as of last week i purchase a 72 Rx2. and it just arrived monday. ill post some pictures and videos. of my progres here is the car as of now.
12A
exhaust ?
mikuni side draft carb,
6-point roll cage
10 gal fuel cell.

the car just got running this morning with a little help from hector. lol ant will post some videos later these pictures will have to tie you over for now. lol

 

 

well so far, changed the oil, coolant, hooked up the brakes.

Still need to fix the brakes, and install the clutch cylinder, and throttle cable.

Install some grounds, get a gauge cluster, and wire it up and so on and so forth......

Actually getting it started wasnt that big of an ordeal the REAL Challenge was getting it to turn off. lol apparently the keys being removed dont seem to do that. strange..

NOTE: Turn your volume down. lol oh and during the making of this video we also realized that the water pump was locked up. ISNT THAT NICE!!!!!

 

Hell yea! Thats badass! I've always wanted one of those.... runs a little rough, but Im sure you'll get it straightened out... congrats!

 

thanks, yeah its on its way this was just the first day of many soon to come. stay tuned for more rotary greatness. !

 

Only Hectors help...... I see how it is

 

lol nah man its was funny, i told you he had some dumb ground on the radiator support, where a rubber stop holds it. we ran it to the frame and grounded off the fuel pump and it started right up. just couldnt get it to turn off. lol had to yank the coils off. lol killed hte fuel and the key, for some reason the coils are still getting voltage with the ignition kill switch off. so something if definetly fubar lol but yeah thanks for the advice about the grounds. definently solved the issue.

 

badass buddy. its about time you got interested enough to get something running... lol that thing is awesome. cant wait to see it on the road. hurry up and get it road worthy!!!

 

sort of lol. its just i sold my taHOE to fix my property, and i got that done so now with a steady income coming in, i have time and money to do things. itll be done soon.

might not see the inside of a paint booth for a while, but i do want to get the car sand blasted, and the the little rust it has treated, and get the body smooth, and primered black. till i have enough. then ill be happy the car is running ima get the plates and finish up and itll be on the road. no problemo.

 

looks like an old school muscle car. i almost got a set of those wheels for my car a while back. that thing looks sweet with the flat black paint and the centerline wheels.

 

yup lol. but i wish i had some mesh rims. it would have that old school Japanese muscle car look. Whats up with your rims? llol everytime i see the car its got a different set on there.

 

im prepping for a 5 lug conversion with T2 brakes. right now the car is mismatched but soon enuf it will be right again. haha im gonna put some mustang GT wheels on there after the conversion is complete. i picked them up for pretty cheap. it will look weird until i can get a decent set of wheels but whatever. hopefully i will have it done by next meet.

 

yeah was thinking about the t2 brakes but ehh ill be happy with just disc for a while. lol idk if i can find a set cheap i might. do it.its pretty simple. since u have discs already. why the 5 lug conversion though? i never understood the benefit of that? more wheels? idk. its a bit unnecessary to me.

 

awsome! i too want one! my two rx's will have to do for now. when my two had that problem one was the radio and the other was the e-fan that kept it on. a few relays fixed that. i have t2 calipers front and back with hoses for all four and brackets for the rear if your interested. havent shipped bfore so i dont know how much. as for price, you tell me. we can negotiate.

 

In case you are in need of rear lights just wanted to let you know that I saw a 4-door RX-2 on top of a sign (yes you read that right -- I was about 12 feet in the air) in front of a junk yard while traveling up toward Lufkin earlier this year. I have some pics I could send you if interested PM me and I'll try to find them.

 

appreciate that man but right now i have everything, lights bezels, trim chrome. glass. everything from the outside just need a drivers rear coupe window.

i just need the interior pieces, all the mechanicals that go inside the door, center console, dash, gauges, door cards. stuff like that.

 

any updates mang? have3nt heard anything in a while.

 

hell yea! whats up? can't do some fine tuning till that water pump and fan are good to go!

 

that thing is freakin sweet!

 

the silver tub in front of the rx2 is what woulda had me drooling...looks like a D-type Porsche cabriolet 356 from the pics....mmm....me likes!!

nice find on the 2 either way. looks like a clean project!

i got a set of some discontinued volks classic mesh in the 15X6.5 with the 4x114.3 bolt pattern. saving them for my 85 but i may be interested in selling for the right price......

 

yeah theyre were two porches the silver one and a red one underneath. but that silver one was sweet, he said it was headed to saudi arabia for some oil tycoon lol

 

my bad yall. for some reason i havent been getting my update emails when yall are posting and i forgot to reply and post some stuff.

 

right now just ordering parts and waiting for them really. new fuel pump, regulator, E-fan, carb filter. but im headed out there today so do the water pump. lol found my syllicone stuff. but i really wont trust it till i cant get it t turn off. and get the throttle hooked up

 

Old Locked up One


Yeah... i got bored and had some left over paint laying around


Ta daa!! installed! took longer to paint than it did to replace LOL

 

ok i want an LSD but i have no idea which one to rob off of an 7. ive heard the 80-83 GSL will work but nothing later is this true?

besides im not to set on keeping hardware that i have if i have to change it to make it work. besides the bolt pattern. other than that i could care less

. i want an LSD with discs in the back and the simplest NOT CHEAPEST way to do it.

Right now found a GSL-Se Rear assembly. but im not sure thats what i need anymore.

Some clarification would be nice.
