I have a 72 RX3 with a 12abp on nitrous. I like it a lot. You will have a ton of fun. I dont know how those 6mm seals will handle nitrous though. Arent the 6mm seals made of carbon?

i have a 77 sp and have the 36 webers on a rotary eng. manifold. my plans are for rocker bars in the back (pretty inexpensive upgrade) as well as 1 gen front susp. though i heard it lowers the car but i dont know i f you would need a camber kit. also "re speed" sells rear disc conversions for us based on a 1 gen disc. I think its the bracket(s) and you have to come up w/ the 1 gen brake piecres. I also have a full interior from my sp along w/ some body pieces for sale if interested. good luck-Erik

Thanks for the feed back!



I've determined that the carbon apex seals are not a good seal for NOX and will leave that option for the next engine I build.



I'm going with the front brake set up from http://www.theracingstore.com/main.html



I've picked up an RX7 dif with LSD and a full disk brake set up to transplant into the RX3 diff. I'll use the brackets from http://www.mrcmfg.com/respeed/catalog/inde...290cbc10bd8755b



I don't have a lead on a master brake cylinder conversion? Any ideas???





I need to decide about strut cartages for up front and shocks for the back.



I will probably get an RX2 front sway bar or have one built to the larger bar. I'd like to inprove the rear end grip. I've seen a rear sway bar on an RX3 back in the 80's, but could not find a source?? anyone?????



For wheels and tires I think 15 or 16 inch max will give me the look I want.



I don't know what I'll do for exhaust. Right now I have a 2 inch high flow system. I'll try it first and then decide if a 2 1/2 or 3 inch system is call for!



First step is to pull out the diff for the rebuild. Then I'll tackle the front end. I'll need to decide on a set of bushings for the whole car.



Thanks for the help!
