OMFG!! I found my DREAM car AGAIN!

TRINIOUTLAW · Postby **TRINIOUTLAW** » May 24th, 2006, 10:59 am

Well here I am driving down one of the local roads here in Florida and out of the corner of my eye an image of a yellow car parked at a gas station caught my attention. The closer I got the more excited I became...I was like no this can't be...as I pulled into the gas station there it was a REAL LIFE Mazda RX-2 Capella!!! I was like no facking way... in AMERICA!! For those who have known me since TriniTuner was on the old bulletin message board will know that I have always been a big fan of the RX-2. In fact in my life time and while living home and even when I moved to the States I owned 2 of them. My first was when I had just finished school in Trinidad it was a PAA RX-2 Super Deluxe with a Streetport 13B and Holley Carb. Well offourse being young and DUMB...I gracefully handed meh padna the keys to the car after partying at his house one night....when he returned the engine was DONE! I only had the car for about a month and my grandparents had no intention of giving me any cash to repair so it was quickly SOLD! :cry:

Fast forward a few years later I had since moved to the States and now was financially secure... again an opportunity presented itself home to own my dream car again..so I jumped on it. This time I bought a PZ RX-2 RE 12A Streetport with 44 IDA Mikuni side draft..it was a blast to drive. I left the car with my uncle and only drove it for a few days when I came home. Parking became a problem at my uncles house and the car had to go..it was sold in early 2002! Anyways..enough with the stories of my life here are some pics of my DREAM CAR! Yeah...I know it need alot of restoration....but still it's a RX-2!! lol 8-)

I placed a sign on the window!! yeah..I know i'm desperate lol!

TRINIOUTLAW · Postby **TRINIOUTLAW** » May 24th, 2006, 1:50 pm

You all might know the answer to this.....is the 2nd Gen Turbo II or the 3rd Gen Twin turbo engine a direct drop into the RX-2 body? I mean I can live with some minor modifications but will it just drop in bolt up to the same engine mount locations?

Sweet great find there........... That's like me finding a Mexico escort :oops:

droppa · Postby **droppa** » May 24th, 2006, 2:31 pm

when mih bredrin had the RX-2 it was advised that the second gen engine is better.
small mods may have to be done on the rightside cause the steering system, cyah remember if is rack or box, is right there and that side of the engine is exhaust, so the turbo,DP may be in your way, heat is ah small issue................... :mrgreen:

yuh know trini..............yuh know how they like they crossbreed..................
there is one that does be in south, a silver, he gone SR20DET, buh he wukkin, and in real decent condition :twisted:

the result?

Razkal · Postby **Razkal** » August 26th, 2007, 11:00 pm

Outlaw, the series 5 engine (2nd Gen.) might be a more direct drop in...try gettin like a nose cut, cause the rack from steering box conversion will be a nice upgrade to the old arse system...worked for my 1st gen.
the series 6 adn 7 engines, the bell housing is bigger (than the ones from the 2nd gen), so you'd have to alter the car to accomodate it, unless u get a series 6/7 engine and use the gearbox from the series 5....then ur in business :twisted:

Neighbour had one a really immaculate RE, and had the entire FC rx7 suspension, rear end, steering rack as well as engine, gearbox etc...said they'd go in the car and work perfectly with minor mods...
great find and good luck with getting it man!
