I know this is not my first oldskool car, cause i use to have a 83 first gen full bridge, blue 74 rx3 full bridge also, and finally my Yellow rx3 with MICROTECH LTX8 while other people run the MTX8... lol NOTICE the black box on the passenger floor.... I know you guys just want 10.80 - 14.. ets.. But my yellow car was a cosistent 10.30-50 at IDRC when it use to go out.. hooray for haltech and dfi back in the days.. hehehe

My first RX2
Here is a picture of my 71 RX2 from way back in the early 90's in Southern California. Damn that car was fuc?ing loud for a street car. Had a lot of fun at the street races back then. I have pictures from when Jose V. when he was a newbie to the rotary scene and had a full head of hair.
Street setup was a 13B 4-Port Streetport built by Henry Hu, 48-IDA with Jaycee Enterprise air horns. My best time with that setup on BF Goodrich Radial TA's was 13.50-70's. Then decided to go racing at the track what a big mistake that was.
This brings back good memories and hope to be racing at a local track soon.
Thanks

But it would be nice to have that wagon with band wagon with doors... I don't know any sean, unless you raced jimmy from fast back wards...
Since we are in the subject we should see some progress on your car, doors would be nice... l

You remember
Everyone wanted a piece of Jose back then because his car was fast. I believe the car we raced was a grey RX7 with a 13B Bridge Ported engine from PHE. We raced once and let you guys win (sucker race). Then beat you twice because Sean could not believe a street port motor whipped his ***. That was the good old days street racing at Stadium Way up at Dodger Stadium. Don't feel bad you were not the only street racer to fall victim to Jose's RX3. I actually remember getting into lots of trouble because some people could not accept a well tuned street port motor could smoke a Bridge motor.
Can't wait to see you guys race your turbo cars? When and where?

But as you guys said it was my car, but I wasn't the one racing.. And I was the one that you guys had steak and shrimp.. Its a long shot to have someone to have them race your car and have them loose your money... Odd

Time to dust off the memories and make new one's guys. C'mon, let's get those rotories out of the garage and back on the streets/race tracks.
