- Every car guy has a car that just tugs at our inner workings. It's our dream cars, the cars we grow up wishing we had, or the cars that just call out to us. My car has always been the FD RX-7, it is my unicorn. But when it comes down to it as much as I love that car, it really boils down to anything Rotary. I just plain and simple love Rotary cars.
One of my best friends sat down with me recently to discuss his 1972 Mazda RX-2 Sedan. Which is hands down one of the cleanest sedans I have ever come across. I've watch Damian build many cars over the years, but I have to say I think this is the happiest with a car I have ever seen him.
Your video brings back memories. When I was in high school my father got a red 4 door RX-2 like yours for me to drive. The rotary engine was loads of fun, and back in the 1970s it was a fast car. Once you learned how, you could sneak up on your friends and make it backfire scaring the pants off of them. One brilliant feature of the car that I have never seen on any other, no matter how costly or luxurious, is the instrument area air vents. There is a small knob that allows you to send two small streams of unheated outside cool air through the steering wheel to the drivers face. So during winter when you have the heat cranking, instead of getting fatigued the driver can get the perfect amount of cool fresh air to their face.
It's always fun to run into people who had these cars when they were younger! I believe Damian's car still has those vents you are talking about. :)
SiRMarlon Productions they do! :)
Hey my 1989 FC has that too!
Beautiful car, beautiful build. I do so wish I had my two door RX2 coupe back! Thank you SO much for preserving this unique little car!

Oliver 🙌🏽
how could they make a video like this without showing under the hood or even talking about the engine besides the fact that its a rotary? beautiful car though. maybe im missing something
At that time the motor was pretty stock. Nothing special, and not to mention the engine bay needed a little cleaning up. The car is super clean, but the engine bay needs some work.
Jack Mitchell follow @_damianazo24 to keep up. 🙌🏽
Shes a beauty mate!
Timus thank you!
This vid MUSt have been made before you met me... No VRD shout outs! LOL
Juan Alcantar you get the love all over my IG haha
You the man Juan. Thank you for taking care of me always!
Does anyone know what wheels those are???
And 13 or 14 inch?
They are 2 piece 15" Center Lock Epsilons
Thank you my friend...sweet ride :)
riverstone 1 these are actually 16's :)
They are three piece modular Epsilons. I used to work for them in the 80s. Bolting then together in the warehouse and shipping them out. He has the later versions where the “center lock” cap and cover was held down by a bolt. The early versions had their covers held down by an actual center big ‘nut’ that screwed on. But still a not a true centerlock type wheel.
We’re do you get parts rotors pads front suspension
Rock Auto
can u tell me about the suspension
Neyshla Perez feel free and reach out to Adam Bronstein. ACBRON motorsports on instagram. :)
That shirt tho...
Daniel Mateo picked it up at a Datsun swap meet actually. Lol...
wow that front right wheels has quite significant wobble.
acalthu noticed that as well during this vid, definitely got that looked at. The boys at Love20bee to the rescue.
check out my rx2 video
Australians style is no where near this, they ruin their rotaries by putting oversized wheels on, New Zealand is the only place in the world who has the best style.....
