Thanks Boss.

Thanks again Ron..
By the way, do you have any articles or advertisements for the rear hatch carpet sets? I think Mazdatrix used to sell them. Basically just like the front carpets, with the rubber backing and all, but for the rear hatch. I think some were even embroidered with "RX-7" on them. Also the rear hatch Covers, for the "trunk" area? I might be remembering them wrong. It's been a lonnnnng while... |
I found this from Style Marque in the June 85 issue. They sold replacement front and rear mats with custom inserts and embroidery. I think the trunk cover came out with the 2nd gens. I see a lot of ads for them from 86 on. Not sure if they made one for the 1st gen.
This is a 23 year old magazine. Don't waste your time calling. http://intertron.com/ron/images/ad1.jpg http://intertron.com/ron/images/ad2.jpg |
Ron, thanks for posting those..archive worthy guys?
|
Absolutely archive worthy.
We should host each article (the pics) in different threads - in case his site ever goes down. Also, quicker to browse through. |

This is a 23 year old magazine. Don't waste your time calling. of Front Carpets, with a matching rear hatch carpet. Although the ad you posted says it offers a rear deck mat, the advertisement I remember had a picture of it. And No, I wouldn't call a company that closed many years ago, LOL. What I wanted was a nice picture to be able to show any local company that does auto interiors. |
I'll keep looking. I knew you wouldn't call, but every time I mention these somebody says they called and couldn't get an answer.
Anyone wants to grab these and put them on your website, feel free. For the SA owners, the first issue. (50 mb) 1979 Volume 1 Number 1 |
+3 for the push to the archives!
|
This hasn't been to the top in a while. Thought there are enough new guys who haven't seen these. Don't miss the link to the entire first issue down a couple posts.

Thanks for the share man. It's a nice post.

rotary engineering
I wanted to speak up now and we can check on the facts but I believe that Rotary Engineering was Nick's from the current Fast Freddies business that Nick still owns. When I was there, he showed me some of his prior rotary improvements that were R.E. stuff, and stated that the demand was too low now to warrant production of his prior products, though he still has some pieces left. I will check.

Not sure if this is the same RE we're talking about, but I've stumbled across this website a couple times before: http://www.rotaryengineering.com/

Speaking of rotary engineering, does anyone have a copy of the article on their "turbo alternative" car with the dual dcd's?
|
Wow, this is great! To bad I would like to make an order :)
