I was pretty happy about all the seat time. My only regret is that next saturday I'm flying away and won't be back until mid june, so no autox for a month!! OTOH, I'm getting married and going on a long vacation, so that'll be great.

I wish I had an RX3 as a street car! Then I could finally use this manual I got for $4.

Wow, what a find! Loving that manual..looks like they had to `splain to people how a rotary worked in the first place. I was lucky back then..there were still local hobby shops that had this..

The little electric motor that made it all work gave me hours of fun watching the magic triangles spin around and around. When the RX7 came out, I thought, "..now here's something that could give the (Datsun) Z cars some problems.."

Sounds like a good reason to me to buy the car. Kinda like my dad, bought a pickup for a guitar at a garage sale for a good price and had nothing to put it on, so he had to buy a guitar.

Well, this manual talks about how to rebuild 12A engines, so I might as well buy an RX2, and completely rebuild the engine. I gotta get every last penny's worth of info out of that book!

I started to build one over the Winter, though I never got around to finishing it. I think I bought the kit from Edmund's Scientific a few years ago.

This just needs to be posted twice, because it's just that great.
