Car sounds amazing. Really glad to see the dedication to rotary engineering. Hope I get to see this in person sometime this year.

Thanks Theorie! I'm sure you'll get to see it at some point

Really? Who the hell said that?? lol the things people come up with. No its far from broken. Maybe someone got confused when I said "It needs BROKEN-in" hahaha. I haven't had much time to finish it to drive. Its close, just need to build some heat shields, install the larger fuel pumps, finish the oil cooling system and off we go.
Until then I just fire it up once in a while to hear it run

RICE RACING · 07-06-2013, 06:14 PM

excellent

I cant wait, happy to run some calcs on it for you when you get it up and running, want to see if it beats the 28% thermal efficiency of the R26B.

I'll save you some time..... It won't. Not yet. My engine only has two cermet coated housings. The R26b had all surfaces coated. Giving it the edge in thermal efficiency. It's ok, I have 3000 more rpm to play. Fair trade

Hey Logan! Luv ya build man. Now I know what you were doing instead of my manifold for all that time. Nah! Just kidding. Glad to see that you have at least been doing something constuctive. After I get done with the current 3 rotor Cobra build, I have been thinking about a 4 rotor Daytona Coupe. So with that thought in mind I will be watching your progress with great intrest.

Toyota completely embarrassed themselves for years before they got themselves together...and by then the others had all gone, leading to hollow victories.

How'd that F1 thing work out? Not to mention LeMans

Lets see, Fact, #1 Winning marque in the world- Porsche. Fact, #1 winning marque in the USA- Mazda. Fact, more Mazda's raced every weekend than all others combined. Fact, Mazda RX-8's running 20B 2 litre rotaries in the GT class against Corvette w/427 v-8, Camaro 6.0 V-8, Astin Martin, BMW, Ferrari 458, Porsche GT3 and Mustang 5.4 V-8 and all others, but the Mazda's are limited on RPM's to 8650 to make it FAIR!!!! The RX-8's give the much larger displacement cars all they can handle, including mutiple World Championships by Sylvan Trembley. Toyota, I'm trying to remember the last time I saw one compete much less win.

Lol, do you get your facts from Mazda miata commercials or something?

RETed · 08-22-2013, 05:02 PM

Knock the off-topic shit off.
If this keeps going, I'm going to dedicate a few hours of my time to strip all the nonsense out of this thread.

To GtoRx7, I can move this thread in the Defined vendor section so you guys have an easier time regulating the replies, if you want?
