Damn, just remembered, few days before RS10, we visited Haywards. I was so "shocked", kind of nirvana, so I forgot to take any pics. :D Visiting Carls shop was amazing, housing, plates gearboxes everywhere. And 20B PP near toilet :D Cosmo 110, fex RX-3´s, few FD´s, and then there was this orange beast! They were getting her ready for Santa Pod. After visit, me and bro were laughing that why didnt no one take picture from us. I bet we looked like morons, kinds in candy shop. Dad said that we are idiots :DHad nice chat with George "Hardcore" in Haywards. Forgot to that him for that... :)
Btw, what happened to this car? Is Conac still selling it?
Wow Clive, why didnt I see that. Looks awesome. :)

No ideas what the spoiler was as I found it in a shop in Ibiza and brought it back on the plane as hand luggage ;D(its still in my garage )
Here's a couple more pictures, including Dave Collins "as new" Gen 1 that he still has all these years on.
japi , do you mean you can buy cars in colours that are not yellow :57: (we also have a Vauxhall Adam that's yellow ;D)
I won't see the FD went to off to Greece :(

Yes sir, I have heard rumours that there is more colors than yellow :D

Here we go, a picture of the engine bay that I kitted out with a Garrett GT35 turbo,which was one of the first ever here in the UK.
Only took it up the strip once back in 2003 or 2004 and it ran consistent 12.1's which I found out later was the fastest Rotary in Europe at the time!
Always remember Tim at RX-Motors thought it was unfair as he knew I won a drag racing championship years before in a Ford Mustang ;)
Jon, spot on with the racing era, this was one of the crash helmets I kept and still have from the seventy's, had many over the years though as I started at Lydden Hill when I was 16 in 1973

Just modified the post above that mentions the Mustang pictured below, I also owned the other car that is in the picture another time which was and still is famous and is fully restored and was even an exhibit at Goodwood this year,
To answer, what have I raced/
All tin tops except for an excursion into Moto Cross with a Kwaker , Minis Anglias, Escorts, Vauxhall's even a Toyota 1000, O'Yes, I nearly forgot and some weird RX-8 :)) plus the cars in the picture

Nice. As I have said before, I have lots of friends in Mustang and Ford scene. They dont even realize what a crappy car Mustang is :D I hate Mustangs... And Escorts :D they are too over rated and expensive, for reason that simply cant understand...
However, one of my passions is old school racing. I just love storys about what happened back in good old days...

Blimey Dave, that picture of our old EGI must be something like 18 years ago !.
Yes I think it was 1997 RX-7 Club event at Jimmy's. Certainly before I had a digital camera hence the scan. Good to see the picture of Henry Hirise above, never knew you had owned it at one time, I checked out latest restoration pictures and they have done a great job. Brought back some good memories from the late 70's and a misspent youth reading CC and Street Machine and attending Speedeworth Superstox meetings. Must admit my favourite car was the Night Fever Mach 1 once it was upgraded to include the Superbird style rear wing. Took seeing GP B RX-7 on the 1984 RAC Rally for the rotary bug to really bite though and for me to see the light, but as you know I have also satisfied my SBF need as well but perhaps in a more appropriate car than a show Mustang!

Post by: clive on November 30, 2015, 08:00:56 AM
What is that rear spoiler?
Is that car your Dave?
Confusing I know as its not yellow ;) it was my old EGI now sadly scrapped after my god son who bought it from me killed it.
Wing was a one off made by a friend of mine
Hopefully Dave will put up two quick picks of the cars he currently owns
In its day Henry Hirise was one of only two American Gasser style racers over here and its had many engines over the years. It had an engine out of a Pantera when I had it!,

Todays quick vid:
About a year ago I started to hunt down and search rotarys which have races here in Finland. I found out that canadian-finnish gentleman called Toivo Heinonen imported his R100 to here and raced with it few year in 90´s. It had 2 rotor and 3 rotor in it. In last spring after long research I found out that car was imported back. Also I found company called Force-Fed Performance which help Toivo with his cars. I messaged them and chatted a bit. He said that Toivo doesent have R100 anymore and didnt know what happened to it. He promised to contact me when he knows...
Little R100 clip
Then I found out that Toivo has new beast. F-Fp has been tuning it, even though Toivo has build it...
Ok, then that funny part...
That dude is 81 years old!!!

