Just felt like telling some one how i met the best car ive ever driven



I was driving a 83 7 at the time and me and my girl were expecting a baby so the 2 seater just wasnt gonna work anymore

so me and my father in law decided to go to the local junkyard to see if we could find something to possibly put my little rotary in,

you know like a corolla or little datsun of some kind, and ill be damned, at the very very end the mazda row there she was,little 4 door 73 rx2, apparently it as silver at one time but was now faded to a primer grey like color,first thing i did was jump right in and i never felt more at home in a car before.

after a little negotiating we got for for 400 bones,and i was broke at the time so i sold a crashed 95 240sx to my father in law for 400 and picked up the rx,swaped in the 12a, 5 speed and lsd out of the 7,its come a far way since that time and is so much more than i ever expected i could get it.now it has a brand new 12a, weber carb setup,all kinds of lttle goodies,bunch of custome stuff ive done myself , did the turbo thing but it didnt work too well so maby some day in the futrue when the funds make it a little easier.someday ill find a way to put some pics of my baby on here.

but if you read this thank u and stay true to the old school and escpecially the rotary engine.

Thanks for sharing! It's been many years since I had mine--also a '73 4-door. I'd like to get another one some day.
