Wow that RX2 is an outstanding example of an original 2dr.


Toyo_Kogyo your car is outstanding, it is all original never restored right?

 

Thats right RX2Fan my luce is original and unrestored.

 

Beautiful deuce! I've never seen a rear fog light on an RX-2 let alone an old-school RX. I take it they were an aftermarket accessory?

 

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah the fog light had to be fitted by Belgian law, along with the fire extinguisher under the drivers seat. I'd like to remove it and put it under the rear bumper (the fog light), but it would leave holes. I guess it has to stay where Mazda put it.

The drivers window has an aero bubble thing too, that's very period. I saw you could buy them in Oz recently, but for RHS.

 

Yeah, i'd leave the fog light where it is as it is pretty unique.

 

Thanks here is another Pic I may be selling it. :wallb

ash:

BOLT CIRCLE: 5 x 4.5"

BACKSPACE: 1.75"

No problem GO ROTARY

 

f/s

 

Im seeing that everybody can find a old school rotor in the midwest,way can't i find one.

 

hey this is my 75 repu that ive been restoring for the last 4 or 5 years.
i got it from bakersfeild ca.
alot of body work was needed
paints hok kandy red with a gold base
umm alot of detailing and chroming
s4 rx7 brand new block pp'd by a good friend
rx8 rotors slotted 3mm carbons mfr rotor bearings and rotating assembly balanced
48ida
brand new everything that i can get my hands on if not new restored to new.
at the moment im in need of a front bumper and valance and hood chrome moulding.
im not sure how to post pics

 

Haydon, that repu is looking SOOOO nice bro, I am led to believe that US Spec 72-77 Ford Courier front bumper is identical to repu..
Only the corners are different. Corners ARE interchangable.
I am also led to believe that 72-77 Mazda Pick up's are the same too.
Can anybody else here can confirm that?????
If its true you may be able to purchase new if you phone around Dealers in the U.S.
I'd suggest you post a question on this forum to confirm my beliefs. There are a few repu owners here.

 

Yes, you are correct about the bumpers. The center section of the Courier bumper is the same as the REPU. Many other Courier/Mazda B1600 parts can be interchanged with the REPU as well.

Haydon, just a quick question. Why did you ditch the 6X139.7 hubs? The only reason I can see is you already had that beautiful set of SIMMONS F90's. I used to want to ditch the 6-lug hubs on my REPU as well, but I have had a change of heart lately and welcome the challenge of finding a set of unique wheels. If I did change them I'd probably do the 5X114.3 pattern so wheel choices would be easy.

That is definitely an awesome job you are doing and feel free to let me know if you need help sourcing anything here in California.

.

 

this is my new adition,paint on the car was done about 8 years ago by previous owner,paint still shines and looks like new.



what do you guy's think.

 

cheers yea i brought the simmons and thats the only real reson for changing 4x110 i want to keep it looking old school so no 18" rims it would look like a rollerskate. yea at this stage if you know of any bumper centers or valances, hood chrome pm me cheers

thanks again sean ur luce is stunning.

 

No problems Haydon, keep up the good work you are doing on that Repu mate, thats pure eye candy.

Here is another little contribution to this thread, some pics of some of my cars from the eighties and nineties and now.

1972 R100 Coupe



1974 RX-4 Coupe





1983 RX-7



1980 RX-7



1986 RX-7


1970 Luce Estate and 1969 1300 Coupe both with 13B conversion's





My current car 1970 Luce Rotary Coupe



I also had 1984 HB Cosmo Coupe and 1972 RX-3 Coupe and a 1971 Mazda 1200 Coupe but I cant find any pics to share

 

^ I've got to admit New Zealand is one of the the top places I want to visit. From everything I've ever seen, it looks like a country with amazing natural beauty, great landscape, good weather, and friendly people. The fact that there are die-heard rotor heads out there is icing on the cake!

 

aussies find it popular for another reason
- there is less kiwi's over there than here

 

I love it, it reminds me of the one I used to own...except mine was white with the vinyl top. I bet it's difficult to get parts over in Europe, too, good luck

 

I couldnt resist. Updated pix but still playing with different ride height (chopping lowering blocks and adjusting front coil-over). Once I find the right height, the 73 will be color-sanded and will polish the chrome pieces inlcuding the long ones below the door.

 

I liked it better with the 7 stock wheels. The Panasports dont' do anything for it. But then again the the way it looked at 7 stock was the "sh*t" so that would be hard to top.
