I just saw this on Racing Beats site. I have many articles on the car, but none of those articles ever said that Racing Beat built the motor for this car. I have always been a Racing Beat fan and this enforces that they are a force to be reckond with.

no wonder the RB header is still not for sale..haha

 

yeah, i guess we can forgive them for taking so long because they got side tracked with the furai...lol

 

I wonder if it was the 3 rotor race engine that was in the warehouse for a long time. It was a full dry sump 20B with race seals and all the bells and whistles

Or is it a 20B Renesis hybrid??

 

It has peripheral ports, so no. You wouldn't want a 3-rotor with the Renny's port setup; the middle rotor would be choked.

 

well there are some guys in england who have built a 3 rotor renesis(all side port) and they seem fine with it. buttt....

no dan its a regualar racing 3 rotor tuned to run on alcohol. it was actually on the dyno at racing beat last year when we were there for 7stock. there are threads of info about it.

here is a pic i posted about some time ago-

you can see Jim Mederer actually helping to push the car out of the garage at Laguna Seca for the very first media show and ride that much of the videos are from

Jim is wearing the red hat




I tried to get that Jjacket from him- i ned to work on that some more

 

Nice find!!

 

The Furai is beautiful! I hope some of it's cues make it to future models.

 

I definitely want to see that front end and wheel arches on the next 7 and 8.

 

Well, what the hell do I know. I'm an armchair engineer.

No, not literally....

 

Still, I am curious, how come all the articles I read in the magazines do not say that Racing Beat built the engine. I think Racing Beat should be metioned whenever someone does an article on this car.

 

Just give me the Furai.

Do you take Trade it Mazda? I trade my Rx-8 in for the Furai right now + my money

 

****, my RX-8 + RX-7 + YOUR RX-8. I Get it every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and every other weekend.

 

soooooo, how do we get this puppy to SevenStock?

 

How do they get in GT1 or LP1?

 

I bet this car will be at sevenstock, I mean how could it not be?

Definitly going, gotta get a pic of me and that car together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I can picture the MOB SCENE if they drive it out like they do the other 3 / 4 rotors.

 

Butt dyno?

 

I wonder if Mazda could design a supercar off the furai? something to compete with the gt-r's, porshes, lambos, etc.

 

it's not Mazda's MO.. they won't do it.

 

o.o


flame suit on

 

now i'm more interested in the jacket.

 

Zoom: spill it!! we going to see it at SS XI?

 

I'm sure we'll see a Ferrrai at 7 stock

 

4 rotor ferrari?
