the RX-2 is not getting very far right now. I have not had much time latley. I did get a chance a couple weeks ago to work on it a little, I fixed the float on the carb, and move a bolt that I think was in the way. It seemed to run a little better, but not like it should.
I think the front brakes are not working AT ALL. so I need to take a look at that. but I did get the hood on it now, so thats kinda cool! cant wait to get it int he garage (once the race car is shiped out this week) and start really working on it!
oh yeah, I also fixed the starter problem on the 2. the damn starter fell out the day I baught the car. but I got it put back in.
how is your race car comming along? any updates?
on a side note, I won yesterday at the autocross. so thats pretty cool. only 4 drivers in my class this time though, so that kinda sucks. would have been nice to win by beating more people. beat an Evolution, and 2 supras. (same supra, 2 drivers). Evo was on some pretty serious street tires, as with the Supra. I was on slicks. (but much smaller then both cars) Evo was fairly stock, Supra seems pretty well built.

FC3S, I think you are talking about scots friend..... cant remember his name right off hand though.
Rice, Sold the car for $1,600. but I kept the engine, trans, clutch, MSD.... he got the car the ignition system (minus MSD) and the fuel system.
he is going to strip the car BACK down, remove everything, and put a turboed Mazda 4 banger in it, and turn it into a Pikes Peak hill climb car. (it will be a backup car from what I gather)

Haven' t read this thread in awhile. Nice car jesse, thats what emily and I wanted before we got the VW. I did a trade myself, but I downgraded from an FC. I got a 89 crx. I'm going to do some minor head work then slap a turbo on it.....yes I know, still deciding on what to do with it.