That is fantastic, just shows you age is no barrier if you have the passion for Rotary'sThats true. When you get to rotary scene, there is no way out ;)
Yes, that Curran brothers car is just mental :D Lately I have been checking what those Puerto ricans are doing, and they have just crazy fast cars there. Unfortunatly I cant understand what they are saying :/

Btw Clive, one dude contacted me asking:
-how long did you hunt your car and how long you builded it?
-how many RX-2´s, 3´s, 4´s is in UK?
-and in Europe?
As far as we know, mine is the only one actively used in the UK and Kees thinks maybe in Europe at present, but there are 5 others that I know of sadly various states of disrepair requiring work.
Next year there will be another stock series 2 13B one in from Australia needing work, the guy is really serious and looks like he will be paying around 12 / 13K to own one that needs work.
I met him when the car was on show a couple of weeks back, turns out he has full blown trailer queen Fords (he had one on the Meguires stand) but he is so smitten with the RX-4 from seeing it last year he is prepared to let one of is Fords go.
My RX-4 took many many years to find after falling in love as a 15 year old kid working at a Mazda dealership as an apprentice,
The car was a lucky find due to a chance conversation with an ex works Mazda Rally driver who still had his departed Dads RX-4 hiding inside his house! This why to this day the car has never been welded :)
Below is a whole thread about the car and my personal favorite quick pic taken be Malcolm (Casey) a while back .

No v8s allowed. I think most manufacturers will go v6 for their biggest engines into the future. Fords GT is now a v6. I love v8s though, a don't think many things sound as unique as a prostock v8, it's a very strange hollow growl
Yes, that is true. Nowadays all supercars are using v6 allready... :/

I enjoyed my 10+ years with rotaries but there are so many +++'s with the BMW
Hard hat time
an M3 .. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm very nice :)

When I desided that I´m going to Uk and Westbury area, I asked Jon that is there some tattoo artist that he can recommend. He suggested Matt King in Westbury. Immediately I started to check out his work and noticed that his style is a bit unusual. But I really liked it, and started to plan if he could make a rotary engine tattoo with his style and artistic view...
Well, he did like that idea. Unfortunatly, when I booked hotels, I realized that at this trip I can not afford tattoos. Stupid expensive hotels in UK ;)
Today I saw this at Matt´s facebook page. I know that there is some star wars fans here ;) This is the best star wars tattoo that I have ever seen! :P
And now you understand that I´m really pissed off cause I cant get ink from Matt!!! :'(

The 1969 Hardie-Ferodo 500 not only heralded the Bathurst debut of burgeoning Japanese car manufacturer Mazda with its R100 coupe, but it was also the first time spectators heard the bizarre exhaust note of a rotary-powered production car at Mount Panorama.

So how about this 20B trike :wee_hee:
Post by: exiled-viking on April 16, 2016, 06:28:59 PM
Still waiting on details and photos. The car is located near LA and, of course, "needs full restoration". The current owner is looking to sell rather than restore, so as soon as I have more info it will be posted here. From what I recall without looking up the data, the car was Mazda 12A powered, linked to a Porsche 914 5-speed transaxle.

Base on a Nova Shell I wish I had kept mine as this would have been hell of a build as the body weight is 1 5th of the RX~8

Red one is fully track spec with supercharger. Grey one is, actually I dont know, but it sounded awesome NA. And color is gorgeous...

Rx-8 was at track alot. But brakes were fading. And we suspect that engine was its last leg... :/

It was 1 of the two originally sold by Mazda dealer FD´s here. Absolutely stunning LHD -94´. Now owned by Kanu, well known engine builder here. Now running streetport, Holset and Vipec, about 360bhp, 400NM @ 1,1bar boost...

No never heard anything.
Seen this beautifully car close up as we went to the TWR auction at Brands around 10 years ago, at the time I slipped an MRC card under the seat despite heavy security ;) but never heard from the new owner. I was told that it went of to Belgium.
The other BTCC Gen 1 RX-7 at the auction was bought at auction for 12K, now used at Goodwood FOS and the revival has been conservatively valued at £100K plus ,
On a different note Jon, other than Coombe, i'm told there is another track-day race track down near you somewhere, any idea's ??

My car must be in the Brooklands pic but I can't see it - what year was it Clive?
Good to see you on the site John.
Unfortunately as the picture has been transferred from an old computer I cant pick up a date, 2008 ??
Here's another quick pic for you. :)

I think you should still have me email address
Thanks

I can confirm the Brooklands pic was from 2009.
Post by: johnf on February 21, 2017, 07:06:31 PM
Nice to see my Cosmo in the 'pic of the day thread' if only by default with Clive winding me up.
As for the site, I still visit most days. So that'll be 15 years now.
Post by: clive on February 21, 2017, 10:13:47 PM
Some of you have seen this car, which I believe is the very best "as new looking" standard example of a UK spec FD owned by a friend of mine which is also the ex Mazda Press car.

Went to a collector who flew in from Germany and drove it back.
I didn't know he was a collector until after he bought it when he showed me photos of all the other Mazdas he had in a big garage, had I known the price may well have gone up.

This was probably the first tripple rotor in the UK. The poor thing ran 13 times up the strip, again and again and all in one go and fried itself to death.
Last I heard it apparently sold for 5K---------- a few years ago and haven't heard of it since.

