Good chance of that. Car was advertised with a ported 13B and five-speed box.

Week 44 and a blue metallic project that was advertised for sale in the US in 2018. New owner's first challenge would be to find a new rear window. It has the intermediate upgrade US bumpers. Not seen very often, they are not completely unattractive, but certainly no improvement on the originals. A bit too Karmann Ghia, perhaps?  :D

Racing pics for Week 45. Competing in Class B (1,3 - 2 liter class), the Rx-2s came second and third in class and 13th and 14th overall in the 1972 500 mile race at Bathurst.

More racing. This, the 46th week of 2021, we present the 1972 Fuji Masters 250, won by a certain T. Masuda in the blue Rx-2 number 32 (what a rhyme!), who brilliantly outsmarted GT-Rs and Rx-3s alike. A special prize (in hard kudos) is offered for anyone who can inform us of Mr Masuda's first name!

Oh, just ordinary black magic, that.  :P
Top one by googling "1972 Fuji Masters 250" the rest are screenshots from the YT-vid.   :))

re japi

Even tho I am big fan of rotarys, I would love to get one of those Skylines. That Hakosuka Skyline sounds awesome

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

This week's Rx2 pic takes the infamous big-wheel-mod styling a bit too far, so adding a video of a beautiful, white Japanese spec 1971 coupé for the sake of balance.

For Week 48 we turn to the 1973 model year. Not that many 1973-models of the Rx2 in Norway, but this one is a gem. When the pics werte taken it was for sale (I got there too late, unfortunately). Back then it needed a bit of TLC. The car sold again this year, apparently. It has a 13B turbo – nice to see such a modest tailpipe on it, considering what's under the hood. A real "sleeper" in a stunning colour.

Another 1973 Coupé with a 13B. (Hey, that's a rhyme!). This one was for sale in the US last November.

This stunning flare yellow 1973 coupé was for sale in Denmark back in 2017 (yes, Malcolm, more yellow!) Asking price was a reasonable €18,000. Hope it went to a good home.
