Here's more pics lol, did I mention I love the old skool stuff hehehehe

 

Ahhhh I Remember It Now...a Brown Rx-3 Wagon(with A Green Rear Door! Don't Ask!). A Car My Mother Loved...was Quite Fast And Handled Well...

I Love My 8!

 

In my opinion the Rx-3 was the best of the pre 7 Rx's. The Rx-2 was lighter, but had less power and a little more blocky look, the 4's and 5's became Americanized as stated in an earlier reply in this thread.

The 3's had the old rotary guard round tail light cluster, fantastic overall proportions, and basically embodied the Rx spirit very well. Even the Rx-3 wagon was a pretty neat piece of kit.

You can still catch Rx-3's in action during the Speedvision broadcasting of the SCCA runoffs every fall. They're in the GT-3 class (along with a gagle of Rx-7's). A few years back a pretty accomplished driver almost won the event in a red Rx-3. The fully Toyota backed Celica came from the back of the pack to win eventually. Which in amateur racing is bullshit if you ask me... why is there factory support of that nature. Anyway, I digress.

I've attached a pic of a nice race prepped Rx-3.

Personally, I think there's a great opportunity for Mazda to bring the rotary to the Mazda3 platform, create a two door body, rear wheel drive and bring the Rx-3 back. Some oversized fender flares a rotary and meaty tires would bring even larger swarms to that car.

 

I agree, the RX3 was the best pre 7 and the 110s is equally the best (not sure how that works but here is a pic).

 

Ahhh yes the 110s, mmmm.....i like!
