Do we know this RX-5?

Christmas is just around the corner, and this car is 95 percent there. It'd make a good driver.

And why can't I spend one week in Washington and Oregon with some cash, a big truck and a trailer? You guys really drive me nuts with your rotary luck.

I like rotary cars alot, but that thing is just plain ugly. You would have to customize it alot to make it a real show stopper. It is pretty rare though. hey matt if I see any repus or rx4s I will holla at you. good luck on the auction.

Lol I Wont Bid Much Higher, They Are God Aweful Ugly, But You Dont See Them Very Much. I Am Thinking A First Gen For The Winter Would Be A Good Car. But Thanks Salty, I Might Be Heading Up To The Portland Area Soon, You I Might Want To Venture Further North To Look At Your Rotorbug.

Rebuilding it is incredibly easy. Get a kit from www.cbperformance.com (lots of VW bug stuff) and take it apart. You should get a new float and gaskets - nothing to it.
