JUI55Y Mazda RX3 Sedan
13B Turbo
Owned by : Maroun (RaceSolutions)
With Maroun being my brother-in-law you cannot help but feel I am biased here. But in fact Maroun's RX3 is very well restored and looks cleaner than the day it left the factory. The paint was handled by Robert, Maroun's father, and the colour is orange although the photos make it look more flouro than it is in person.It runs a Series 4 13B Turbo engine that is still stock other than having two intercooler welded together to form one large unit which is then front mounted. It runs a Haltech E6K with the original RX7 ignition system.
2005 MAJOR UPDATE!! : JUI55Y is now back on the road after a 3 year rebuilding campaign. Now in a candy orange paint job, tubbed rear end with an adjustable Mark Williams / Strange setup and a full roll cage. The motor is a Series 6 13B with full length bridgeporting to primary and secondary. It features a monster Garrett GT42 ball bearing turbo with a Turbosmart 45mm wastegate, 4x 1600cc injectors, a very large front mounted intercooler, 4x high-output Series 4 Trail coils, an 3.5" exhaust, and an Haltech E11v2 controlling everything. A heavily modified Ford C4 auto transmission is used with a custom torque converter with an extra heavy tailshaft and uni joints. Interior is completely retrimmed and has race seats for driver and passenger, and a full compliment of Defi gauges. Now how many RX3s have you ever seen with those! Even with such a wild setup, it runs super-clean. and is amazingly drivable without ever missing a beat. If you have not noticed, Maroun is my brother in law and runs Race Solutions, which is the fabricating part of our shop. This is one tough car and should put down some fast times at the drag strip, but can also be driven there and back as well.
