I used to have a 4dr. It was my first car ever, bought in 1991, bargain buy at $1400. (my first car was a 1974 12A version - quickly updated to a 13B extend port and then a 12A turbo) E: The sedan was lighter than the coupe which was why I was happy with getting a cheap sedan. I'm confused how that article starts out, did a 1971 rx3 win anything? The rx3 was the bargain basement mazda, based on the lowest spec mazda, which at the time was the 808. Only thing going for it was it was their bare bones stripper cheapest (so the lightest) model. It's news to me the '71 10A won anything, usually around Australian tracks the 'rx2' did better EG think of the 80s/90s 323, 626, 929 The rx3 was the 323, the capella/rx2 was their 626 and the rx4 was their 929. For example the RE capella (rx2) came out with the 12A and rear coil suspension, the rx3 came out with the 10a and rear leaf susp and didn't get the 12A until 1973 (I would be suprised if the RX3 won anything with the 10A) The guy's RX3 looks good, but suprised he doesn't have the handbrake/shifter console if it's a legit RX3 - 808s didn't have them either. RX3 really only became popular later here and worldwide due to the fact it was the lightest (better for drag racing) and also the 808 sold higher than capella so it was easier to find an 808 to turn into an rx808/3 than it was to find an rx2 Fo3 fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Nov 26, 2018 |

Actually the RX3 won a LOT of things. And the RX-3 actually did and still does a lot better than a RX2 does around Aussie tracks - not just due to weight, but due to the front / rear being a better match. The Coil sprung RX2 axle gives a fundamental problem in that it's so much better than the awful front end, you have huge understeer and balance issues. You have to do a lot of work to make a RX-2 really work and even probably the best known and most victorious RX2 in Aust of the them all - OZY - could get chopped by a well built RX3. https://www.shannons.com.au/club/news/mazda-rx-3-the-giant-killing-rotary-that-put-the-r-in-respect-for-rice-burners/ I rather regret selling OZY (Series 1 RX-2 coupe) now. drat thing is worth a telephone number even as a rolling shell.

RX3s with a 10A, competing against escorts, datsuns etc in class B (under 2L) didn't do so well I thought. While RX2s usually did well in the class C under 3L field in 71 and 72. RX3s didn't start beating RX2s and everyone else until they got the 12A too in 74 ish (released 73 Japan but not here until 74 I think). E: The fact the RX3 was good and won things is not new, it's the claims that the 71 10A rx3 was super winning things. That's suprising to me and I can't find anything saying that (I searched for 1971 fuji and everywhere races and results, so it's an honest question) Fo3 fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Nov 27, 2018 |

What up first car was a 74 RX-4 sedan bro! I got a poop brown one with a crumpled right fender for $300 in 1987. Drove the piss out of it and only got rid of it because I was going in the Navy. My first junk yard trip was to pull a fender and e brake cable off a 73 that was on top of a triple stack of beaters. Good times.

An RX-3 in good shape would be one of the few things I would give up my '79 RX-7 for. That one is lovely. I do have one of those plushie rotors, though.  edit: wait, actually, I don't have the rotor character, I have a plushie rotor and housing. It's actual size. And the rotor is velcroed in, so position can be changed, or displayed separately.

Likely ordered in a corporate setting, fill out this, request that, gets lost in an accounting and purchasing hole and then few days later boom, widget arrives.

That reminds me of a guy we had who kept ordering fan blades and the boss kept canceling them because we didn't need them. One of his orders got through though and they mistakenly sent a circular saw blade instead of a fan. The most deadly of fans.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Well now I'm curious, could a circular saw blade theoretically work as an overhead fan blade? If you bend the teeth a bit and spin it fast enough, sure. AFAIK, most circular saw blades meet the work at pretty much 90°, which isn’t going to move much air perpendicular to the disc.

Yeah, it would work as a really bad centrifugal fan, but not at all as an axial one.

My grade 2 teacher was one of the worst non-molester teachers to ever exist. It was a tiny school, 18 kids from grade 1 to 6, and he would drink during the mornings and fall asleep at lunch time. We would just play in the yard, and then the big kids would send us home when the (thankfully) automated bell rang for the end of the day. He once ordered a box of textbooks and hosed up the numbering on the order form. We were then duly delivered a box of brand new soldering irons.

Sup alcoholic elementary teacher buddy  In third grade I had a teacher you could describe as eccentric if you were being kind. One day she left us alone for a disturbingly, borderline irresponsible long period of time. One of the kids in my class started going through her desk drawers and found a big (1.75L) cheap bottle of scotch and a rocks glass.
