omg, just seen pics of the engine bay here

I\'ll pick my jaw up off the floor later

[flectron]

it is pretty amazing, especially when i\'m so used to looking at the pics of fd engine bays - there\'s so much room!!
i do believe i read somewhere recently that the prez of mazda wants to go back to the days of simple N/A rotors where you can lift the bonnet and see the ground below the car.  this is probably his wet dream:cool

[flectron]

what an engine bay Hubba Bubba!!!
how much power at the wheels has that bridgy Engine got?

[flectron]

not sure exactly.. dan (12ENV) will be able to tell us... he got her dyno\'d just before she left, but i can\'t honestly remember.
ball-park hazy memory guestimate: 190 rwhp.

190 HP sounds about right

OK, so well I guess it is safe to say to you now flectron that i hate you. And yes, jealousy has done thid to me. I was toying with the idea of getting this section of the forum named the homesick aussie section but rest assuerd I now know me place. You definately rule with that car. It is bloody nice!:D
 Must be one of the best, if not the best example of a modified old skool rotor in the uk. Well done, I am sure it must have taken some balls to buy it from overseas but it has worked out great.
 Enjoy. I am back off out to my cold garage with my, cough, cough, cough.......morris minor.

[12ENV]

The most hp it has made was 195hp@wheels but hav\'nt realy tried to make more power on the dyno but hey it\'s a show car. But if you dont see it coming down the road you sure do hear i can tell you:)

[sim_rx3]
