Billy,



I'm heading over next weekend and see if I could get it started. If I do and if you want to play around with it, I'll be happy to drive it over to you. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif



Ultimately, I just want this thing to have enough power and handle like a champ!.. I'm sure everyone else probably want the same thing.

To ease things somewhat on Billy. Lets come to a consesus of what we want. AND lets define the problem. Here is my list:



Problem: Parts availability and "inferior" design of the stock tie rods and ball joints.



Desired Outcome: Ability to have a reasonalby priced source of parts with a minumum of hacking



Wheels: I am happy with the stock pattern (Panasports)

Brakes: More is better

Proper Alignment adjustments and travel

Steering: R&P would be nice, but maybe stock 1st gen?

Minor modding of the strut towers is tolerated (want to retain "stock" appearance

banzaitoyota, What you said sounds good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR I've never driven in a stock RX2 so I can't really say. The one I'm getting isn't running so, I have no idea how it handles...





Here are some pics of my future RX2...

Nice find!!!



Looks like you have the standard window rot problem :(





I like your front lip, car to make a copy?

herblenny 11-29-2006 08:59 AM

I like the lip also.. Once I get the car, I'll try to make a copy. I have a guy in AL who could make FG/CF parts. He made my Feed side skirts..



So, can I buy parts to fix the window?? I noticed all the weather strips are rotted to hell.
