When they were battling the straight six powered KPGC10 Skylines in Japan back in the 70's, they looked something like this:



And the arch nemesis:



Here's a cool illustration too:

Waaw, I love those things!
I'm getting into older rotary (pre RX7) more and more, and an RX-3 coupe seems just perfect. Since I just bought a NSU Ro80 and still want to do some mods on the Mariah first gen I own, I don't think a RX-3 will fit the budget, but I still love them! Keep those pics coming!

I tell ya what pre RX7 car I really like but they are hard to find good pics of and even harder to find in person....a R100. I saw on lowered with some decent looking wheels and just fell in love with that thing.

Maybe I can find a pic somehwere.

Mine's originally an 808 but since I converted it to rotary, it's an rx3 to me. There's also lots of pics on my site http://rxtasy.topcities.com
