Keep your eye on eBay. I think I have seen some of those things pop up on there not to long ago.

Thankx, I will keep checking.

You could maybe try your parts stores, unless you have already given that a try already.

i have an entire set of bushings to replace everyhting suspention in the rx2. sway bar and all... not sure if i want to sell. i paid an arm and a leg for it, but i also no longer have the rx2.... hmmm.... i never even thought of it until now, but how interchangable is the rx2 fron suspention with an R100? if its not, then i *may* sell this, if it IS, then sorry for thinking outloud.

And where may I ask did you get full bushings and sway bars? Do you also have struts and springs included with it? If you are looking to sell it, keep me in mind, but otherwise just tell me where you found it!

rxrotary2_7

i have the struts. but no springs. i will take pics of it for you. it was a one time deal thing as far as i know.

I just purchased inner and outer tie rod ends at my local Mazda dealer for my 72 RX2. When I bought mine last week there were 12 sets in stock. I'm currently buying polyurethe bushings for my car from Aussie land but have not completed the purchase yet(am waiting for pricing). Need any further help send me an email at mrmasda@aol.com- Gordon

I found that you can order ball joints and tie rod ends from AutoZone (and Autozone gets them from RareParts.)

You can get all the poly bushings you can shake a stick at from Noltec in Aus:

you can get the ball joints at autozone. They are special order and are around $25.

If you still need them I saw a set on ebay for $24 ( for the pair ) it was newly listed 11-3-03

Boy, talk about reviving dead threads!

Detlman

I didnt realize it was that old untill you pointed it out. I was just reading thru the posts and thought the info might be helpfull to someone.

I should have looked at the date

maybe someone looking for the parts will see it and get teh ones on ebay?

Rx2 try looking at newer modales likr 1st gen lots of these parts are close to fitting and whit some mod can be made to fit Mr RXIV

Wankelguy

Take a stock RX2 swaybar and straighten out the part that has the angle bent in it, then have it copied in 1"
stock. Extend the threaded part on the ends forward about 1/2-3/4 inch to give a better caster angle when the lower control arms are attached. If you follow what I'm trying to say, you should realize that this can be made adjustable. The car then needs to be lowered until the swaybar is parallel with the ground.
That's all for now.

I have been told that is not a good idea..

mrmasda

Kick- Who told you that is not a good idea? Heck-I have toyota MR2 rear gas inserts in my front struts recommended by Ground Control so my RX7 adjustable camber plates on my RX2 so the plates would work. Volvo 4 piston vented front brakes,1st Gen LSD(bolts in),13bsupercharged,79 RX7 tranny,and to many Mods to list but bigger,stronger,newer has never seemed like a BAD idea to me but then everyone has their opinion.

Detlman

can you post more info on those upgrades you mentioned ? please Especially the brakes.
