Looks great, love the hubcaps too. I take it this is the piston version? If not, need pics of the engine bay.

Yeah its the 1.6 L 4 cyl version of the RX-2, pretty slow!!

But we are swaping the motor from our RX-4 into this very soon, hope to have it out to some meets this summer.

Can anyone direct me to some new struts for this?

Wow I hae never seen a 616 in person. a while back my ultimate plans were to have an awesome rx2, and firn a 626 to update to the Mazda b6 motor, to make it very reliable and a bit faster, but those dreams left me when i got my 8.

Nice find. Very nice find.
