RX3 PP Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah I'm hearing ya 808, I viewed it tonight and it was stunning just the pearl was out of this world but it didn't photograph at all lol, yeah I've basically resigned to the fact that there's nothing I like in a 15" rim so will be sticking with the modgies. And yeah the savanna tan interior with black trims looks mint and It will grow on me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrx7 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ticks all the boxes for a tuff rx3 coupe!!! Â Awesome stuff. Â Â Is the exhaust a twin system the whole way down the car? Â Or does it join then split again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX3 PP Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Cheers m8, it's a series 4 n/a exhaust as was running a series 4 13b non turbo, so go's 2 into 1 then back into 2, ideally for a pp should be twin exhaust 90" long into a collector then a single out, or a bridgeport same except 125". Will change it once I get car on road but keeps it relatively quiet in the mean time. I'm planning on putting a bridgeport secondary in this at some point down the track and maybe even the old 4 barrel etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RX3 PP Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yeah has it's moments, wrong exhaust and bad jetting hasn't helped. Will get better once all that's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranter Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Good story about "Mr X". Made me wonder if this was the car, it was repainted the same colour not long after this photo which would be 20 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX3 PP Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Not mine, but looks like a mates old car if I'm correct was based in chch, and had a red rotary research sticker on it, looks very similar. But I'll find out, I know the man to ask. Do you know the person to whom owned it ranter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yeah a mate owned it for a short time, think it was sold to someone who worked at Hammonds P&P. I remember after panel and paint it was for sale at $4500 which seemed expensive at the time, how times change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX3 PP Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah ok I don't think this is my mates car nor mine, yeah back in the day I brought my rx2 sedan for $1400. It's crazy the prices they demand these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