The R080 was a car ahead of its time but a lot of the first batch of cars lost engines in as little 1000 miles with many ending up with V4 ford lumps installed , personally I have had people walk onto the stand over the years to rubbish our cars because they are convinced that because the R080 was no good our Mazda's are useless as well !!!I have seen a few over the last few months, you're right, definitely way ahead of its time. Still can't get my head around the automatic clutch.
Mazda was well represented on track with a number of 8s doing us proud....

Yes, I have thought that too. But when Ford owned Mazda, they Ford tryed to force them to shut down developement... and that is one reason why I hate Fords ;)
To my knowledge, Ford had two working consepts. Other one is still alive, but other one has wanished somehow...
Allegedly, Ford bought into Mazda to gain Skyactiv inlet technology, but come the crash Mazda bought themselves out because with Ford nearly going down the pan it could have meant the end of Mazda.
Moving onto 2017 ------------ Toyota now have a stake in Mazda. We shall have to wait and see if that one works this time ;)

Allegedly, Ford bought into Mazda to gain Skyactiv inlet technology, but come the crash Mazda bought themselves out because with Ford nearly going down the pan it could have meant the end of Mazda.
Moving onto 2017 ------------ Toyota now have a stake in Mazda. We shall have to wait and see if that one works this time ;)

Sorry for oversize pic. Can anyone tell me how to avoid this
Hi Martin
If you upload a pic then the size needs to be no more than 1024 pixels wide. You can use a picture editor to reduce the pixel width or, a trick that works for me (if using a Windows PC) is right click on the photo and choose "send to.....mail recipient", you should get a box pop up asking if you want to resize the pic. Medium: 1024x768 is fine. Click attach and a blank email pops up with the reduced pic. Right click on the pic and save it to your PC and use this version to upload. Sounds complicated, but just a few mouse clicks needed.
The other method is to use a (free) hosting site. There are loads to choose form - I now use Flickr (don't use Photobucket!!) Flickr has a "share" option to generate "BBCode" (Bulletin Board Code) and when chosen, allows you to select the pixel dimensions and presents you with the code to simply copy and paste in here.
Here's an example, since we are in "TODAY'S QUICK PIC" :)
Here it is linked to Flickr:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4138/4916431824_653fd07b4f_b.jpg)
And here is the the original pic and the smaller version using the email trick

The largest Wankel engine was built by Ingersoll-Rand; available in 550 hp (410 kW) one rotor and 1100 hp (820 kW) two rotor versions, displacing 41 liters per rotor with a rotor approximately one meter in diameter, it was available between 1975 and 1985. It was derived from a previous, unsuccessful Curtiss-Wright design, which failed because of a well-known problem with all internal combustion engines: the fixed speed at which the flame front travels limits the distance combustion can travel from the point of ignition in a given time, and thereby limiting the maximum size of the cylinder or rotor chamber which can be used. This problem was solved by limiting the engine speed to only 1200 rpm and the use of natural gas as fuel; this was particularly well chosen, as one of the major uses of the engine was to drive compressors on natural gas pipelines.

Mercedes C 111
The second revolutionary feature of the C 111 was hidden under its skin. The first experimental car of 1969 was powered not by a reciprocating-piston engine but by a Wankel – or rotary-piston - engine. At the time, many manufacturers were interested in Felix Wankel’s unconventional propulsion system. Mercedes-Benz, too, had been experimenting with Wankel engines – KP through to KC series – since 1962. However, the Wankel engine was to be extensively road-tested before being fitted in production cars. The last Mercedes with a rotary-piston engine from this series was the four-rotor DB M950 KE409 of the C 111-II in 1970.
The performance of the C 111 even with the three-rotor engine was convincing right from the start. In 1969, the Wankel engine developed 280 hp from 600 cubic centimeters of chamber volume per rotary piston and gave the car a top speed of 260 km/h; with this engine, the car accelerated from standstill to 100 km/h in five seconds. The C 111-II of 1970 was powered by a large four-rotor Wankel engine which developed 350 hp and gave the car a top speed of 300 km/h. The second C 111 accelerated from standstill to 100 km/h in highly respectable 4.8 seconds. While some of the engines in the C 111-I cars had still featured dual ignition which was difficult to adjust, the four-rotor engine was equipped with single ignition exclusively. Both engines were direct-injection units.

Yes it is the original one apparently. There was only one I believe.The Rotary Corvette at the Rotechnics Open Day 2009. There is an article on this in the current Octane magazine
Is this really original one???
The Octane article says that an original GM rotary engine has been found and Tom Falconer has it, so we can hope that it will be even more original in the future.
The rotary corvette or GM rotary engines or even GM holding a Wankel license does not get a mention in the Jan Norbye Wankel book, but that was published in 1971. GM bought a Wankel license in 1970 and the rotary corvette was 1974, so GM may have been too late to get a mention

