Datenvy94 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Two classics that are fast as hell. My question is has there ever been any form of rivalry between the 510 faithful and the Mazda beleivers? Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 has there ever been any form of rivalry between the 510 faithful and the Mazda beleivers? I never heard of it. Maybe six people arguing which is better. 510s with Mazda engines are no more rare than RX2s with stock engines. They get along well. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yeah, I've seen one RX2 up close, one at the Oregon Trail Rally in '04. Other than that, harder to find than hen's teeth. Quote Link to comment

DREWSDIME Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 There are quite a few RX2 and RX3's out here in SoCal there is a small group that comes to all the Eagle Rock swap meets they are nice if you like rotary motors Im not much of a fan. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 The 510s are alright if you like that kind of boxy styling. The RX2 is sporty looking, everybody loves them. The RX3 is my favorite because it is smaller and lighter, but doesn't look as good as the RX2. And the power is a nice suprise, if you haven't driven one you don't know how much nicer it is than a piston engine. Back in the day they used as much gas as a camaro. Speaking of which, that may be why they beat camaros. Takes more gas to make all that power. If I understand correctly, the big rivalry was between RX and Celica in the grand prix racing. My RX story is about a young man that worked with my Dad. He had a brand new Rotary Pickup and took it up in the mountains around Grass Valley and was tooling around up there. The power was good, climbed the steep trails no problem. But just like a chevy, he found that riding the clutch would burn it up. Man that was embarrasing. He had to replace the clutch but learned his lesson about driving a stick transmission. I wish I had that truck now. Quote Link to comment
