Looks promising for sure. The Tokyo Auto Show should have quite a few interesting bits.

That would make it the same rotor housing with larger rotors for a 1.6L displacement.

280 to 300 RWP. 300 would be my guess.

Now the dop in weight from the Kabura which is............ 500lbs?


YEE HAW fast.................