Yesterday I was talking to UK friend in facebook and I started to "teach" him some finnish language and/or mentality in motorsports. Because we are petrolheads, we do have some names/phrases for moments even. Or it could just be that we are weird ;)
https://www.facebook.com/Bathurst12Hour/videos/2129266007110671/
So, when you are racing and things are getting out of your hands...:
-We have a word for those kinds of situations. Its called jännä kakka hetki. For english it means scary shit moment. Basically it is that moment when you are unable to control things, but you realize that you are in deep shit, and some poo is starting to come out without you unable to control your bowl. For some reason jännä kakka is very common language/vocabulary in our motorsports...
-Other situation usually linked to jännä kakka moment is called hartia lukko. It means shoulder lock. Basically it means that you becoming a passenger in the car that you are driving, just because your skill level ends and your car plunges into forrest doing 170kmh. So hartia lukko is that moment/thing that happens just before jännä kakka, you realize that there is no way to survive that corner, theres nothing you can or could do, car is rapidly going for its destruction
-Then offcourse becomes legendary perä tielle moment. For that we Finns are very proud of... That is more difficult to explain, but it means "rear to the road". When cars were rwd, they needed to get grip so that they could glimb from deeps of the forest. Hope you understand ;)
So, perä tielle moment is when car is plunging to forest, rolling over, some parts still in the air. Some spectator dude shouts perä tielle, it means that all spectators starts running towards still rolling car. They are running for it to help it to continue racing as soon as possible, even though car might be unable to race, ever again
Hope you enjoy this little lesson :))

Yep i agree....you dont deliberately smash up sports cars...especially an fd....pair of cretins.
How can you be car enthusiast and be willing to be involved in wilful destruction like that.
I know the old topgear smashed up cars but they where pretty much old bl junk rovers cavaliers etc...again not in my dna...
The fd is in the uk...i wonder where...needs a quarter panel...pretty big job, ive done 1 happy todo another....

First time of seen top gear for some years now, and was looking forward to it, was all going so well till they wrecked 'Clives' FD
bit miffed to think i paid for it to happen with my Licence fee.
anyhow it inspired me to come and have look back on here and might even take the car out this week !

Nice to see you posting Paul :13:
I haven't looked at TG since the first couple of episodes with the new set up last year. I hated Chris Evans on that show and couldn't watch it any more. Following the posts on here I made a point of starting to watch last weekend's episode and have watched it to the point where I think the carnage may be about to happen. I had to stop and take a phonecall. the program was "OK" up until that point, not sure if I want to go back and watch the rest just yet though!

He told me that he has his FB, with same body kit than my bros car, almost ready to race next season. This year, after ten years, it will be running with 13B PP NA engine. But thats another story...
That FB had BP turbo engine, and now he is swapping it to his new project. Which is this:
FC with original molds from IMSA GTO!!!!
Dude has FB GTU and FC GTO body molds, both original, both only ones in this fricin continent!!!!

https://www.facebook.com/jarijaakkola/ cars and owners facebook site. Rallycross car, made for FIA Touring car rules. Car runs massive diff/and axle (from old Jag I think), Sainz seqvential 6speed box and 13B PP from Jörgen Blennow/RotaryPerformanceSweden. For some reason it has been running low on power. Me and bro thinks that exhaust, especially collector is too small/short...

Oh my god...thats horrific...hoping he has some sort of guarantee!!!Nope. Standard engine and his friend built the car with him who owns a garage, did the cage etc.

He’s going for forged internals over sized pistons, proper gated sump etc. So he’s blowing another load of money on it.
He’s a bit stuck with what to do because his rules restrict him. If he goes for a bigger motor, 2.4 litre he gets put into a class which is full of turbo Imprezas so to be competitive he will have to spend a huge chunk of money to just keep up with them seeing as they are 4wd etc. And he’s only fwd and no turbos
I think he’s over revved it, and it has had oil starvation. I’d like to see what his crank looks like

Oh my god...thats horrific...hoping he has some sort of guarantee!!!Heard from him today that it’s all his own fault, too harsh on the down shifts so I reckon he has down shifted waaaay too early and pinged the rpm of the engine over the Rev limit, spun a bearing and carried in driving until it melted

Exedy carbon single plate clutch and and exedy stage 1 friction plate from another clutch I had for the FD.
I think a combination of my car had more hp than we thought it had and also the clutch being adjusted incorrectly by someone I had a lot of faith in their experience working with these cars every day. I remember driving it, getting it warmed up and then when trying to lay any power down it used to slip really bad around 5,000 rpm and the engine would hit the limiter almost immediately!!
Fixed it by getting my old exedy stage one friction plate converted by a clutch company too have really aggressive ceramic paddles on. That bugger never slipped but it was hard work in traffic!

