The red one will have column change :2eek
As for the estate - I\'ll buy the 1500 engine from you Mike :god
Rich ;)
That REPU is tough! :god
noooo! i\'m not buying another 323 Rich :lol ... I\'ve got enough already and only one of them works at the mo :D
There\'s somthing so cool about that B1800 just as it is though ... the hubcaps are ace !
noooooooooooooooo, that b1800 looks great, and my better half said ues as we need a pick up for loads of things. The only thing stopping me bidding is the lack of mot. Cant trailer it back to Mull! Anyone live near this red ute and might be able to help me. I can bribe you with beer or ceramics! ( I am a potter. //www.starfishceramics.co.uk) mods please feel free to delete my gratuitus website linkif too overboard. Also might be able to sling some money your way for helping with an mot?
cheers, michael.
Well the seller of the red ute wont put an mot on the pick up due tothe fact he is too busy. So I guess that is me out of the runnimg before it started! but the best thing about fleebay is that chances are there will be another one up in a few month! :)
I cant believe that no-one has mentioned all of the old skool New old stock on there at the moment. There is heaps. And i reckon that the guy has loads more.
cheers, michael.
it\'s all the rare shiney bits that he\'s flogging on ebay ... wonder if he has any bits for the 323. think I\'ll send him a question
Michael. You are allowed to drive the car if you have an MOT Booked ! So you could buy it and drive it home provided you have an MOT booked for that day.
I am not sure, though, if it has to be the closest place, in the same county, or whatever, might be worth investigating.
you might get away with that ... although I bet the fine would be more than the cost of either hiring a tow waggon and trailer or get one of these haulage companies to go fetch it.
Quote from: travellinbobI cant believe that no-one has mentioned all of the old skool New old stock on there at the moment. There is heaps. And i reckon that the guy has loads more.

I think he\'s from a Mazda dealership.
I\'d be interested to know how much he really thinks he\'s going to get for the RX-3 rear lamp surround. It went up to some crazy price last time and yet didn\'t meet reserve! :2Rolleyes This time round it looks like no one can be bothered with it :Giggle
well I\'ve asked him what he\'s got in the way of 323 bits ... last time I sent a question to someone on ebay it was Rich LoL ... I\'m pretty sure it isn\'t this time !!
it\'s HG Bryers selling the bits ... Spoke to Alan at Rotorstock and he seemed a nice chap, he\'s also a club member.
You think he would advertise in here first. :Nono!
Have you bid on the rx3 lamp surround? I did but think it will either go for stupid money or simply out of my league.
cheers, michael.
Naa I watched the first auction go well past my budget. Great if you\'re building a show car and want the qdos of having brand new parts on it, but too much being asked for me to justify to my Mrs!
My guess is most of these items will end up heading downunder. There seems to be a lot of Ozzy bidders keen.
Can I just say somthing
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE POUNDS !!! :2eek :Hammer someone got a bargain !! ... hopefully they will stop in and say hello :Typing over here on MRC :wave
just found this, I wondered if anything could realistically be done with it. I believe that Mazda recommend filling the engine with oil if its being stored.

mmmmm Thinks..........
Hmmmm thinks it might be a bit knackered now, but could potentially have quite a few period rx2 bits on it tha would suit someone trying to restore a 2..?
I would say that if you can get this engine it maybe reasonable,but it would certainly need pulling apart before anything else.
The rotor housings generally do not suffer,but the side plates maybe a bit corroded as they weren\'t nitrided at that time which offered a certain amount of corrosion inhibiter.
Come on Martin,nows your chance!
Regards
Carl
My twin dizzy needed a rebuild after sitting for a year & 1/2 while I was over here living in 2001. My parents ran it occasionally but a slight corrosion built up on the plates which screwed the side seals when I got it running again. This backs up what Carl said above.
That\'s one rusty engine!
Quote from: mullinsYou think he would advertise in here first. :Nono!
I was thinking the same thing actually :(
he\'s running a business .. can\'t sell on here without becoming a trader
mmm I am tempted, I am not scared of rebuilding the engine. I think it would be nice to have the authentic RX-2 engine, and hopefully I could get that one cheap.
Plus I hopefully wont have to mess around with engine mountings as I would have to if fitting a post 1974 engine.
Maybe Carl, Ray, Dave nixon or someone can find an RX-2 gearbox, and prop-shaft?
Do you guys think I would be able to use RX-7 carb, electrics, radiator and oil-cooler, etc?
Hey Martin, 2 of my best mates in oz both have an absolute bucket load of twin dizzy stuff that even though it is in great condition, in oz isnt valued to high. Basically if you are wanting to re-build an engine, 12a twin dizzy, then please ring around all the above advertised vendors first for bits. But if no joy let me know and i will forward you their phone numbers. Both guys are very trustworthy and absolute fanatics.
cheers.
Actually one of them drove the absolute arse out of his rx2 that had an extreemly small budget re-build, ( most expensive bit was the bridge porting) and it went sooo well. Twin dizzy motors rock.
Ok, what I want to ask next is, did the UK RX-2 have a 5-speed gearbox? Michael, I am sure Carl or Mazda can get me the seals and stuff, thats not a big worry.
I was thinking more along the lines of things like, period correct alternator brackets, manifolds, inlet and exhaust, thermostat housings etc. I would put absolute faith into carl coming up with the goods for seals etc.
cheers, michael.

