Hi folks. Im looking to buy a Mazda Capella from a local guy for a rotary drag-project. Im pretty sure its the same model as this one:

Is this model any good for a custom project? Anyone here have done them? Looking for pictures of cool builds and more info as im not very familiar with these models.
Search RX 2 rather than Capella and you will get more ideas
Okey, thanks. So its named RX2 also - same car, just rotary powered?
I have the chassisnumber, SNA134221.
They will make for a good drag project:) if you join ausrotary.com you will see lots of cool old school rotary projects. The search engine is a PITA but there\'s loads of helpful people on there, very friendly.
Thanks for the tip Grant, i`ll join in at ausrotary.com :)
I had same project on my mind too! :) But I was going to do a oldscool sleeper. Unfortunately, that car is rare now. I found few of them but they all very rotten or too expensive... :/
I even contacted local deelership and importer. Didnt get any papers, they all have been destroyed or lost...
Interesting that I found out, was that they built RX-2 alot. Way more than 616, Capella or 1600. :)
I bought it :) Pretty much good condition, and i think i`ll use it on the road next summer until i have finished another project.
Here is a couple of pics:
