Title: Looking for Rx-3 Coupé parts
Post by: multirotor on April 14, 2005, 09:44:31 PM
Hi !
I\'m in Belgium and I am restoring an Rx-3 2-doors (10a version 1972).
I am looking for front and rear bumpers and headlight surrounds and wheel covers.
The parts should be in perfect condition.
Money is waiting.
As my orginal parts are not too bad, if anyone knows of a place to get these parts repaired/restored/rechromed, I would like to hear it too.
Thanks !

Nice RX-3. That front bumper looks like a USA version?!
Sorry I can\'t help you with parts, but good luck with the build.

It\'s a standard 10a bumper.
The two protectors were an original Mazda option and are removable.

Dont the USA bumpers stand out alot more from the front of the car? I have seen a few but in the flesh but only on rx5\'s.
  Good luck with the project.

Around 1974, US vehicles had to comply with new collision protection rules. The car body had to survive a 5mph collision without damage. That\'s when the heavy bumpers came.

Also interested in a 10A engine. Any condition, R100 or Rx-3 version...
