Very nice

[Buggy]

Might as well enter my 1976 Rx-4. It's not complete yet, but damn close. I'll get some pictures of it up tomorrow.

[Buggy]

Here are some pictures of my Rx-4. I do have some more recent ones on my camera I'll have to post as well.

Alot of the mods are listed in my signature for the engine. The car itself has an aluminum racing fuel cell, carter fuel pump, holley fpr. The exhaust is a RB road race header, dual 2.5" with moroso spiral flow mufflers to the rear axle. From there it merges to a single 3" with a magnaflow muffler. 2nd gen FMOC with braided stainless lines, DLIDFIS ignition. The list goes on and on. I'm waiting on a clutch and flywheel to put this whole thing together and get it running. Hopefully in the next two weeks or so.

If we don't get any other nominations, or photos / descriptions of current nominations by may 1st then Buggy will be winner!

where did you find that thing? bottom of a lake?

Close, in a guy's personal salvage yard. He though he owned it for about 5 years and he bought it out of some farmer's field. It's been outdoors for a few years. But the price was right, and the 10A still turns over!

Buggy,
Welcome to the forum, and thank you for rescuing that beautiful car! What a wonderful transformation. Keep us updated on the progress, and upload pics when it's all done. I love these old-school rotaries. I can't believe more people didn't enter because there are so many great ones out there. Thanks to those who did!

Thanks! I'm going to put a build thread together of the Rx-4 once it's completed. I've got a lot more pictures of it as it was being built, and I'll take more detailed ones of certain parts of the car. I'm getting really excited at this point to finally be able to drive it after almost a years worth of work.
