Yikes that stock motor is toast! Sweet car and build you got going on here. Can't wait to see the end result. - Nick

 

if it was a fwd id stuff it in a honda just to **** the honda kids off buahahahahahha!!! iv'e never hears of a fwd rotary. would be something special

 

my car is rear wheel drive.

there was only 1 front wheel drive model rotary made.

there is a thread on one here - https://www.rx7club.com/old-school-other-rotary-63/my-luce-rotary-coupe-rx87-765519/

 

There is a thread floating around where someone put a rotary into some kind of green car and had it converted to FWD. I though it was a waste of time.

 

okies just ordered my gauges

SPA Design Dual Gauges

here - http://www.spa-uk.co.uk/design/dualgauges/

(there all black face with green illumination)

turbo boost - exhaust temp



intake air temp - oil trans temp



Water temp - fuel pressure



oil pressure - oil temp

 

i like those gauges

 

yep me too. read the specs on them there awesome.

alarm set point for warning light.
datalogging if wanted etc etc

 

WOW! not too many Gen 5 Luce's in that condition.
It looks like it is in good hands. Nice find. !!
Go the Lu-che!
Mazda's Flagship

 

thanks man

yeh was lucky to get it.

 

Us kiwi's kinda take em for granted.....there are many here in NZ. Especially 3rd,4th and 5th Gen.
Thank-fully they are still resonably priced.
Do they have manual option? I have only seen auto's.

 

only auto as far as i know..

ill have to check my sales brochures..

only about 500 rotary version Gen 5 Luce were ever made by mazda as far as i know..

finding any documentation ie FSM or full wiring diagrams is a PITA. ive been looking since buying the car about 2 years ago and still havent found any (been told mazda dont stock them anymore too).


id like to get a new maroon dash as mine has a crack and im out of luck with mazda there as well (ie listed as special order = good luck)

 

Try searching www.trademe.co.nz for parts. You might find a dash there.
