Sam, I thought all rotary's were prefixed with an "R", because I believe in the early 80's there were 4 door sedans also called RX3, RX5. I know this cause a friend had a beat-up silver RX3? then. I think a lot of them looked all the same then - the early Corolla's, Datsun 510's and Mazda RX3 or 5 and the first generation civic.

i think you all mean to build a COMPLETELY custom drag car and stuck a mx3 shell ontop of it all.

Regardless props to the mx3 shell:D
