I absolutely love how this looks so beaten up Jay. Looks like it's lived a thousand lives and about to live one more with you.. I won't be at Summernats, but I can tell you this.. Your RX3 will be getting more attention that a lot of the top 20 cars there.. Have a blast and good luck with finishing it off. Cheers Benny.

I had a 76 RX4, 13B 5-Speed. Put in a stainless header and exhaust with a turbo (brand) muffler. It was really fast. Not 20B with a 6-speed fast but fast for a little street rocket and it launched with very little tire spin. I used to leave many V8 powered cars in the dust.

Speaking of heat shields, the later rx4 (and probably other models) had an "exhaust overheat" light on the dash, tied in with a thermostat that sat on the boot floor above the rear muffler. I also recall the boot of the rx4 having a layer of white asbestos-like matting between the metal of the boot floor and the boot PVC mat, also above where the rear muffler was.
