Rotary goodness....

Grrr... if only I had some place to work on my T2-swapped FC... I got two cherry JDM S5 13BTs for cheap and have yet to swap one of them in place of the overheating motor that's already there.

All those videos just make my rotary withdrawal symptoms worse...

You're welcome use my garage... in return for rotary wisdom
Disclaimer: Said garage is small, fairly cluttered, and almost in Canada.

And now, here's a crazy-ass Belgian RWD, 20B-powered Mazda3 sedan. Plenty of reason for this beastie to smile:

Oh my.... I need a box of tissues.

This one can fly.

That one may actually be louder than the prop at speed.

No kidding.

Sometimes I wonder how much thrust you could get from a properly shaped and directed exhaust system. Utilize some of that otherwise wasted energy. There certainly is a lot of it...

It's called a 'Turbocharger'

A turbocharger is a device that converts exhaust energy into broken engine parts

I am no real fan of the rotory.. but yes please. That is the kind of engine that car deserved from the very beginning

Another cool old Mazda produced film. Japanese GT racing, with plenty of Okamoto stickers. I wonder if they were a series sponsor or something..