Oh, yeah, I WILL need help with that, starting with, err the Starter Motor! Arrrrggg I cant decide, is it easier to use an RX-7 engine, or an RX-2 engine ???????????????????????????????????????
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
???????????????????? I cant decide !!!!!!!!
The RX2 did not come with a 5 speed box on the twin dizzy\'s for sure.
I am sure that we can find all of the parts you need Martin to rebuild your car into a rotary of the period.
Regards
Carl
Thanks Carl. Dave and Ray were talking £250 for their RX-2 motor. If I can get that one from Isle of Wight for a song, it might be the way to go for me. I am not building a drag car or a show car or a modified car. To be honest its not really a restoration project either, at the moment - not a proper full restoration , anyway. So I think the RX-2 Motor might be the best for me with this car at the moment. I just want it Rotorised again as a short term goal .
Get Dave\'s one,it is in much better condition.
Regards
Carl
Go for it Martin, it\'s got to be worth the cost of a ferry trip, even if only half the engine is usable, any of the brackets on the outside that are to corroded can be used as a template to make new.
Daverey
Thinking about it Martin if you can afford it go for both, then you will have a few spares.
Daverey
If you got a rotor laying on the floor,it will be cheaper to put it in than to go and spend money on a rotor you still have to spend money MARTIN...............
If dont want to ,send it to me and i will do it for you.....BOET....will cost about R5000.00 or so,deposit a deposit so long LOL :D :rollin .........
Moetie geld mors nie swaer !!!! :yes
Oldone, I have bid £25 for it, it gives me the option of making the car a bit more authentic in the future. You are right, I have a good 1983 12A lying in the shed, I think i will fit that.
I need lots of help from you chaps on the 18th, to tell me what needs doing with engine mounts and cross members, gearboxes, etc.
R5000 = £500, for what, for you to install my motor?
Lets rather do this--- I give you cup of tea, you come round to mine and we do it together !! :-)

Hello Mike D,
Welcome to the club.
We have all decided that your pickup is going to be rotorised,so you now have to come up with some thoughts on how that can be done,with our help of course!
Regards
Carl
i would guess the easiest way to rotorise it would be to get a cheap gen2 rx7 and use the engine box and rear axle from that?
unfortunately i want to keep the column shift box and need it to be fairly cheap to insure as its going to be my girlfriends first car!
Mike :Thumbs-up
Engine and box would suffice.
Regards
Carl
Hi, Mike !
good to see you made if over here. Whats the pickup like now you\'ve had a few days to look over it ?
Hi Mike :)
Its unbelievably good! the chassis looks mint, and the bodywork is none too bad either, theres a few little patches but nothing that wont sort...
Engine wise it smoked like a good \'un! got the head off now though, so a new set of valve stem seals should hopefuly sort it :cool
plans are to wave the stick at it, the rear shouldnt be too hard, going to remove a few of the leaves and add some lowering blocks, the front is on springs which suprised me as i thought it\'d be torsion bar... so i\'m going to remove the springs and chop the bumpstops till its at a suitable height, then get some stiffer springs made up in the right length :)
ill chuck some pics up when i get back home :cool
Quote from: oldoneIf you got a rotor laying on the floor,it will be cheaper to put it in than to go and spend money on a rotor you still have to spend money MARTIN...............

Era, I took your advice, Bud. I was outbid , I dont know the final price. Come on, it must be someone on here, who elses would want an RX-2 engine? I like the way the ad says "will fit RX-7" - err, no it wont, not unless you change the gearbox!

Hi Rich, do you mean series 2 rx7 coupes or the 626? In oz the series 1 rx7 had alloys, (13 inch i think) the series 2 rx7 had the above alloys.

