The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[wannabe]

hey Pablo you working on Sunday?

if not, i'd say just drop that cert in the mail...at this point it'd probably be easier

 

[o0n8]

you can, but there's a comfort level I like to maintain, not to mention getting water on something that should not get wet

hmmm, I always thought the wetter the better.

Hey-yo! Wait, are we still talking about road conditions?

 

[tweiss3]

Metaphorical road to skeet

And, it is snowing

I'd drive an Atom in the rain and snow.

The videos are linked in the post, maybe not the first post though .. I don't remember.

 

[XCLR8TN]

Found it.. Very short video.

Damn car makes me want to try and do side pipes.

 

[Lewis7789]

Kinda looks like a Z4... Jess, do side pipes! That would be epic! Probably a huge PITA and you're running out of time. But still. That would be awesome.

 

[XCLR8TN]

That was my thought too, Z4!

Ehhh. A lot of work and probably oval piping for my ride height lol.

Anyone hear about the confirmation of the RX-7 returning in 2017? (cabpatch)

I read it, won't believe it till I see one on the show room floor.

Mazda just doesn't have the sheer number of models and options to support a rotary car with the current/future regs.

That's pretty cool but also so seems so far away.

Expand a bit more upon the Skyactiv, include the diesel in as many models as possible... it should come pretty close.

 

[tweiss3]

It's possible, I just don't see them bending every other car over just to make a rotary car again

That article is rather intriguing. I hope they are right and the RX-7 is back in 2017. That timeframe makes sense to me if they are going to make use of the new Miata chassis which is due to be released soon I hope.

 

[Evan9999]

It will have to be 300+ HP to compete, or 200 HP and really light weight.

Tomorrow I go back to Mazda to get actual numbers for a new car...then de-modding can start...very mixed feelings about it

what are you going with? skyactive 3? I might be able to help some with the demodding unless you need some alone time

There's a good chance it'll be a skyactive 3. Eventhough, they don't offer a 6 speed with a sunroof...just gonna get some real numbers to see when I can pull the trigger. I'll give ya a heads up when the parts removal starts.
