Somewhere around 300HP Mazdaspeed RX-8 in the near future. Not this year, Mazdaspeed 6 was this year. And Infiniti is is bringing out a near 400HP Turbo GT-R version of the G35. Expect it in 2007. I get most of my Info on new cars from Road and Track Magazine and Motortrend. If Im wrong, so...

20B is awesome period. Anyone who said they have driven one and didnt like it, they are full of crap and have never driven one. Theres absolutely nothing in the world that compares to driving a 20B. Its not that its fast or anything, its just that its like driving nirvana. Its just an...

It will be around 300HP. They can't afford any less. With the New 400+ HP North American Skyline GTR around the corner and the new 400+ HP Supra on the way, they'd loose in bringing out with less than 300HP. As it stands at 238HP, its exactly as fast on the track as a 350Z. Or so 'Top Gear' says.

Just giving advice to the rotary crowd. Not alot of people know that the simplest s*** can save you from alot of s***.

Looks like parking has moved to Parking Lot 3. Theres 64 stalls in that one overlooking the river.

I've ridden in a 400 cui inch powered FC. Something like 330 whp. Its nice, but it just doesnt feel the same. Doesn't corner the same. Doesnt wind up the RPM's the same. Not that it doesnt do it well, its just the money you spend on a V8 swap, you can just drop a sick rotary in it. And if your...

A Blown rotary will still run. It will get you too and from work. Heck it will even run with low compression on a non-blown motor. You do a compression check to see how strong the motor is. If it ever breaks down, thats rotary 101. Compression check is the first step. 60PSI a Face (3 faces a...

Syncro's. You can get a used Tranny for an S4 N/A for dirt cheap. My 79' Tranny started to do that once I put more than 300HP through it. But then again, thats a first gen tranny.

Mazda told me when I bought my Miata about the RX-8. They said 300HP and 250 Tourque as a revised estimate. They never said weither it was going to be Turbo or Supercharged. Road and Track 'Speed' Magazine did an article (and cover) of a Research and Development Supercharged RX-8 that Mazda was...

Compression Check: Pull out spark plug and do a compression check as you would a piston engine. There is a relief button to let off the pressure in the tester after your done with it, you must hold it open for you to get a good reading while cranking. It will bounce. Note the highest it bounces...

RX-8's were built for Turbo. The 10:1 Compression ratio rotors pulse the Turbo like no other vehicle EVER made. Since the RX-8 has so much RPMS, I suspect there will be little to no Turbo Lag.

Do a compression check and post the numbers. That determines how well the engine has been treated. Remove the CAS (aka Distributor) and check for residue on the stem. If all is well, beat on it until it goes. Then build a better one.

Mazda Speed RX-8 is set to have no less than 300HP. No word on if its the new Twin Turbo setup or if its a Supercharger. Expect a Hood Scoop and much refined performance. New mustang is pretty nice. I'd wait at least until the late 2006 or 2007's come out. Seem like alot, but wait till they...

Post where-ever. Parking areas selected are E and F in North Glenmore Park. Access through 37th Street SW only. Theres enough room in those combined lots to fit at least 32 Cars. A large field for sports and a washroom is nearby. There is however no large picknick area to be advised to bring...

Im anti V8 because everyone automatically assumes I have one in my 2nd Gen when I drive it hard. OR everyone always says put a Small Block in it. It will go fast they say. Whats wrong with a rotary? Does it rev too high? Is it because the tourque band never drops off once it hits? Maybe its...

Theres a large Mazda meet/BBQ happening on May 14th. Place: Glenmore Park Time: Kick off is at 2PM Exact location in the park will be decided tomorrow. Raindate is the 15th. Originally an RX-7 meet, I've invited the RX-8 and Miata Community to show up. Now its time to invite everyone else...

More you beat on a rotary, the better it responds. I drove my 12A First Gen for along time and it never gave out or broke down. I had it flood once and it didnt start for 24 hours. That was it. It was more reliable than my 400cui powered chevy astro. That thing broke down all the time and it...

I hope you plan on keeping your Piston powered FD. They instantly loose ALL value as soon as one is swapped in. If you loved your RX-7, you'd keep your Rotary. Camaros weigh close to the same as FD's. V8's feel too truck like and old-fashioned to me. No RPM's. Ever thought of a 20B? Would cost...

Fast Facts: 1978 was the first year of the RX-7. They were sold as 1979's mostly. 79 had the points ignition, 80 had the Electronic 'Hybrid' ignition. 1984-85 was the 2 years of the Highly sought after 'Series 3' GSL-SE's. Factory 13B powered. They never sold a 13B powered First Generation...

My Rotary Powered vehicle will destroy any Piston engine it comes across.
