Hi Folks,

I just picked up a new toy, which is on its way home (thank you Jenkins!)

It is a 1973 Rx2 Race Car, it should be here late tomorrow.

If I can make it work, I will post a couple phots here for you to see!

WOW that car is hella awsome!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/bowdown.gif

nice!!!

That's sweet! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Was that the one on Craigslist? I thought about calling on that one... looks killer...

yeah, that is nice. would be a perfect pp project.

Yeah, Jeb.



Looks great - love the artwork!

Looks like an angry bumble bee!!!, perhaps a killer bee.

It's here....

It is better than I thought. There was a lot of time and energy put into the suspension. Coil overs up front, camber caster plates, 5 way adjustable shocks. I can't tell much about the rear, because it is sooooo low. Wheels are aluminum circle wheels with Hoosier race tires (not DOT legal, but cantilever slicks).



Lots of details to be taken car of, but it is all there!

Big thanks to Jenkin for all the help!

You rock!

that things mad pimp i want that decal painted on my tII

NICE

are interested in selling the repu? if you are what would you like to get for it? thanks

I do not have a Repu, wish I did though!

Really! Are you sure?, or have you just not told the wife yet.

Watch what you say (wife over shoulder)!



Actually, we made a deal. I can have my cars and she just wants to be able to buy nice bags and purses.



(I think I got the better end of the deal).

That's why I'll never get married, so I won't have to make deals.

Hehe, my wife actually said once that it was to bad she's a jealous type, as a mistress would probably be cheaper than my car sickness! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



look forward to seeing you run your new toy! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

Well, I am back working on the Rx2.

It needed a fuel tank and I had hoped to put in a fuel cell. I had made a deal with a racer but he flaked. Damn race folks flake as soon as the racing season begins. (Oh ya, for those of you who sent your BSCC membership in I will get to them, just running behind).



Well I just put an Rx2 tank in and the venting. I will put in a fuel pump tomorrow night.

that thing looks awsome let us know how she runs

very nice......Score........

Thanks!

Just got the fuel pump in and began looking at the brakes.

May have also got a line on another set of wheels for the track.

Ok, the battery is now in the trunk and I am working on running the power wires.

Wow, it sounds like things are going together well for you. Can't wait to see it.

JEB, don't know what you have planned for a motor, but i have a kahran stage II bridgeport s4 b13 with s5 internals that i would like to see running in something. you'd have to cobble up an intake system.... you could borrow it till it blows!!!!

Wow, Jenkins!

That sounds cool, I wouild love to put that in!

Hey, will you be at Izzy's next week, we could talk details!

damn, thats nice

ok, got the emergency power off switch in and the battery is finally wired. Just need to do some wiring under the hood and it should be good to go!

yippee!!

Close…

But, not quite there.

Ok, I have everything in (built a wiring system, bled the brakes, added fluids to engine, tranny, rear end, fixed a bunch of little quirky things) and it is almost going.



Have spark, compression, and fuel, yet I just cannot get it spinning fast enough to kick. I have seen this before with other rotaries that have sat long periods. In the past, I have drug behind a truck and spun up the engine until they catch. After that they seem to start up with the starter. That is my next step, just not in time for tomorrow’s practice.

pull the plugs and put some MMO in it for good measure!

Nice to hear it has come together. I can't wait to see that thing in person!

MMO Good idea...

And, if this engine does not work...Jenkins sent me up with a little bridgey

yeah!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif and i will bring the rb fw and S5 AT counter weight over today. i guess I will throw the intake that i fubared in there too, in case you get itching for fuel injection. i have a couple sets of 55o injectors too...
