God, looking back it looks so clean! Amazing how a couple racing seasons can make it look all dingy.

Thanks, it's basically a Nascar Nextel cup engine and transmission with a few changes;
Lowered the compression ratio from 12to1 to 10.5to1
Increased the displacement from 356c.i. to 392c.i.
Opted for wet sump instead of dry
Roller cam opposed to a flat tappet
A couple of other little things

It should make 800hp at the flywheel, I hope to have the rest of the car ready to take the power this spring

EProdRx7 02-29-04 01:34 PM

Good god that thing is going to be a monster! You must have some pretty good conections to the NASCAR world.

DamonB 03-04-04 12:05 PM

I won't bother. Take a stock FD and add some new turbo hose couplings and some silicone vacuum lines. Other than that it looks factory :D

I keep telling myself I need to get the UIM polished...

SA22C_NZ 03-04-04 02:47 PM

I'll post some pix soon once my custom camber plates have been installed in my 323 rwd. It should have relavance to anyone who remembers the Rx-3 engine bays and suspension setup.

I'll apologise for the boinger currently in it in advance - but hey this has been my daily driver for over 8 years now so I thought I'd give the worn suspension a birthday before the old UC OHC block comes out.

It does have Rx-7 front struts/brakes and will be in for adjustable platforms at the front too (I'm getting these tomorrow , some for the sev too of course :) ).

I got the coil over kits, 2x200lb/inch springs and 2x300lb/inch.

I think I'll order some different spring rates as the recommended ones I've seen are a bit different. I'll see how I go with these springs first.

The adjustable camber plates are almost finished, I just need to get the spherical bearing pillow tops welded in.
Photos will be a while off yet.

kg/mm Spring Rates

For those who speak in kg/mm these are
2x 5.36 kg/mm and
2x 3.57 kg/mm (good for the back I think, I'll save these for when I get a back kit and then order more 5.36 (300lb) springs so both cars have those up front eventually.

im looking for the 1st gen I belive it was that....

had a inside shot of the inside of the car from the drivers side, the inside was all stripped, painted white, one thing that i definately do remember that the inside was totlay unforgetable because the brake booster as well as the master cylinder seemed to be on the inside!
otherside of the firewall and the fluid in it looked so clear and fresh.....

anyone know where i can finf it????

Ill post pics soon of my 1st gen in progress just finished removing the blower motor and all the air ducts and heater core...still gonna leave the stock dash thou...
