very nice looking car,  that couldnt have been much cheaper than the red one you were looking at though?,  surely.
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!

D1 WTF

oil is always a huge dabate.  WGT would not be happy if they knew there engine had had anything but 100% mineral oil in it.  but it is up to you.  lots and lots of threads on it.  however mazda have recently published a statement saying only mineral oil should be used in rotarys, and synthetics are bad.  the synthetics were bad bit was not backed up with any data or specifice oil figures to show which ones etc.  but like i said it is your choice.  read some of the threads

Just read through a boat load of threads and fek!!!!!!i know on the rebuild warranty that was given when the engine was built by pip...it says warranty will be void if any semi or fully synthetic oils are used...im 50/50 at the moment pardon the pun:2Rolleyes

It\'s either the same colour or a candy,but you really need to be keeping the car in a garage for candy\'s...1 scratch can mean a full shoot!!,im gona have a think about it over the next few weeks,i do like midnight purple though so i might paint it the same but add a little twist to the laquer.

Hayward North

I was a little adventurous with mine haha

Well basecoted the whole car in black (original colour) then fine lined the graphics out masked the whole car and used a small gravity fed gun to do the whole graphics in mazda perky blue metalic, then edged them in graphite to soften them and tiped them in silver all in basecoat, finally coated it with 3 layers of deep laqure.
It works better in the flesh than on pictures as the shine is deep and not plasticy.
Go do somthing different with your car :D
