Hi folks. Im looking to buy a Mazda Capella from a local guy for a rotary drag-project. Im pretty sure its the same model as this one:


Is this model any good for a custom project? Anyone here have done them? Looking for pictures of cool builds and more info as im not very familiar with these models.

Really good progress. Im looking forward to see it running :)

Really great to follow your progress!! Any idea when you can roll out for a testspin - 2014? You are way ahead of me, but things have happened to my car too. Thought i share a pic since we are heading in kind of same direction except im not going wankel.

Yeah, its your fault that i cut out that much..haha :D Your build is my inspiration.
What i actually wanted to ask is if you needed to make the rear of the body stiffer? Seems like your rear half is not tied into the cage.. and i guess it will woble pretty much, or maybe not?
My cage will be something like yours actually.

(sorry about my not so good english)

It for dragracing only, so im going to have the wheels inside the stock body.
Anyway, since you have already cut out that much... do you need to make the body stiffer in any way?
My is pretty "wobly" already :2Confused

Great, im really lookin forward to any updates :)

Hope its okay that i post a pic here?
Here is where i stopped cutting yesterday... not sure if i should just remove everything and make a new fender, or just cut it clean and make a wider fender from there. Tires will be 26x6-15".



Edit:  it looks like you cut it all off on your car, but im keeping the stock look from the outside (no abarth fender), do you think i could still cut away everything on the inside as long as i take it easy on last part of it?

Beautiful project!! Any updates?
I have started a very similar project with my own 600, but with another engine though. Very interesting to follow your progress.
