These are rotors for US early RX2 and RX3 twin dizzy 12A engines. I dont know the differences with the rotors for other markets, that means for engines with out thermal reactors and the other pecularities the US engines used to have.

Exactly. RX-3, some models of 818 (808),  Sept. 1973 on  RX-2 and even 616 (I guess rare cases) also.  Part number is 0881 37 191, which indicates an RX3 initial use.

The car when  was bought.




After restoration









The old engine, not properly rebuild.



The new engine when was initially installed




Here is the mud at water cells, after the failure




Ready to be assemblied

We bought some years ago this Greek market RX2 coupe, an originally 12A  twin dizzy car. The car was restored but at that time, ignorant  of AU and with limited knowledge and sources of parts,  the TD engine was not rebuild properly. About 1 year and a half ago a NOS 12A TD was bought, but due to time and mistreatment from the mechanics here, failed. After 8 months of searching for NOS parts, the engine was finally rebuilt sucessfully, and here is the car at one of her first rides.

Hi, ok then I will.

I am after any good 10A parts or a complete engine for my RX3 which is under restoration.
I am located in Greece. Please Pm or e-mail me.

Thanks.

Thanks  a lot!!!

Do you know if is somewhere (here or at other rotary related forum) posted the wiring diagram of the RHD FD?

Thanks.

No I dont. Guys from Australia and New Zealand might br more helpful to you.
I have to underline though that a fully restored Cosmo (110s), and in particular a very rare L10A car, is actually on yahoo.auctios.jp with a starting bid of 16 thousand euros and -I guess- a "buy it now" price of around 20 thousand. Cosmos are far more expensive than R130s.

I am not a native english speaker, but I dont quite understand your expression. Is this a kind of order?
Anyway, I dont count them, but the last three-four years more than 3 different R130s appeared at j-spec.improts, priced between 20 to 30 thousand Au dollars. The one for sale in Japan right now reaches 1 million yen. If you search at "ausrotary" you will find plenty of information related with cars previously for sale.

Just closed. It went for 1,600 pounds!

Look at this RX3 at ebay.uk: Not bad at all (at least better than my cars).

Is not that rare to meet a R130 for sale and their prices are quite low, comparing to 110s, probably close to a descent R100.There is one currently for sale at yahoo.auctions.jp (search under RX87).  Some months before there was one for sale by j-spec.improts.au (or something).

In Europe most R100s were sold in Switzerland, followed by Belgium and France. For sure multirotor will know if there is anything availiable. US and to a lesser extend Canada are the best places for a car to import besides AU, NZ and Japan (sorry, I forgot the RHD case).
In Greece about 20 were imported, plus one sedan (Familia Rotary SS). Although I saw this car in flesh, something like 33-35 years ago, I cant remember if it was a LHD or a RHD car. I dont know any exports for the sedan model.

I am quite surprised RX2s were imported to Italy. The only old school mazda i ever met with in Italy was a 818 coupe which I shot at Rome back in 1980. Could you please inform me in which site the 2 818s are advedtised -if they do- in order to look at their specs.

Thanks
