That site sucks. There are only pics of plastic toys and no real info that i could see. Did you have any specicifc questions? There are a couple of us on here that own these cars and im sure we could answer your questions.

Just what do u need to know about them? There was one awhile back for sale on Ebay. Also on ThePartsTrader.com and AutoTrader.com. BTW, the 808 is the same car just has a 4 banger. An easy swap to rotary, that's what I did.

there's 3 on this page:

http://www.geocities.com/mazdarx00/ , though the design is terrible, has the most RX2/RX3/etc info I've ever found on the web. They have diagrams, photos, scans, tech info, and some other stuff.

For now I am just looking for general info cause i am thinking about making an RX3 my next project car now that the Starion is gone

What should i look out for? what kind of hp is reasonable? What kind of rotary motors will swap in easily? How much are parts? Are the parts hard to come by? ect.

Thanks for the posts i will start going through the sites you posted now.

While your car is absolutly beautiful I am looking for a project car, something to rebuild and mod. I could never tear into a car that is so clean.

One of the main horsepower limiting factors are the wimpy axles in the stock rearend.

how much HP can they hold? Is there a 'easy upgrade' for the axle?
