Rotary Newbie

Hello all,

Im a transplant from the Audi world, always had a soft spot for rotaries and finally got the opportunity to trade a rusty chevy truck for one. I've been lurking and reading threads on here for awhile now and decided to join.

The car was previously owned by Randy at Reckless Motorsports out of WI (not sure if he's a forum member here or not). Seems like a nice and knowledgable guy!

It has ran smooth since the first day i took ownership and with a little more TLC and maintenance im hoping it will last a long time

AEM Style Intake
Decatted Midpipe

All held together by zipties

Oh Randy, smh. What happened to the park bench wing?

Welcome aboard. Did you you get the hardware needed and Mazdaedit along with it? Who did the Mazdaedit tune? If it was Randy I would flash it back to stock.

I'm not sure, my guess is that is was a transplant from another car. I myself haven't had a dealer compression test it but it "feels" strong (plugs look good too). Pulls like my b5 s4 when it was stock
