I would just say, keep your eyes open. these parts are hard to find now days, especialy parts that don't swawp with rx-7 stuff, like engine parts and stuff.

Hmmm... So there are no aftermarket/NOS type suppliers for body panels and such? I know a few muscle-car-heads that rely heavily upon that kind of thing for their 50's to 70's machines. I believe the main one for my buddies '70 Olds 442 is called "Year One".

I am considering hunting down an RX-3 SP in the next couple of years, and I'm trying to feel out the feasibility of actually driving it on the street with the general public. The odds aren't sounding too good...

Call up Mazdatrix and talk to them, sometimes they have what you need. They were great help when I was putting a new motor in my '74 REPU.

Also go to www.thepartstrader.com
you can often find somebody with misc. old rotary parts laying around.

Is extremeperformance still in buiseness? I talked to him on the phone one day then called back a week or two later and it was disconnected. He does have a large selection of fiberglass reproduction parts. Like a vented hood for a 71' RX2. All kinds of RX3 stuff. He may even have R100 items.

Only bad thing about parts from AU is the shipping on large freight. Buying a part local is expensive is usually cheaper, unless you have great hook-ups.
