First RX7s in USA
Back when the RX7s were first imported to the USA, my buddy was writing service at a Houston Mazda dealership and offered the opportunity to come over after hours to take apart a RX7 rotary engine. I jumped at the chance to see the inside of this mysterious power plant. It seems the new owner only had a few miles on the car and had neglected to follow the rules concerning oil levels. Yep, the engine was trashed and as we know now, it would not be the first to succumb to no oil in the fuel mix. The look-see inside the rotary was a blast. We must have had 20 people looking at the pieces and parts during the tear down wondering how in the world did this little engine work. In the years to follow I owned four RX7s and never forgot the first rotary lesson.
