Welcome to the forum from Illinois. I remember those RX2s and 3s. My buddy had a 2 sedan and I had a 3 wagon for a short time. Torqueless, yes, but they would wind out just fine, much better than any of the same sized competition from Japan at that time. Hard starting in our Chicago winters, used to squirt an extra tad of oil into the carb to temporarily bump the compression on crank.
By the time I got mine, it was pretty worn, I had a friend who was a Mazda tech at the time, he said the salespeople never told new customers how to drive them: warm up, etc. and that improper warm up was killing the seals prematurely.
