What a rotor looks like cut in half, with the corner cut to work out maximum porting etc
-
thats a good pic and looks awsome bit of engineering, but to reply to Clive this missed the diving board ;)

Taken the world by storm or just stayed in production for years like the Alfa Spider?
Go on, squint at the Cosmo roadster - imagine that swage line going a little further back and.... :D

-
Here a poser.....is the new concept better looking than rx7 fd? ...im not so sure fd pips it for me.
-
Personally I would have preferred to see this made for real
-
Well, my opinion is that sport car cant be too futuristic. Super car maybe... But anyways, I like that new one :)
-
Super clean and Perfectly proportioned, colours not bad either :)
-
Um, what is that? Looks good though :)
-
Stole this picture from a members photo bucket hope you do not mind (re japi ) I will have it removed if your not happy with me posting it up

No problem Tony :) Thats what they are for, to be shared with people.
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. :)

So shiny... :P me likes... Btw, did Clive get trophy?
-
Really good to see Clive's car selected for this prestigious show. Thanks for posting up the pics Tony :)
I understand it's quite rare for Japanese cars to be selected, so I hope it's presence created a lot of interest in Japanese rotary cars.
-
Always liked this quick pic, just like MRC, it caters for many Rotarys :)
-
Yes, me too. And there are some super fast cars in that pic
-
I just love these cars :P

Great pic of a great car 8)
-
Did that car run 12A or 13B then?
-
Sheffield Mazda Dealer Date 1-11-2013 / why an RX-8 under the cover.
Because, this was the day all dealers unveiled the RX-8 for sale to customers.
-
Ohh...was that your fd Clive? What spoiler is that?
-
Lol Color... Have Clive ever owned different color car ;)
What happened to that car, is it still on the road?
-
Jon, Yes I owned this UK car for seven years.
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 :(
-
Hand luggage? lol Well, I like it
What was that cars specs? Looks like new btw
Yes sir, I have heard rumours that there is more colors than yellow :D
To Greece? Wow...
-
I love that crash helmet ! Very retro reminded me of the film Rush which i will re-watch today.
-
What was that cars specs?
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
-
New quick Pic, Pre RX-8 being made
-
Nice. :)
I didnt realize that you have so long history at racing. What cars you have raced then? :)
-
Nice. :)
I didnt realize that you have so long history at racing. What cars you have raced then? :)
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
-
Enough of stuff about me, lets get back to Rotarys with a quick pic from the first Brooklands back in 2002
-
Oh. Wait, what? You owned what? That track FB????
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...
-
Thought this picture of a non-yellow car would continue the theme
-
What? No yellow? ;) Weird nose. Custom made? Actually, I like it :)
-
I didnt realize that you have so long history at racing. What cars you have raced then? :)
Bloody hell how long have you got - c'mon Clive dig the old photos out
-
Yeah! We need photos! ;)

Joke but its Mazda LOL

That black FD look bad ass :P

Blimey Dave, that picture of our old EGI must be something like 18 years ago !.

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!
-
What is that rear spoiler?
Is that car your Dave?
-
What is that rear spoiler?

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!,
-
Lol
Oh... :( sad story...
-
Ok Clive here are a few quick pics of my 2 cars.
-
Just to get thread back on track the following is of an RCR SLC with 20B fitted. Great power to weight ratio and excellent rotary detailing.
-
Wait a minute... That GT40 is yours too? Were those both cars at RotorStock 10?
-
Did Clive modify his previous post (again) after I allready commented on that? :)
-
Don't think I changed anything before any reply, anyway, yes Dave brought the GT40 to Santa pod and the RX-7 has been to many other Rotorstock's
(thanks for the pictures Dave)
-
Ok. Sorry :)
Yes, I did like that GT even though (i know you do know allready) I dont like Fords ;) It was guite spectacular car... Can I get specs list please?
However, that FB is stunning!
Really liked. Me and bro was a bit disappointed cause we werent able too talk to owner...
-
Dunno if I have shared this allready but:
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!!!

