Very cool, I didn't know that it looked exactly like an RX3.

yeah robert, u should. they were transferred to the fb along with engine, rad, and exhaust system.

yes they did brett. thru to 75 the 808 was the same body as the rx3, just fitted with a 4 banger. in 76 changes were made to the looks that made it very different to the rx3. front nose was made less pointy and it went from 4 to 2 headlights. they got different taillights too. mine being the last yr using the rx3 body, the swap was a breeze. drill out spot welds and remove the 4 cyl engine mounts. the rotary engine mount cross member uses the swaybar mounting point to the frame. swap out the single coil mount for the dual one and wire in the 2nd coil. the dash already had the rx3 gauges with tac w/ over rev buzzer. it was a fun ride while it lasted.

Will there be a meet this Tuesday? I'm planning on showing up for the first time. My car still needs some work, but it's cool.

I put an OGTA card on an LS1 powered FD this afternoon in Dawsonville. I wasn't sure if he was the same guy at the last meet or not.

If I haven't frozen my *** off by Tuesday, I might make it...

Those 1st edition OGTA cards are getting to be worth a pretty penny Brett.

Are you sure you want to be putting them on stranger's cars?

Maybe I should print up some more.

You old folks missed a good meet last night! 13B's ruled the night, not a 12A in sight... I think it's time to rename the group.


FD x 3 - A new guy Alex with a very nice and clean white 94 PEP, Jeremy in the white beauty, and Derek with a flat black 95 with a 2002 LS1 swap
FC x 1- Cameron in his white convertible that keeps looking better and better
FE x 2 - Holly and Tommy. No personalized comments for you guys

4 Boingers - Kristy in the blue Mazda2, Zack in a customer's Frontier, Crit and Dena in their Pilot, and Brett, Brandon, and Nick in a yellow Mustang

Total car count: 10
Total person count: 15
Total 12A count: I'm going to say 6... It was cold out so every RX should get a point.


At one point, there were an equal amount of Mustang to Rotary owners at the table... It was a depressing 10 minutes...

I snapped a few pictures right as I left:

Nice photos Brett!

Those white FD's are reproducing like rabbits.

Please don't worry your little head off about the 12A situation, they will be back.

Long after the 13B has gone extinct, 12A's will still roam the earth.

Assuming it's not too cold for them or their owners to start?

Folks who drive 12A's are too smart to go hang out in a parking lot when it's below freezing.

Who said anything about hanging out in a parking lot when it is below freezing? We were inside where it was nice and warm.

Hanging out with the waitresses. I understand.

I didn't see any RX-8's in those photos Tommy, what were you driving?

Wasn't too cold for the 13B, was it?