How did you get on Grant? Good day?Yeh it was really good! Lots of excitement, few crashes and spins!
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
The touring cars were a lot louder than I was expecting which was good and the porches were a lot faster and quieter than I was expecting!! 485hp NA! Form a 4 litre flat 6.
Me and my dad agreed that if we had the money to go racing it would be in the Porsche cup.
Was a bit cold but the sun made a couple of appearances. I forgot my coat so had to borrow my dads jumper! Didn’t take any other photos as we were enjoying the racing so much, think my son enjoyed it a lot too but he thought the BTCC was too loud as he has sensitive hearing being so young.
All the races were dry races too so they weren’t half going for it, but when they went onto the green stuff they had no control.
One of the clios went off backwards and hit the wall really hard near the old chicane causing him to spin about three times. Luckily the driver got out just fine but I bet he will be really sure in the morning as he had a really hard impact backwards. His car was really mangled, no amount of buffing would sort that!

I was chatting to Clive at Tunerfest (Brands Htach) yesterday and we were comparing notes about when we first drove there. I've dug out my pic of a "Corporate Day" I attended in 1978 at Brands. We were meant to be driving clapped out, rev-restricted "school" Formula Fords for the session, but we saw a novice, taking his ARDS test in one, come off and destroy it in a tyre wall. That meant they were short of a car in the fleet so had to roll out a race prepped FF to make up the numbers. Yours truly got the lucky straw and, after a short session with an instructor in an M3, I was let loose with this beauty with a stern warning not to bin it! I, and the car, survived. I remember that experience vividly. The noise, the view over the wheels, the vibration, the stiff and very agricultural gearchanges - it got me hooked on going out on track, even though it took a few years to do trackdays regularly :)How did that new wing mount worked?

Lol, I was born 78 so I wasnt racing back then...
But I really love those old photos. Back then, especially 30's-50's, gents had balls...

Nice thought Roy, but been there, done that one and got the trophy (from Sterling Moss) for a Drag Racing championship winning 5 of 7 rounds ;)-------got bored by the end of the season and bought a circuit racer. ;D
All these years on, an old mate is in the process of buying the same model and getting the same guy to paint it as a tribute car.
Across the back it had the strap line that many took a while to figure out/

How many remember this, the just married couple off down the strip @ Rotorstck8 and she was still in her wedding dress!I remember that. Feedaddict and feed chick. I remember your commentary of the race, you said “ they both had won†which meant one won the race but the other made a faster pass.
Feed chick started doing a bit of drag racing but I can’t remember if they got it running right.
I do remember that she had cancer
and it was terminal? haven’t been on other forum for a long time now either so...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, Feed couple. Finally I got change to see those cars and met them at Billing. RS11, 2015 maybe...? Lovely couple and awesome cars. Dont remember what times that black car runs, but quite fast... Terminal cancer? Oh dear...How many remember this, the just married couple off down the strip @ Rotorstck8 and she was still in her wedding dress!I remember that. Feedaddict and feed chick.

Such a shame, also because this may well be the last picture we ever see of the car on the club as Chris is not a member of MRC.

It will always be "your" car Tony, and it's a shame you had to part with it. I'm pleased though that it has gone to another active Rotary enthusiast so it will not disappear somewhere, never to be seen again. I look forward to seeing it again this year sometime :)
A final "well done" though, for creating such a unique Rotary :notworthy:
Agree with Casey, when you put your heart and soul in putting your stamp on a vehicle, regardless of whether you own it or not, it's still a part if you.
The disheartening aspect is when you see it years later and they undo all your efforts and you think WTF have you done???
That said, it's a very impressive looking machine, and a well suited colour, I hope the new owner gives it the care it deserves. :icon_thumright:

The New Project in 18 months looks like being A highly modded MX5 just waiting to fill the new car Bank balance to 50K cause so far in modded parts and upgrades I'm on 40k.... thats not including the supercharger But the plan is to buy all the add on / upgrades and supercharger in one hit then book a week in my favourite hotel which is a straight walk across the road from Bespoke performance and fit it all on there I think Clive will need to start me an Order book end of next year 8) 8) 8) sorry not staying Rotary But At least its a Mazda Zoom Zoom
A Big Thank You For All the Support, Help and encouragement Over the Last 14 Years I think its all been worth While she Won 40 trophy's And I think with the new build I should be able to get a few more :D ;)

I drove that blue FD last year around a disused airfield on the East coast, mostly stock low mileage JDM...........really nice.
Could have done with a RX4 & a couple of FCs in the picture.
My RX-4 should have been in the picture ::)
I had been out on the wet track in the morning and parked the car in the pits and went off for something to eat during the lunch time shoot which nobody told me about, so wasn't in the shot. :(

Dude who filmed and produced it, have no interest about cars, but has massive passion for photography. And I think it shows, in positive way...

That looks the dogs danglies!!! Please tell me this is photo shopped though.
I can only imagine these cars sell in the region of 6 figures for a nice example today. I know Ive carved up a Lotus for my benefits, but this is like winning the lottery and setting fire to all your cash!!!
Still looks cools as though!

