Happy I was at yours when you had this running. Sounds great and should sound even better when you sort those little jobs out !!

Almost the finished article.

Well done.
Chris

Well a big leap forward for the RX3 in the last few weeks.

She is now all up running, Taxed and MOT so all road legal

Iv managed about 30 miles in the last few days and she is lovely to drive

Still lots of little things to do till the old girl is completely sorted, like sorting the jetting and the throttle pump on the Ida\'s, but nothing major.
Still sorting the engine bay wiring and need to connect the interior heater matrix but nothing that\'s going to stop me from driving.

Have to say I\'m well chuffed with the power level and the way she handles as she ain\'t a slouch for an old girl

, the porting and only 41k on the clock may have something to do with that haha

After a drive today this is prolly the 1st rain she has seen since december 1976 :rollin

Haha knew you was going to spot that Grant

But then again you did almost spot it in the vid when ya said its got a nice brap

Grant Monkhouse · April 27, 2013, 12:46:29 PM

Porting interests me so I\'m going to pick those things up. So what\'s the choice of flavour?

steve garbutt · April 27, 2013, 04:17:42 PM

Nothing too elaborate. Just something to help the flow of the Ida\'s and make her brap a little

What a lovely project. You\'ve done a wonderful job! Hoping I might be able to hunt one down to start working on one day, you never know! Used to have one in that blue many moons ago...
