I’ve owned both an FD and an FC, and have spent countless hours wrenching on them, swapping engines, etc. I’ve always wanted an old rotary like an RX-2, RX-3, R100, because they can look awesome and they are smog exempt. I came across this RX-4 the other day and it renewed my daydreams of owning an old school rotary.

This car is owned by Juni Asuncion of JRX Rotary out in Southern California. I remember meeting Juni years ago when he lived in the Bay Area and owned a widebody FC convertible with a 13B-RE from a Cosmo. Congratulations on putting together this proper looking RX-4.
