    I just LOVE the Rotary Capella. My dad bought a sedan in Switzerland back in 72 and we hit Austrian roads. Leaving stunned BMW and Merc drivers behind. What fun it was seeing them vanishing from the rear screen. Now living in Germany, these are impossible to find here.

    One of the many good looking cars we, in the US, never got. We dream, and our government keeps us from making that dream reality. Great shoot, Dan!

    I'm a big, huge Toyota fan! But if there's a thing that makes me tingle in joy like a freaking kid is a rotary engine! Today I saw at a red light, a 1979 light blue Mazda GLC wagon (323 in other countries) with a 13B turbo swap!! They're sound is just orgasmically, brutally and deliciously sweet!!!! LOVE ROTARIES!!!!

  • @wasabicars
    @wasabicars  11 років тому

    And I wish I'd gotten to see the interior. That looked original and pretty much prefect.

  • @taunusv4power
    @taunusv4power 11 років тому

    thank you, and don't worry, but anyways, my chassis code is (it says "frame" on the factory plate) AT-160, and the model is AT-160 BLMVF with a 1.6L 4A-GELU engine :)

    these are beautiful cars...I grew up seeing these car back in Trinidad...they're gorgeous...we didn't get a lot of 2 door cars but the few I've seen were in great shape. I wish I could import one to the States

    Wow, what a car! Being in the states we didn't get this model year Capella/RX2. Did it have a matching green interior? Never seen a green interior, wow. Loved that front end and color, great work!!

    That other car is an RX3. I think variations of that car were called Grand Familias. Unsure though.

  • @wasabicars

    I totally understand. Japanese car manufacturers are making trouble for us here too. They just want to sell more stuff. :/

  • @wasabicars
    @wasabicars  11 років тому

    You'd never seen one? Wow. To be honest, I don't recall seeing Capellas with this updated front in Australia (they may have been there though.) The front of the rusty 4-door I recall seeing a lot of.

  • @wasabicars

    It's the model of carburettor that's on his engine. (It's 48 IDA, not 481DA) On another note, it's kinda strange to see that he's retained the REAPS exhaust. :-?

    Hahaha, no worries. I hope your exams went well. About parts, I really have no idea. It's like people don't repair their cars here. Of course, some (probably many) do but I don't see it happening. What's your Celica's chassis code again?

    I always love the rotary mazdas! Specially the r100 the rx2 and the rx3. Oh and don't forget the rx4 sweet! I use to own a 1985 rx7 gsl-se,I loved that car! It's been about 23 years that I got rid of it, and I really regret it! I was mint condition with only 25 thousand miles on it! Kind of like a charcoal black color with red leather interior. All original.

  • @christee2908
    @christee2908 5 років тому

    This was my first car, bought it brand new in a brown sh*t colour but not with a rotary engine in 1976. It had a 4cyl -1600cc under the hood. Sold it after 3 years and around 110000km. To much problems and repair cost with the engine, and also some signs of rust. In here it was not named Cappella but Mazda 616 Coupé.

  • @jasoncarpp7742
    @jasoncarpp7742 11 років тому

    Sweet looking Mazda Acapella! I've always liked Mazdas of the 70s. I think it has a better looking front end styling than the car to its right, the Mazda Luce? Is that what is next to it? Maybe not Good Shit, but certainly Great Shit :). Thanks for posting such awesome cars. See you.

  • @netmatrix75
    @netmatrix75 11 років тому

    I like this car. My friend has one. But it came with a 4 cylinder engine. Why the owner is proud of the Weber carb? Because it makes AWESOME SOUND!! The front of the Capella is nicer than the RX3. But from the rear 3/4 windows to the back, an RX3 is better looking.

  • @banpeinet
    @banpeinet 11 років тому

    Actually it doesn't have to do anything at all with cars. Basically it refers to a well known Japanese car manufacturer that used the SX acronym for one of their most popular models.
    So if GS-II stands for Good Shit Too, then GSX could stand for Good SeX. ;)

(computer class), another thing, I hope you don't mind: my Celica's blinkers are not in good shape, because they broke 10 years ago, and I need the front ones, and also, those "twin cam 16" labels at side... do you know any place in Japan to find that stuff? because you don't find the beer bottle colour here, just the amber ones, and they are usually broken, to tell my uncle and get them there :\
