Awesome build buddy! And an even better girlfriend. My ex hated the rap of my SA, but she's an ex now so brap brap! Haha I really love those fender flares by the way. They give the rx an awesome stance.

thanks lol the car is down right now, it over pressurized the oil system and blew and oil control ring. For some stupid reason i put 5 quarts of oil on the brand new engine i built for it, but its alright its just a sign to open it back up and port it to get the most of the hybrid i just bought

Took the engine apart and all the bearings spun on the engine my oil pressure gauge wasnt working but i think i had low oil pressure and starved it from oil oil pump was new the pick up had a new gasket dont know what happened but im guessing the oil filter collapsed. Already ordered a new mechanical gauge

It's a sad day for rotary's today around noon a 74 yr old driver on a chevy silverado crossed and intersection without looking and i tboned him on the first gen the car is totaled but luckly i wasnt hurt. Engine wasnt damaged wheels werent damaged , but the hole front end is done hood fenders, the flares, the radiator is 1/4 inch from the engine has bad frame damage. Already looking for another first gen to swap the engine and wheels and its coming back even better than before.

Only difference is that now it has RA apex seals, race port, garrett 60 trim, 850cc secondarys, lsd, and after a year it broke a transmission.
