[MachNU]

that rx8 was fucking sick...sounded like an indy car at WOT

[JITB]

god bless mazda! im a little hurt i missed that 4rotor rx8, after seeing and watching it so much on youtube..:(

[csmiths]

that 4 rotor was amazing sounding. sucks bout the diff tho

[Elbow]

Yeah 4 rotors sound like sex. They literally scream. I was sad he didn't make it to top 32 or whatever.

[Drummerboy]

so is it 2 13b's?

And whats in that Element? That has potential to be really cool!

[jesus bonill]

yeah man, that makes me want a rotary.....great shots BTW

[Dirty Octopus™]

yeah we heard that damn thing from the Fatlace Showcase. it sounded AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish i could have seen it run :(

[csmiths]

so is it 2 13b's?

And whats in that Element? That has potential to be really cool!


Yea 2 13b's. He said 500+ whp NA.

[Me86Rob]

Cheater 4 rotor FTL. Impressive though I guess. Better than the alternitive..$40,000 excentric shaft haha

[2turbo4u]

Hearing this car had me all hyped up for Petit LeMans later this year.

[Elbow]

Yes! Although there are no rotaries at Petit anymore.

[antj101]

I was actually standing behind the rx8 while it was idling and it was kinda loud, then he revved it up and I swear my ears popped.
I took a video but it wont do that beast any justice at all!

[Elbow]

Post it!

[tubby]

that 4 rotor was tight but to bad ur pics suck ass. and to bad i dident see u there

[bbuba]

Those dodges look good

[87 Turbo II]

That is rotary porn right there. That intake setup is sex! Slide throttle for ITBs on a P-port 4 rotor with a custom airbox and fuel injectors pointed right at the middle of the intake trumpets. Amazing!

What are the benefits of the rear radiator though? (Weight distribution?) And where is the oil cooler?

[Elbow]

Thanks! $10 camera FTW, plus they're still shots, they show the point, who cares? lol Too bad you didn't, I would of given you a free beer and repth!

Yeah it was nice. Not sure of the rear radiator, maybe more room? I know a lot of road race cars do it that way, not sure of the benefits if any. As for the oil cooler I'm not sure where that is either.

[cVon128]

One of the most amazing 4 rotors I've ever seen. Wish it would have got to run. The redbull car was sick too!

[Glides]

That RX8 is so smooth, God would rub his cock on it and get wood. Mad Mikes Dually is fly as hell too.

[Elbow]

Yeah I liked that truck.

[Doppelgänger]

Weight distribution and it's less likely to get punctured if there were any contact with a wall or car.


I was standing there when they had it idling and bliping the throttle. It was beautimus...but...since it was just a 13B x2 and only had 2 spark plugs per rotor...the sound was completely different than the true R-26B. I couldn't pull my eyes off watching the fuel injectors just dumping fuel right into the velocity stacks too. I was talking with the chic that was part of the crew about the various aspects of the car, how the e-shaft was made and how they're "tricking" the ignition timing by using two FD sensors and a custom timing wheel. I'd imagine that when they get that sorted out it'll make north of 700rwhp.

[greasemunkey]

yea that guy was awesome, I talked to him a bit about the car, a few 10 hour dyno days of tuning(if i remember right) and still trying to figure things out, and he was saying for insurance reasons the redline is at 8500 as of now. car is capable of so much more.

[tnomud]

yeah, that dually was trick........... It actually tows too, I saw it in NC/SC going north sunday afternoon with a 5th wheel on it.......

[Elbow]

The RX-8 was originally built for time attack they said...bad ass.
