Thanks rxseven07! Actually there are some plates on the way: BUZZZ1N.
Yes, the open highbeam goes to a 4" duct to the carby. The wheels are SSR/Wat's.

Sweet RX-2 Jamie. Have you had that car over for Sevenstock? Can't recall seeing it and I doubt if I'd forget such a sweet example of an RX-2!

It was at Sevenstock 6 when it was dark blue w/ 13" 4-spoke Hayashi's, it also used to have an aluminum dash and a Holley carb! IT was parked next to the burgandy rotary 510.
It wasn't finished for this last one....I was pissed about that.

Not an original color...just one out of the PPG catalog! It was teal green from the factory.

More pics to come...I hate trying to resize these things.

Looking good Jaime, I can't imagine how much work it took disassembling and putting that car back together, definitely worth it though. Its funny how huge those 15's look on an RX-2.

Plans are to break in the motor and possibly do some of those "run what you brung" road course days. Maybe a low boost blow-thru set up. I really need some magnaflow 4" rounds to replace the 4 year old, blown as a **** glasspacks.

By the way, the car took 11 months from start to now, and it still needs the front and rear window trim, a driveshaft (i'm borrowing a one-piece), a headliner and a radio!
