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.

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.
