Mazda Rx3Gt Restoration
ylwgtr2 replied to ylwgtr2's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
i currently have no more organs left to sell Ive been saving this stuff up for a while for when something a little special came up....and i thought this was the perfect car to use it on.....i could have bought a series1 rx7 and built a moffett replica but i personally think they look like a busted ars***le -

these are the stationary gears again new mazda factory racing parts....these were very hard to get,although i have been told that you can use late model 13b gears and machine them down (the early MFR gears are nitrided and so was the 13B turbo gears) but these are genuine and it makes my brain work better knowing that they are the 12a "racing" units that moffet and katayama used -

mazda factory racing inlet manifold and injection throttle body.The throttle body is a direct bolt on to any manifold that takes a webber/solex carb and converts to efi.I dont think i will be using the trumpets as they dont really fit the era of the car -

yep hindsight is wonderful huh?I do know of 2 other GT rx3 coupes in japan for sale (one of which i painted over ten years ago!) and familia coupe (r100) so they are around and for sale. I look around here and found nothing but 808's converted into rx3's with autometer tacho's,roll cages and autobarn race seats for no less than 13k was the very cheapest....on the other end 30k for gen rx3 but with again roll cage/turbo engines but nice cars....just not original/period correct....im about to start building the engine....for those that dont know these first pics are the "engine cylinders/block and camshaft's" all in one and these are mazda factory racing units.I will show some pics of the engine being assembled as i go -

ok heres the rear seats back after retrim.....someone had changed the front seats over the years so had to find those(found now) and they are still getting done.....75 GT's had these funky washers in the centre insert and leather was also an option which the owner took on my car....Im also about to build up the factory race engine with a bunch of new old stock stuff i got here....i will post the pics when i get going on it -

i think that when these cars are built up to keep with the theme of old mods simmons are something that was used in the old days so to make the car period correct they get used.....or those old jelly bean wheels/dragways....its not like you can put newer wheels on .....i dont think there is much choice -
