Help...

I read some website about Old (70-80's) RX-9. Have anybody pictures? Or is that some mistake?

Not RX-9 but 929. The 929 dates back to 1974 which was the piston version of the RX-4. The piston RX-4/929 had a 1800cc four cylinder engine and were sold primarily in Europe and I think in Australia. This model was never sold in the U.S. until 1988. The 1988 model was sold with the 13B turbo rotary in Japan. A piston Cosmo was also sold in Europe and was called the 121.

 

Was never an RX-9. RX-6 was skipped, and an RX-9 will be Mazda's next-generation rotary I'm guessing.

 

You may want to go back an check that web site to confirm the number designation for the RX ? that you are looking for.

The RX-9 was based on the Japanese spec "LA43S Luce". This was the 78-79/80-81 export version 929.

Unfortunately, the rotary version was canned for the export market. Yet that was not before the technical manuals were printed with RX-9 inside them.

Thats the story I got. Have never seen the 929 manual with RX-9 printed in it. (in real life) but I have seen scanned pics of it from American rotorheads.
