RX075's s3 AUS spec Tuff street car build.

Post by RX075 »

Hi guys and girls, this is what I dragged home about 3 weeks ago. It is a s3 rx7 AUS spec it has full cage and engineers for 13BT. it does not have engine, gearbox, diff or brakes so I have some work to do. I have owned rotary since 1998 and currently have a FC, RX2, and now the. Last first gen I owned was in the 90's so I have a lot of questions lol.

I had to kill a rx7 to fix this one because of the hole cut in the engine bay.

I pulled this engine out of my FC, put on a 12A front cover and painted it ready to go in.

I just love how the rotary engine sits in the engine bay like a child waiting for food :D

So tiny. Always thought the RX8 engine looked lost but that was with all the modern plastic trim rubbish too

Nice work bud, it's looking great
