Flame-throwing Heikinan Rx3

Allan Moffat going over the tyre barriers in the FB:

Some restorations are really fast! 

Rx8 in trouble!

Heikinan Rx3 being lapped by 787B. Great sounds & just look at that Rx3 rev counter!

Now that's where a proper beard ought to be! And always better without a split in the middle! 

Oh no! It's grown a hipster beard! 😱

Rx3 heading down The Corkscrew at Laguna Seca last week. It came 4th in a shoal of Datsun 510s.

Hmmm... Could I line up for the Rotang instead? 

How to safely redline your FD:

Sorry the video above went black. The lighting wasn't good, so decided to delete it. Thing is, my GoPro isn't very suitable for filming indoors & the lighting in my garage could do with improvement. But now we've had a full two days without rain (Would you believe it!), here's some proper images of the new inboard fuel system. And some little Mazda sounds to go. Enjoy!

Noriaki's been tried, tested and successfully MoT'd today. Won't run a 100% until that Nikki has been replaced, but at least we can get some drives in (weather permitting) before our short, arctic classic car season ends. 

Upgraded fuel system now appears to be working (fingers crossed). Only a proper test drive will show whether the new setup has solved the misfire/faltering or whether the cursed Nikki has more evil tricks stored up its nozzles. Fuel pressure regulator should improve the odds. Currently set at 4 psi and idle and revving sounding fine.

Also, got the temp gauge working again. So the dashboard refurb also covers dials and switches – everything works (bar the radio that has no speaker yet). 😅