Not a fan of e types ( I know) I don't understand all the hype, the lines don't float my boat, it's too "heavy" on the back end visually.
Mucho respect to putting that engine in and sticking a middle finger up to the purists
That's been up shelsley too I think
As for the kitten...... A lightweight car needs a lightweight engine.... Love yank power, but it shouldnt be over 50% of the weight if the car lol

Post by: re japi on March 30, 2019, 05:39:19 AM
So, we have little problem. Friend rebuilded 13B PP engine. Rotors are Renny rotors now...
It had really long intake with 62 throttlebody. Now it has 50.(unfortunately I dont have picture now)
Header is abit different too... (shown at that pic)
Those are 3 changes made to this thing. So, problem is that it not making enough power. Power and torque curves are identical with previous setup, but just much lower!
Could this header collector be a problem? Well, I know it is but
Also, what best lengt for intake? And how we can calculate optimal for our setup?

Hey jarno, long time no see.
I can't give any advice but I have seen this page before which may help.
http://www.racingbeat.com/mazda/performance/rotary-tech-tips/configurations.html
All I know is the 8 engine is less responsive to exhaust mods because of the side port.
Hopefully the link gives some guidance

Ancient roman empire bronce coins and buckle from 1st century area. Found in UK actually
Silver 1788 Hovenschoild, Stockholm pocket watch. And it actually tics over
And H. Zimmer, Berlin 1870 sword...
Damn Im happy

There was some cars that I havent ever seen, and will not see again, ever...
First, few of those rotarys were amazing. Merc 4 rotor, this Luce and RX-5, Citroën, NSUs. First time I saw NSU engine in stand, looked intersting...
Then, other cars. Words cannot describe it. So much, different kinds, different era... "Cruising park for customers" was amazing too. At the field with other cars were frickin Sheldy Daytona Coupe!
My absolute favor was old cars. Like pre ww1. Amount and quality of those!
That even was by far best car show I have ever been!

But theres a bit of a "thing" going on recently, admittedly more from me about "different" cars or thinking outside the box.
This is definitely different.

This car is legendary. Used to brake lap times at almost every track they visited...
Now, few years has been some problems. New, bigger engine(used to be 2l 4cyl Nissan with massive turbo), and new segvential gear box. Ecu is linked to basically everything, and controls some weird stuff...
Seqvential g box, Halteck, carbonfibre, Nissan 4.5l V8 with two turbos...
Problem is, believe it or not, it has too much power! 700nm @ 2500rpm gives you some idea. And engine revs up to 10500 if needed...
And this car is "home built" by owner him self! About 15 years of development, testing, braking barriers, learning...makes this beast truly one of the fastest timeattackers in the world(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190612/8f1c5fe3a4c19d995b2598ef013208ef.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190612/5cddf4c3168e56c5a0851b17cc53bcd8.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190612/4671f77a3816dee799eded6bd78b42e2.jpg)

My driver was 13th overal with his Fiat X1/9. Didnt get front tyres to grip in 1st and 2nd heat. 3rd was ok. We didnt manage to semis but, important points from heats are essential at this point. Last event was shit and we hadnt any points...
Anyhoo, rotarys...
1 pic Tuomas Venäläinen was very fast during day. This engine is build from "dragrace" engine by my friend here in Finland, and its power curve is abit different. When it gets to power are, damn there is power! Unfortunately, there where heat issues. Engine was at 100C all the time. Althought I have said to Tuomas many times about Rotarys massive heat issues, they didnt adress that until Heat 3. They modified bonnet and mask to get some fresh air to engine. During this process, his mechanic made changes to ecu. They have new ecu, MaxEcu and mechanic made a mistake. Ecu went to safe mode and didnt go above 3300rpms at Semi. I really really felt sorry for Tuomas as his my friend and Im one reason they got rotary...
(pic is from JT. Kuvat. Fi)
Second pic:
Two rotary Starlets. Both engine built by Swede Blennow. On left white is Haapala's and on the right is Matikainen's. Both were fast. Haapala is still learning his car. They made changes to rear suspension, but now problem is final drive. Too long...
Matikainen was also fast. He is still learning his car. Remember this car is one of the most winning rallycross car in Finnish national series. End of the day, he said everything was fine, but he is getting too old, young lads are just too fast

I wanted to do something different. And idea was born when I saw your friends "watercolor" style. That combined to drawing and caricature style.
For I moment I considered photographic image. But for that, artist must be experienced and knows his stuff.
My left arm is for blackgrey stuff and my right is for colored now... :)

Good find about the block, I really butchered the one I had .
Not only did I cut the gear box lugs off, I also used Cosworth "leyland" pistons which had the wrong gudgeon pin height, so I stuck it in a mill and took 1/2 off the deck height then shortend the head bolts, on top of that, to get 1700cc with a 1500cc stroke crank I had liners fitted that were so big that when you took the water pump out the walls of the block had gone and you could only see the liner!
That's it, let's get back to Rotary stuff

People experimenting with big horsepower v8s and the transmission couldn't keep up.
Accelerator one side of the bell housing brake on the other.
Well I don't need to mention the gory details, but when the transmission lets go the drivers end up about 10" shorter in height.