Very Good love the Vid I got a new Project but I don't Know if Amanda will Agree ;)

I think that is Scoot's 24A engined car
-
That is fantastic, just shows you age is no barrier if you have the passion for Rotary's
-
How about a Quick Vid for a change of this poor underpowered little Rotary that's run a 7.0 @ 209.9mph
Some poor souls lost 2 Rotors and 4 Turbos to make this run happen ( 26B with 4 Turbos !!!!!!!)

Thats 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 :/

KIMI 2 is now MOT'd and taxed and so I gave her a run out of ~30 miles this morning, the most miles she's done since being laid up in 2005! Started cold first time and also started hot (immediately, no hesitation!) twice after stopping for a few photos and fuel. All good, she drove well, getting her to the buzzer a few times when warm. I now have a long list of non-urgent items to do over the winter, but feeling really chuffed after the drive.

Still cant work out why I loved this famous pre launch Mazda pic so much :D
-
Always liked these, right back to when I was a kid doing pre-delivery inspections on new ones, mind you, they did't quite look like this ;)
-
Nice... Not sure about that color thought, but I do like those station wagons too. :)
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 .

Great story :)
So there is no Sedans and Wagons in Europe? What was that red one, in Wales I thing?
I know one sedan here, imported from Sweden but I dunno if its original or clone...
-
getting some good photos on this Thread keep them coming
well I am off to "Lemans 24" next year to see this I think 8) the 2016 possible rotary entry that they are taking about on the Japanese network

Have you seen the list for top ten Imports?? PAC performance don't even make the top ten
and there's now 2 6cylinders in the 5s
-
Yes, Aussies arent so fast at the moment. PR has best rotarys now... Those few Supras are fast
-
It won't be long before they 2jZ guys move onto the VQ 4.0 litre engines. Scott porter racing uses them currently and making some huge power and laying down some serious times over a year ago. They're making 2000 hp on the GTR for road cars/standing mile so imagine what methanol and 70psi of boost will do
-
Yes, true. But hopefully they are not moving towards little v8s. I know few shops are makimg big power from audi and beemer v8s
-
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
-
New sort of quick pic based on Tony's new house plans. (Sorry about the Ra Re)

Having owned an FD a Cosmo and a T11 I'm now in fuel bliss with an E46 M3 - 26 round town 35 on a run
I enjoyed my 10+ years with rotaries but there are so many +++'s with the BMW
Hard hat time

-
I need a new engine bay :'( ( but then it wouldn't be as Mazda intended ;) )
-
Old engine bays the best...no plastic covers!
-
HEY hey whats up with covers ;)
-
lol! you gotta admit an old rotary engine is such much easier on the eye that a slab of plastic! but that goes for all modern car engine bays!
Tony yours is an exception to the rule! 8)
-
No your alright, no offence taken and thanks you for the kind words, Iwould have saved me a tidy sum if the plastic had been removed as I am old school as well i don't like it I much prefer shiny metal ;)

-
thats awesome....got me wondering what a plastic rx8 inlet plenum would look like with a wicked coatings carbon onit.
-
What about this one then Mr re japi pic for today
Just kidding, that PPRE car is simply stunning. Black FD looks badass too... And those "plastic covers" thing, I dont like them either. But they can look good, and Tony has proven that :)
-
Years ago I didn't want any chrome because of the cleaning involved, so I painted everything and just used to wash it down with soapy water and then started the engine to let the heat dry it out :).
-
yes i like that nice and simple. the alloy on mine has gone furry whilst stood ive fed it with lots of silcone and wiping down its getting there.
my mate sent me this the other day...lets hope being restored rather than broke. ???

Collecting an engine with a friend and this was in the corner, not a nice shiny pic like the others but what a project - 48 Buick RHD

Ok, I have to share this even though its rotary related... :)
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!!! :'(

Mazda R100: The first Mazda rotary at Bathurst
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.
-
Lovely historic picture there Clive :)

Now this sits just right :1rij:

If Mazda would have built this in 1967 it could have been a world beater

Hiding in Mazda USA's Basement are Racing Beat FC3S and FD3S RX-7 Land Speed Record cars that ran the Bonneville Salt Flats. The FC set a record in 1986 at 238.442mph, while the FD famously became an air plane in 1993 but went back in 1995 to set a new record (which apparently still stands!) at 242.005mph.