Never ever seen minilites on a ROTOR,you can fit the 108pcd on studs,but not with loose bolts.(on 110pcd hubs)........but in saying that,that was a 84\\85 model so the pcd must be 114 ???????????????????????????? Am I incorrect ????:guinness
No you are spot on as far as the 114pcd. I have 4 of those wheels I want to sell. They are not as bling as the ebay ones but if someone gave me £75 they can come and get them.and they tyres that are fitted as well

Iv been bidding on this since it came up on ebay a few days ago :Thumbsup!
Look at this RX3 at ebay.uk: Not bad at all (at least better than my cars).
Just closed. It went for 1,600 pounds!
Not exactly eBay but if anyones interested?
My mate Rowan has his R100 up for sale 8,000 pounds.

Also my neighbor is selling his R100 for 12,600 pounds.
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Mazda/R100/auction-331302455.htm
And also a couple of R130\'s in Japan up for sale.
This mint SDX model for 19,000 pounds.

Damn you Grant :rollin

I have been watching it as well hopeing nobody else would notice :D
Sorry guys. Couldn\'t let it slip under the radar from the few on here that want one.
I\'m not bidding on it so don\'t worry. I would want to see the chassis number before buying that though. Just incase it wasn\'t a piston earlier in it\'s life.
Also there aren\'t anypictures of the front bumper and grille. These are extremely rare to find if they are broken or missing on the car.

hands off you got an rx3!
re12a badge on the rear is hard to come by so I would assume it\'s the real deal...then again...
Need chassis number for sure. Wonder what it goes for?
Quote from: RobMatthews;752478hands off you got an rx3!
Got to continue adding to the collection mate ;)

Email about the chassis number went to the guy in an email yesterday.
Good luck to who ever wins the bidding then. And good luck driving up to Inverness!! It\'s at least a 6 hour drive from my house. Weekend trip I reckon.
what will the chassis number say if it was a piston or rotary?
LA22 is the code for the 72/73 12a twin dizzy model
( originally hardtops [ coupe ] had an H code at the end,, later coupes and sedans all cop the S code )
LA23 is the code for the 74-75 model in most countries
( i think in australia the code continues for s3 type )
LA33 is the later rx4 s3 front in some markets , though i suspect it actually relates to certain body mods for some markets ( US collision standards )
LA43 is the luce legarto ,, or rx9 in some euro markets ,, this is a very different body to all the earlier 929\'s
( the sedan is the one with the overhead twin stacked headlights )
HBSN2 is for 12a and 12at 929 LUCE/cosmo from 1981 through to 1987
HB3S is for 13b RESI luce/cosmo from 83-87
deleted ------- ignore me the guy isnt sure
Quote from: steve garbutt;752717deleted ------- ignore me the guy isnt sure
All he has to is take a picture of the top LHS of the engine bay and you can see it
Dont mean to brag but mine starts with LA23S, genuine 13B with a 5 speed box, oh which i am going to sell as i am using an FD box
LA22S for mine...nothing to hide. It would be one of the first pics I would put up if I was to sell it...
£500 and climbing...

me too, but the way im seeing my rx4 is that it is for life not just for christmas, no matter how the GF moans about me spending money on it!! but what does she know!!
I just don\'t tell her what I\'m spending on mine....that and turn a blind eye when the wife turns up with a car full from Ikea...as long as I don\'t have to go there...
rotary for life:burnout
Well i havent told her i bought a turbo, hahahaha, she will never know until take her out in it and scare her half to death and then apologise for making her cry and ears bleed from the awesomeness of sound that my car will produce.
whats this roughly worth in restored condition?Just in case by some miricle i did win it i dont wanna pay over the odds for it!
They are priceless.
Have seen some for sale on the ozzies site for $9,000 so in english pound is about £10,000,000
in NZ a mint one is in excess of $24k nz which is approx £13k ish. Not many here in the UK so it\'s hard to put a price on it as these just seem to go up and up.
The RX-3\'s that have sold previously on Ebay have gone to £1,800 from memory and they needed some work too. 3\'s are more desirable but 4\'s seem to have a good following in the UK - and so they should:yes
I saw a cleanish 1978 (I think) Mazda 323 go for over a grand...
I may have found another rx so I\'m watching this auction closely as my RX-4 Sedan could well be on Ebay soon.

pics and details of the rx4....
Look on the other forum under members rides for the sedan. Cheers
has there been any confirmation if this IS indeed a genuine RX-4?
I\'m not sure but it\'s gone up beyond 700 now. I\'m am going to be selling a few bits that I don\'t need for my rx4. Suspension 5 speed gear box etc. They won\'t be going on eBay though.
Interesting....what bits are you selling (aside from the ones mentioned just before)?
What bits do you need for your 4?
£740 for the ebay car...and climbing
I don\'t need anything. I think. Car came complete. I will get pictures of all the bits I\'m selling along with a list. Steering box is for sale. Chrome wheel trims, and hubs, but I think I only have 3 of this somewhere?! Hubs, brakes?! Can\'t remember other stuff
Grant what are the wheel trims like ?
Are they the outer ring type ?
hard to see but are they like the wheel trims on my car ?