You may know this, but after Don Garlits had his accident below, he lay in his hospital bed and decided it would be safer to have the engine and transmission behind him, so the rear engined top fuel dragster was born.
I did know about a particular person, but what an horrific way to lose your feet.
Transmission still spinning and ya strapped in

The bridgeport that isn't, so early 80's IMSA said no more Bridgeports. We ask what is your definition of Bridgeport?They replied we must be able to put the point of a pencil on the edge of the port, and go all the way around the port without lifting the pencil. Picture is the Daytona winning Not Bridgeport.(IMSA outlawed all intake porting on rotaries after we won)

Arggggggggg, this is horrible, never seen this happen before :(I have be told that this usually happens when you are using wrong spark plugs in race engine that hitting +9k rpm all the time.
Dunno facts, but that why for example our rallycross drivers are using NGK 10.5s even 11s. 9 or 9.5 can do that, cause it basically "melts".
From that pic, I can only quess that it have meen running with wrong candles with some time and got abused

Ive got a 150 litre Clarke air compressor that ive had for about 10 years.
Its powered with a 16A feed with the blue and grey sockets.
On the top of the compressor is a box that controls the electric motor start up etc, that has a white button.
recent times since the air compressor been doing lots of work the white button pops out when the compressor gets close to maximum pressure before the system switches off normally.
Im not a sparky so im describing it at a thermal cut out switch. If the air pressure drops, I reset it and it kicks in again. but its becoming a pain because it doesn't shut down in the normal way and start back up automatically when the pressure is low.
So, Ive been digging around and someone (somewhere) said its a 15A cut out switch. So my question is, is this something that can break down over time and starts to go off unnecessarily ? Im hoping it is and nothing that is seizing within the pump that's making it cut out.
Its only 4 screws, I can whip the cover off and take a pic later.
Post by: boosted on October 04, 2019, 11:28:34 AM
Manual reset suggest it requires a intervention by you...clean fan of motor or oil change.
If over pressure then could just be reset off working pressure stat.

I think I may know the culprit.....
In my infinite wisdom, well that didn't last long, a few years ago I built a cabinet to house the compressor in, its sat on a plinth so I can drain the water out and it goes to the right place rather than on the floor, and lined the inside of the cabinet with dB reducing material to keep the noise down.
There's 3 large doors on the cabinet, which I could open to circulate the air but then that kind of makes a mockery of the noise insulation.
Its has only happened recently..... it could have always been the issue, but im using the compressor more these days

This car was Finn, Koiranen Motorsports. FB 2gen, with 13B PP NA Mazda Factory race engine. IMSA racer built by Tom Wilkinson Racing.
I have researched it history abit. It had quite good history allready when it came to Finland, I think it was 1985. They raced it few years here, and then it was sold to Denmark.
Moron there swapped Chevy engine to it, Mazda engine was sold to Sweden. Later whole car was sold to Sweden and someone part it out. Dont know what happened to that body, but chassis went to track race car. Was built and raced by Mohlin. Mohlin sold it about 5 years ago, dont remember that dudes name. Car is still around and race ready but not raced I think

At that point FD prices where going up, and FCs was still cheap and underestimated...
Slowly FCs grew on me. Here, FDs are actually much more common than FCs. My T2 LHD Vert is actually only one here! There is 2 RHD T2 Verts, but that other one isnt in the roads. So, when I got opportunity, I didnt think twice. I wanted FC more than FD! :D
Ofcourse, cause FB was my first love, I got to have that too. ;) FD, maybe some day...

Thats some serious aero on that
Gurney flaps on the bottom of the A pillars, probably doing something in relation to the mirrors????
More canards on the front than a pond of ducks, youll get that if you speak french
I havent got a clue on that arch on the front splitter.
Looks expensive to make and even more frustrating to replace if you stuff it into the tyres.
Very impressive tho.

1. Check with Jon before booking a track day. Make sure you’re not on the track together.
2. If you see a 7, a civic or a colt in the rear view, just move, even if they are 3 miles behind
3. Check with Jon before booking a track day.
4. Post Jon Jamie’s calming meds before he goes on a track day.

That car belonged to Finnish born Canadian, Toivo K. Heinonen. In 90s, he shipped that car to Finland and raced it here for several seasons. At one point it was running 20B PP NA engine.
Born 1933, Toivo was rotaryhead. He builded FD running 20B PP turbo when he was over 90 years old! Unfortunatly he passed away about two years ago...

No.85 and 86 Mooncraft-Mazdaspeed 737C, powered by the 13B 2-rotor engine, one of their first Group C Prototypes built for competition (C2 Class). Both finished that race, respectively, in 6th and 3rd in its class. The race was won overall by the Joest Racing’s iconic Porsche 956B with New Man clothes livery

I was offered one of these a few years ago for free but it needs a full restoration and was very rotten.

