some new blood for the old skool section

[OLSKOOLROTAR]

Hiya folks,

Your right martiny, its a metallic racing green (respray) the interior is mint reskinned etc, all the electrics redone, even got central locking and 3 point alarm and immobiliser fitted. Now for the goodies

engine is a 12A turbo, single dizzy (250bhp- i\'ll confirm this when i get my hands on it) supra 5 speed, heavy duty clutch, heavy duty tail shaft, and some sort of bullet proof diff.

its running on 16x8\'s on the front and 16x10\'s:D on the rear!!!. he has loads of parts that are coming with it, plus he can get more.

Regards OLSKOOL

[Martiny]

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  I do SOOOO love that rear end!!!!


Thats all the GTi driver gets a glimpse of before he says "WTF was THAT!!!!!!"

[OLSKOOLROTAR]

Heres some more info:

it is an original RX2, apart from the listed mods above, plus its got a 3" stainless system :cool

the guy is selling it because he needs the money for a house. he has been reluctant to sell it (took him 8 months just to bite the bullet)

its been built for show etc, plus to be driven, its got anti sway bars fitted, uprated suspension, plus uprated breaks and stuff.

heres another pic:D

HEHE!!!!!! I agree with you on that martiny, I\'ve waited for 10 years to get hold of a decent 1, and now I\'m almost there.

I\'m looking forward to blowing away a few chava\'s on the roads here (GTI\'s) WTF is definately what they will be saying!!!!

I\'m thinking of putting the old stock rims on when i get it  and go out hunting:D

Hey Martiny,

I know of a 12A plus gearbox going for £400 plus ancilliaries, for ya RX2 (thats yours with the ford-YUK-engine isnt it) if ya after 1

[Martiny]

Ohhhhh, pleeease put the standard wheels on!!!! Pleeeassee!!!!


Yes, mines the one with the wrong engine in. I can get an engine + box cheaper than that.

I already have RX7 engine and gearbox,  the spares might be easier to get.

If I go RX-2 engine, then I have few issues:
 - no Propshaft  and propshaft bearing and housing( But i will have to modify the 7 prop shaft to fit somehow anyway)
 - probably have to rebuild the engine first.
 - Radiator? I will have to make it fit a 7 radiator, but I suppose I can get the hoses made somewhere. Oil cooler, too.

- Carb and manifold - does the RX7 one fit?

If I go with RX7 engine -
- Have to make mountings or get a 74 RX2 cross-member somewhere ( unlikely!)

- Have to cut the tunnel for the gear lever .

- Have to figure out coils and ballast resistor wiring.
- Already have (supposedly) good engine waiting.
- Easier to get spares?

I am halfway between deciding, the correct motor would be nice, but the RX7 engine is probably easier for me right now.

Havent decided yet!  3 month old baby, so I have other priorities right now!

Gem of a car that 1 you got, bargain price to wasnt it?


I will definately put the ol cheese cutters on for a laugh, I can just see the looks on their faces, I like cars in sleeper mode, so much more fun:D

Mint looking motor and yep the chavs up your way will definitely be suprised. I will have to come and check it out when I come home next (I\'m from Bingley originally, so you don\'t get confused;) ) :bandit

Hope it\'s as mint as it looks,

Paul:cool

[MikeLMR]

not another one ! ... you guys are making me well jelous :o

[Martiny]

Mine cost £150 !

Still going to cost me alot to get it reasonable, though. Can your contact get any RX-2 seats?

In South Africa they came with a very high backed seat, thats what I really want. Looks like your car hasnt got them, though.

Ohhhh yehhhhh. Com on old skool. You guys are killin me here. The 12a turbo rx2 looks bloody awesome. Definately a nlod skool revival. About time too. I do like the odd fd but the 70\'s is definately where it is at.
  nice work guys.

It is really great to see an ol\'skool revival goin on here.
Keep it up chaps.

Hopefully it will be ready for Rotorstock.
