Looks awesome. Rx3s are well cool. I must say I really like that. Would not mind one myself :)

So is your drag car going to make an appearance this year at Japshow Finale or will it be another year not running?
Or will it be on a trailer standing still?

Yeah not too bad.  Been off the road over a year now, been out of work for 10 months and had no money, only just started my new job.  Should be getting the car sorted in the next 6-8 months I hope..

I dont think anything has been done to the car.
 
[When we me and my dad stripped this car for repairs and paint it was easy as there wasnt a huge amount to be taken apart, the setup on this car looks really good and i hopefully may steal a few ideas from it for the steering.
 
This would be awesome if it had a 20B na PP in it!

Why???
Yes I like V8s but the only ones to have are from an aussie V8  but not in a classic RX3
This was a purpose built car and to ruin it and devalue it would be a shame

No chance, the power to weight would be good if it did but the only engine that should be in this is a 20B n/a. There is one on YouTube that is sponsored by redbull. It sounds brilliant and goes like stink!

12a PP to keep it cough cough "origional" or 13b PP n/a wich you could get away with for sprints etc.
I would love to have the car and Carl knows that. Pirty I have that other thing sitting at home in the garage:Hammer