Always forget I have loads of pictures of our own cars. Here's Brooklands 12 years ago
Was that really 12 years ago ???
Yep, I was there! I think that might even be me in the first photo, talking to the guy who brought along the rotary powered go-kart (on display under the red gazebo).
Ah, found one of my photos from the same event :)

So, who knows the event, place and year this was taken (not you Clive ;))

I understand why the shapes for pulses, maximum flow, timing etc. But it doesn’t stop me thinking of bread shaped air coming in and muffin shaped exhaust gases going out.

Ahh Kees Hoebeke, he of many Rotarys. I will have to ask if he now has a second Cosmo,
I once asked him and Laura how many Rotarys were owned and they wasn't sure-------maybe 150!

Nope, there’s an engine builder in Detroit called lingenfelter.
He has a huge collection of cars, most of which are over 1000bhp.
They’re walking around the muscle car show room and come across a Mazda Mirage in its race trim .....

I thought it looked like an Opel manta but I could have sworn he said Mazda not monza, these yanks pronounce Mazda funny at the best of times.
That’s my excuse....

What not keeping it, even after you have dropped in 400bhp's worth of Rotary :00123101:Rather drop 400bhp into the rotus.
The 5 is too nice to meddle with after being looked after since 2003 and is rot free.

There’s summat you don’t see every day
The “rotary rozzersâ€
I’m only guessing but I’m assuming the clear flap on the bonnet is to push the air over the police lights to stop them getting ripped off at high speed

We met a Japanese Lady who loved our RX-4 and then explained that when she was a kid in Japan, the Police had Luce's (RX-4's) as they needed cars faster than the equivalent of the Mafia. There is a special name for them.
Also there are models out there of Luce police cars.

Mine was an “export model†it was a brand new shell purchased by an old boy from ford who tried to reshell his written off estate but unfortunately he passed away before he finished it.
It had the boxed in chassis rails around the leaf spring hangers as per the type 49 cars and the reinforcing plates on the top of the strut mounts.
It was completely rot free.
Ford made 3 x mk1 RS Mexico estates and the turned one of those into an RS2000 estate.
It was finished in diamond white with a black vinyl roof and the blue decals down the side.
With hindsight I should have made a replica would be worth a Bob now.
Anyway, I’ve moved on, rotarys now.

I used to have an Escort estate / white with the yellow RS stipes down the side.
2 Litre Pinto / 3.5 diff Ricaro seats etc.
Had to take the twin 48 Webers back off and went onto standard 28-36 Weber as it used crazy fuel / even more than a rotary :)) :))

Post by: clive on March 26, 2020, 09:33:24 AM
Here's a CAD challenge, with my car drawn in CAD I wonder if there's a program that could simulate air flow over and under ??
Again and again we have wondered about sticking pieces of wool over the car and doing a track day to see what is really going on with the car.
I know the rear diffuser works because overtaking an RX-8 around Quarry on the dirty side, the guiy came up to me to tell me that the diffuser was sucking up dirt and rubbish as I went by :great:
Here's a piece of useless information
Reading an old Motor Sport yesterday, it turns out that Frank Dernie was the first person to use CAD in F1
Post by: Jamie R on March 26, 2020, 09:48:05 AM
There is lots of options, but I dont have that simulation software.
This guy uses scale models ( he has an RX7 in this episode)
Hes a complete dork, but the vid is very interesting in how he simulates flow and how the different shapes create different effects.
He may have a scale model of the Rx8 lol

If you find the 200K + to build it, I will drive it for you ;)
Why 200K?
I wouldnt put a 4 rotor in, Id keep it simple, a NA PP 13b or a turbo'd REW.
Do what RE Amemiya did and hook that up to a Subaru Legacy gearbox, remove the tailshaft and use the output flanges that drive the front wheels on the subaru to drive the rear wheels.
So a mid engine 13b with a transaxle gearbox for literally pennies.
The RX8 suspension is tried and tested and known for being a good set up, so id nick that again like on the rotus.
I can build the chassis no problem and im confident now that I could build a complete car from home made moulds, could be a combo of GRP and maybe try carbon fibre.
Id have to polycarb all the windows, but im doing that on the rotus so that can be my dummy run.
As they say, every day is a school day.
Id still let you have a drive tho Clive. lol

Not much in the way of channelling air under for it to speed up, but there's definately a big enough of a shelf in the stagnation zone for the high pressure to push down on, and a tiny gap for high velocity/low pressure to go under.
It will all go to waste if the floor isn't flat enough to make the most out the splitter

Well it's definitely "traditional"

I have said over the last couple of years that "one day" we will do a track day with wool stuck on the nose bonnet, rear window and rear wing to see if any stalling is going on.
My rear camera would show the window and rear wing, but I would need maybe a Malcolm to act as a pace car with a rear camera on the back of his boot lid.