So how about this 20B trike :wee_hee:

todays quick pic is a rebuild
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.

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... :/

Then she came. Absolutely stunning FC NA. And that stance and wheels...

My daughter went: "dad... dad!... DAD!!! Its Snowy´s dad´s car. I like it! Take a pic, Ill do "yes" face and thumbs up..." :)

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 ??

Back to Quick Pic, Here's a shot of a serious Gen 1 in 1980 at Silverstone 8)

Well according to Erling he was a TWR race driver....be nice to find out

Excellent pic, the guy who I bought the RX-4 from competed in the RAC rally with an RX-3 twice and showed me photos of just the same sort of flying image.
He said that people were shocked how fast the car was, but he said that the truth was that in under half a stage he always ran out of brakes :D

I can confirm the Brooklands pic was from 2009.

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.

Here we go, another from my collection.
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.

20B Cosmo would be awesome to own... :)

The Cosmo was, however unfortunately needed to raise some cash so it had to go.
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.

How many 20B Cosmos are in UK? And in Europe?
Lähetetty minun E2303 laitteesta Tapatalkilla

There were only 4000 3 Rotor Cosmos ever made and most must have been chopped up for FD conversions by now.
Personally I have only known of 5 or 6, 3 Rotor Cosmos over here

Only 5-6? Damn, I thought that you have something like 10-12... I think Sweden and Norway has maybe 4-5. We had one, dunno where it is now. And dunno about rest of the Europe...

Wonder what happened to the pink panther?
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.

Well spotted :) - that car certainly doesn't look like it's heading for the breakers anytime soon, far too good. I've posted it up the FB forum to see if anything is known about it.

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....

How different the world may have been if the Rotary had the huge development of ford behind it.

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 ;)

Not sure but IF they bring out a new rotary powered sports car it will only increase people self valuation IF it is any good. Lol

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:

Bit of info
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.

Info on another rotary engine built by Mercedes
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 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

Today I thought that I would share a "story" for you, not a picture, if you dont mind :)
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 :))

Little driving error, 50kmh turn cant be done with 80kmh on the clock ::) Well, that error ripped whole exhaust system off. Today we will bring my car to friends garage so we can put exhaust back on :)

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!

So, just few minutes ago I was talking to our local rotary turbo engine guru. This gent is the same who loaned his original IMSA GTU classfibre molds for my brothers FB project...
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!!!!

And its going to be quite fast too. Running with quite small turbo, dont remember what, with 1,3bar that engine had 420whp and big torque. Also, its going to be light. Howerer, funniest thing is that he is going to do it road legal too, maybe

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

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

So I just found this in my dads garage.
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!

Ok, good. So back to photo diary...
So next day we all went back to that track. We were actually quite lucky cause that track and all the fields were full of JDM cars. And we heard brapbrapbrap again..
That weird bloke must have been following us... :sign0085:

Yeh it was really good! Lots of excitement, few crashes and spins!
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!

We were sat just before the Hollywood turn and right where the cars changed gear so we were getting ears full of bangs car after car lap after lap. They all have side exit exhausts pointing too the outer of the circuit which makes it even better. Here’s a little video of the cars going passed. Would have taken more photos but alway find it hard enjoying the racing of your watching it through a lease.

Damn, finally some dude was able to find a list how much RXses are ever registered in Finland:
FB 38
FC 17 and TurboII 7
FD 64
RX8 lowpwr 86
RX8 hipwr 134
Also with these:
20B Cosmo
13B Cosmo
RX-4 2
RX-3 one
Also originally imported to Finland, but vanished long ago:
RX-2 2
Rx-3 4
Rx-4 4
RX-5 1
This list doesent have NSUs ext. And dont have those few FBs, FCs, FDs and 8's which have been brought here for racing purposes/non ever registered cars. This is about 10 cars total...
Also, this list is not a fact, but really close to the truth and it contains of my knowlidge about Finnish Rotarys

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 :)
Yes, that really is me in the cockpit, with considerably more hair than today. The 70's, the era of long hair and flared trousers ;)

My son recently announced his engagement and things have moved on apace. He and his fiance have booked the location for the wedding next year and I was skimming through the publicity pics for the hotel and came across this photo :)
Am I mistaken, or is that an FD in the picture? Shame it's blocked by all those people in fancy dress ;) ;D

Yep defo an FD...there all probably high on the fumes.

