Yo Post Pics Of Your Old School Rides
Picked up another project about a month or so ago, it has 45,000 original miles. I have the original title, which states the original owner bought it with 79 miles, was a New York car before coming to FLA, so I'm assuming that it has seen a couple of winters, though not many before stopped. Super clean interior, some rust here and there, but already working on cutting out the bad metal, and replacing with new metal. So far, cleaned up the outside, took off the hideous big bumpers, and original rims, replacing with Enkie 92's, new rubber, and used front for now. Also waiting for the rear bumper from Australia, and selling bits and pieces off a donated RX4 coupe for the funding of a 13B. I like it so far, as I have a soft spot for 4 doors!!!
1974 Mazda RX4, RX-4
"RX2fan, I know that is what caught my attention + having a 4 door fetish didn't help "LOL", and "Mr N4SA, it does not have a motor just yet, I'm selling parts from a 74 RX4 coupe to save money to put in a 13B, and "superchargedrx3, I got some pedals for sale, if your looking!!!
nice find manny. i too never liked those bumpers that stuck way out front. the what i call "smiley bumpers" is what i'm familiar with on the 74 and better suits it. what's ur plans for the stock wheels? i could use an extra set chrome rings and center caps for when mine get damaged.

thanks bern, it's been in my family since it was new, my g-pa owned a mazda dealer in the 70's baught it for my g-ma, he gave it to me this year as they didn't have room for it and he couldn't do the maintenance anymore. so i am the second registered owner, all original, he had it resprayed and had a fresh 13b put in in the mid 90's has about 10k miles on the new motor.

RX4 Sedan Update
rxtasy3, I already sold the complete stock wheels to put in the Enkie 92's. I finally got a chance to put in the AUSI Spec rear bumper and snapped a picture as it started to rain. I think it's coming out nice!!! I may do like Carlosrx3, buy a set of 17" SIMMONS and lower my RX4 a bit. What do you guys think??? I need some feedback=
don`t forget me

There are still some problems, she's not running smooth at high RPM.
I guess i'll have to go for carburetor or using a Power FC instead.
