My buddy is running his starlet then... And no this one was not out Atl.. He bought this car here and had Parker Chassis do the back half...