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...

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's been a wonderful journey you have shared with us all. :(
Now about this 3 Rotor FD your going to build, now that should really be something else (only joking)

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:

Thanks chaps have no problems letting it go as I got a lot on at the Moment... all it was doing was sitting in the garage the last 3 years hardly done any miles on her and its given me a push to have a large clear out of stuff all in al I raised 29k -30k selling stuff on and still could rase around another 7-9k just getting rid off loads of tech kit and other stuff out of the other garage before I have to hand that back.... got a chap coming over to look at my 1975 Honda 500 four with full racing fairing and dunstall kit tomorrow :icon_thumleft: its been in press the last 11 years but in A1 condition looking for 7k-9k for it that's 7 times more than paid for it ;) LOL
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

My car at Castle Combe last Saturday. The RX-8 Owner's Club were lucky enough to book the circuit for an Exclusive Club trackday and, after a fog delayed start, action started at 10.30am and the weather for the rest of the day was amazing (in February!!) :great:
We had 29 Rx-8's and a few other cars (from standard through to Clive's Race prepped beast), making a total of 36 cars booked in for a day of superb track action.

Yes, event was in Hämeenkyrö, about 100km north from me, in one of our rotorheads house. Day was just perfect. Cruising at highway, doing 140km/h, top open, with 20 other rotarys in convoy, few dudes causing mayhem with their 500 horses ;D
There is one absolutely stunning FD on sale now. It is Tuure´s car, I purchased mines from him, so I can vouch that this FD is in really good condition...

Nice project for someone......screaming out for a real rotary tho.....

I wasn't quite this small, but looking back I was really only a kid when I fell in love with the first Rotary I saw (RX-4)
Took Lisa's car up to Bourne Road Mazda Friday and it went though my mind that when I started there as an apprentice at 15, who would have thought we would have ended up buying a new car from them!

Here, you go, seeing as we are doing different, how about the 20B Rotary E Type Jag.
http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/09/the-frankenstein-20b-e-type-is-alive/
See how how I cunningly dragged the thread back to Rotary :love4:
-
Yes seen that before,
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

Would that be a first gen rx7 engine to be naturally aspirated and on carbs?

Yesterday dyno session with friends Rallycross car...
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

Looking back I see he actually rolled about 4 times, which would explain the write off.
What I dont understand is before the roll he/she was doing a right hand bend, but then rolled clockwise, like it fell down a ditch or a wheel fell off.......
Did you see it in the flesh Jarno?
-
Well, driver of that car is notorious for his style. We have saying here: tulos tai ulos, which basically means: first place or nothing...
As you might know, many Finns race that way...
Driver is ok. Car isnt 
Didnt see it. Only see fiberglass parts flying in air...
In fast turn to right, car drifted to big gravel pile in left side, rear hitted that and lifted it to roll...

Ive seen that somewhere before (cant remember where)
I bet the majority are MX5's and that's not a bad thing.
Did see a very nice Rotary powered Mazda 3 on hillclimb monsters that wasn't too dissimilar to the car in your pic.
Q? roughly when did Mazda introduce the Skyactive technology?

With a bit of surfing the web today, I didn't realise how big the lotus following is in Japan.
Seems a bit unfair as they provide us with quality engineered production cars, and we build, well....... something very unreliable in comparison.
Maybe that's why its attractive to them ??? lol

I think is a case of rarity, having something different...when i was in OZ there was a specialist european car garage....it had an mgf on the fourcourt..for about 15k uk...

