After racing his RX3 Sedan to a very impressive pb of 9.4 @142 Ibby decided he wanted to refresh the car with a ground up rebuild. So into our workshop it came to be stripped and sent off for a full respray.

Under the hood of this gorgeous Sedan is a Pac-prepped bridge port 13B from a series 8 RX7, along with a host of go-fast goodies. A few of the parts like the intake, Pac radiator, oil cooler, intercooler and all piping has been powder coated in-house in Matt black to give the engine a fresh, clean look.
As with all of our street car builds, every component, from brake lines and hydraulics to fuel and oil lines have all been replaced and in most instances upgraded with brand new items, bringing the car up to current standards and ensure this car is around for another 40+ years. 

The 12A front end does its best to hide the huge Pac Performance H/Duty 4 inch intercooler. 

Gloss black FR18 Simmons set this little beast off nicely and with Pac Performance 4-wheel discs and twin piston calipers up front Ibby will be safe in knowing he can pull up from any speed he gets to. 

With the outside looking as good as it does it was only natural that Ibby would want an interior to match so the guys over at X-Trim stepped up and as you can see the results are pretty amazing. To cradle him and his passenger's up front is a pair of Recaro Type-R front seats re-trimmed in Black leather and cross stitched suede but the main feature inside would have to be the MOTEC C127 dash.



Since picking up the car Ibby has been out cruising every chance he gets and even went along to the Sydney Powerplay to have a little fun tearing up the track. This is certainly a car that will be driven not hidden.
