I am working on several PDF\'s (approx 40) work shop manuals, wiring diagrams, Carbs and how to\'s which will get added soon, have several manuals on Repu and other rareities, but would like to hear from anyone with Cosmo111 manuals, Parkway, or other old skool to add to this FREE resource

The R360 was going to come out with a 360cc rotary,but the "Kei" or small car class competitors prevented it as they said that the one rotor of 360cc was not really that capacity but much bigger.Things have not changed much since then have they!!
Obviously Mazda made some preproduction models that must have been pretty neat having double the power they normally would have had.