Im posting another rotary again, Clive will be so proud! lol
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.
4 wheels on the back axle, HUGE arches and a 700 bhp single turbo 3 rotor.....
Bit of a trailer queen but it has potential.

And here's ANOTHER Rotary ;)
Really like the clean look of this FC

Continuing the White theme,
We just had a happy customer from Norway send us a picture of his FB just fitted with a Racing Beat system

@Ahvenisto racetrac today, Valtonen Motorsport (used to be) RX-7...
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)

Sorry captain Clive, I know its "different" its still a rotary tho :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumleft:
When Honda Goldwing meets RX8
Ya gotta love the innovation behind this.
Its fits too!.
I question whether the frame has been stretched to make it fit, its definitely been altered around the headstock.
Love to see it finished....230bhp with spoked wheels hmmmmm

Excellent engineering exercise :great:
When we ran Rotorstock, we used to invite bikes along ;)
-
Never seen a Norton Rotary in the flesh. those engines look huge!!
the cooling fins must resonate and make the distinctive rotary sound even better
-
Must keep the rider very warm in the winter ;)
Not sure about the heat from the engine in summer when standing stationary? ???
-
I have had a Norton Commander, Suzuki RE5 & a DKWW2000, no hotter than any other bike. The Norton was superb , by far the best bike I have ever ridden.

Wow!
That RE5 and DKW is truly stunning!
Love classic bikes and certainly bikes that are different.
They look in immaculate condition.

Back from Joensuu Rallycross event. Damn it was fun...
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

Clive,
Good chats yesterday.
Interesting concept of the crossflow block on top of a mini box......
Never heard of the 701..... and im a bit of a ford guy...
anyway......... bet you wish ya knew then what ya know now.....
could have used it as a "top gear style coffee table" with a glass top until they went up in value....

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

Reminds me of the stories I was told about the American single seater drag racers from the 50s.
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.

Never seen one of these ports before, real thinking outside the box.

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)

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".

Random Q? while youre online........
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.
-
Prob need a piccy mate to ascertain what it is ..either overpressure switch or thermal switch.
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.

Okies, Ill take a peek later.

Probably the wrong place to post this but continuing the topic....

So its getting hot? Why...low compressor oil..
Fan covered or dirty...in a hot area? Loose connections at plug or motor...

Are the motor fins dirty too?

Or other things like pulley alignment for belt.
Use an airline..blast the fan cowling out and ckean the motor fins for starters...
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
-
Oil is fine, machine is clean, no loose connections.
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
-
I bet the pump is sucking in warm air from the top of the cabinet through the air filter ( which is clean) ,the warm air being generated by the machine running and exacerbating the issue.....
-
Mohammed come to the rescue lollll
-
Im now thinking whether im feeding from a 30A or a 16A cant remember............
-
Mmmm.maybe but if youve put in a box to insulate the noise then youve also insulated the heat...

Really take my hat off to the engineering involved. Not just the engine transplant but the detail in the front suspension set up off the sidecar for example. I’m all for pushing the boundaries for being different but even this is screwing my noodle.
I’m thinking George and Mildred right now in a go faster world.

Prob need a piccy mate to ascertain what it is ..either overpressure switch or thermal switch.
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.

New switch arrived, I’ve wired up a desk fan to circulate air inside, cut 60mm holes in the cabinet to help, done an oil change (that was a fiasco in itself)
According to Mohamed the overloading switches can become “fragileâ€if they have tripped numerous times. I’ll fit this and

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

You know, when I first got to rotary scene, I didnt like FCs. Me and bro knew one engine builder near us who has super fast FC. But in RotaryStock10 I saw Kev´s Vert and I absolutely fell in love with it. Long chat with Kev made me understand FCs potential. Same thing with Astons red beast, car is absolutely stunning and Aston (and his dad I think) give me lots of insides about these cars...
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...

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.
5. Check with Jon before booking 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...

Yup not many left
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.

If you find the 200K + to build it, I will drive it for you ;)
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
-
There is, I think its called CFD, Computational Fluid Dynamics
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
-
Quite interesting actually

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

Hmm wonder if it actually works
-
Well it's definitely "traditional"
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

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.
