Hey all, just wondering if anyone else out there owns a R100 or am I the only one on here?? If you do, what mods have you done?? Our car club at the moment has six members with R100's so it's a fairly awesome sight when we all get together. Be great to hear from anyone.

 

ive got one! its not running at the moment. its is sold and mostly complete too. it going to have a steer ported 12a with a 48ida weber, s3 struts, brakes, tranny, diff. its gonna be yellow, nice black interior, i have 79 rx7 wheels for it. one of these days i'll actually get to working on it

Hey Treceb, sweet image there man. Looks like it's no sleeper either. Yeah mike I know the feeling, mines recently come off the road again[that damn piston god is really pissing me off this year!!!] It ran the mighty 10a, I've got two other ones I'm thinking of having a go at overhauling - I've never tried a 10a. I'll see how that goes, but I've got a bridgeported 12a I've recently built so that's probably easier. Yellow's a good colour, that's the same combo I've got!

 

I've had 3 of those liddle suckers! 1 st one with a 12A bridge,(second car I ever owned) then sold that a year or so later to buy one from a wrecker for $180: schmicko 'one lady owner' stocker right down to the hubcaps! Kept that for a year or so, wanted to go faster but not mess up a tidy original car so sold it & got a less tidy one, stuck a 13B PP Weber & 5 speed in it & spent the next 18 months scaring the crap out of myself & anyone who raced me! Eventuall got tired of 8-10 mpg, sold it & moved on to bigger rotary Mazdas

 

mine came with a 73 12a placed in the engine compartment so no 10a for me, would have been cool though.

Hey Robbomaz, I can relate to that mate. This is my second R100, the first had a13B bridge port in it also with a five speed. I found it to be a great 'converting' car. As you know, in Australia, a lot of people are not rotary fans, so it was a great little car to take the critics in. I had racing harnesses in it and of course the usual **** "why would I need them, it's only a rotary!!" But after a drive, in 90% of cases, it was"you are totally insane and/or I think I'll have to get one of these rotary things!"

A pity mike, the 10a has such a unique sound to it. When I got my second R100 it had a 10a fitted and after driving the 13b it was like two different worlds. Certainly a bit easier to handle with the 10a powerplant though!

 

It was a 'lead tipped arrow'

Flew fast & straight but say your prayers if you ever needed to turn....narrow little tippy-toed things they are!

 

ive got some kind of spring kit, with a 12a in it (ive test fitted it), the fenders are a little more than knee high