Pm answered mate ;)
Quote from: Rivalrx;753450has there been any confirmation if this IS indeed a genuine RX-4?
what do you mean,what else would it be?(i know that sounds really dumb, but well i am a noob to the old school)
I assume it\'s real...however just playing the devils advocate.
Mazda 929\'s (piston version) can easily be turned into a clone RX-4 with a rotary engine/box and a few badges. These cars are still cool, don\'t get me wrong...
818\'s (808\'s in southern hemi) can be turned into RX-3\'s and 616\'s to RX-2\'s the same way.
If I was to bid on it I would most definitely ask for a pic of the chassis number to ensure it\'s the real deal (even though these can be doctored too - unlikely though). The correct numbers to look for are mentioned in a previous post.
It just strikes me as odd that the seller hasn\'t posted a pic???
It looks like it was a red car originally (same colour as mine Mazda RH). I always get shifty with a re spray.
It\'s a cool car nonetheless.
Quote from: RobMatthews;753889what do you mean,what else would it be?(i know that sounds really dumb, but well i am a noob to the old school)
If it\'s a converted car it\'s not worth as much in my opinion. But asking as the parts are all there to look like an rx4 then that\'s cool but if your totally not sure then email the guy.
Still no mention if it\'s genuine....
I bet there will be a bidding flurry tomorrow afternoon...
How important is the id plate above the brake pedal in the engine bay?-aparently its missing!!
Not hugely, the main number is the one stamped on the body.
The guy has confirmed it is definitely a 12a RX-4, the chassis number starts LA22S.
Duz the car have a front screen ?
20 mins left!!!! Who\'s going to win it?!!! Hopefully it\'s someone on here.
Wow last 30 seconds was insane bidding! Who got it?
its someone on here :cool:cool:cool
Was it you then?
how else would i know it was someone on here lol :-)
not looking forward to the journey up and back gonna be 1200 miles round trip!
-anyone wanna collect a car for me?!
Well done. Im sure you will enjoy having the car!
That\'s going be a crazy trip up there! Where are you driving from?
I think steve may be a little gutted.
Glad it stayed in the club, i never even bid for it as it was £650 for my cheap transport driver to pick it up.
It would be more in the region of £1000 from where you are :eek:
Quote from: Grant Monkhouse;754382I think steve may be a little gutted.
It would have been nice to add it to the collection but iv still got the RX3 to work on and the FD with the 20b engine so that will keep me busy till the next one comes along :)
west cornwall, its exactly 697 miles each way,
I had a guy buy an old hilux off me a couple years back lived 3 miles from john O\'groats im 25 miles from lands end!
steve i did ask a few companys about picking it and wasn\'t hopefull, so im gonna take a mate and we\'ll just do it in \'shifts\' lol
I\'ve got a comfy 530td should do it comfortable enough on 2 1/2 tanks of fuel
well excited hopefully its as he said and only bits are missing are the perishable rubbers.
(i only won it £40 less than my max bid to!)
congrats! Looking forward to see more pics of it. Another rx4 is saved

Well i did ask the guy about the glass and he said its removed but its all there including the windscreen, so i think you got yourself a bargain Rob :Thumbsup!
he must have been fed up of all the questions being asked lol
project number 3!coming soon :-)
We have 3 projects on going, My rx4, Dads mustang and mine and my bros trans am!!
well i went to get it myself in the end!
left friday night6pm got there sat morning 6am cheeky text to say we were a bit early does he mind meeting us a little earlier than 8am lol
walked up the drive to find the car and a big pile of spares he never mention in the ebay ad!so the car was loaded onto the trailer, boot/back seats/front seats filled with parts bmw boot and back seats filled with spares and parts and left again by 845am, scotland seemed to go on forever trying to get out of it!
I met ian(rotorheid on here) coincedently in a little chef car park on his way to doune hill climb-nice guy genuine petrolhead.
And finally after £360 quid in fuel got back home sat evening at 1130pm
I\'ve not had a chance to go through everything properly yet or even sit in it:-(
but hopefully in less than a week i\'ll get a thread started with lots of questions :-) and more importantly pictures lol
Looking forward to seeing the pictures Rob :)
