Wide-body thread?
didnt see a wide-body thread so figured i would start one.
here's pics of myne i just got home today.
currently has dual weber carbs.
4 point roll cage.
some epsilon wheels plus stocks plus another set that look like Z wheels.
has an extra set of fenders plus the bumpers and stuff.
pretty excited for this.
not bad for under 500 i think, and engine starts+idles.

love the braaaap
I think those might be dellorto carbs, but I don't know for sure. Does not look like the Mikuni I had on my 82, thats for sure. Not seen too many sidedraft Weber's though so that could be it. I've seen pics of setups like this a few times, quite rare actually. I don't think anyone makes a manifold to do this kind of setup anymore.

on another note changed the oil today and started it.
before it owuld idle for about 10 seconds.
now its hitting over a minute.

I no longer have the shell I was going to put this on..and now have a RX4 im going to restore.
I don't really want to sell it but it might be some time before I would get around to using it.
It's the same one Dan has......and Dan your car is very nice, well done.
Anyone looking for a widebody kit?...Priced to sell.
$1300

just had more contact with the owner and this is what he has filled me in on.
"I put a large street port in there. It's about as big as you can go before you step into a bridge port. I have all the templates unfortunately, I can't get to them from here. I used a standard large (Racing Beat) 'street port' exhaust port profile also. The motor, with the Webers dyno'd at 224hp but I can't remember what the torque was. Depending on how loud I wanted the supertrapps to be, it would pull cleanly to 8500-9000, or less if I packed the supertrapps with 0# steel wool. It had a new oil pump with the bypass spacer to bump up oil pressure (100psi cold, 80-90 normal at WOT), and I ran Mobil 1 in it after break-in."
"Forgot to mention it does have a new complete LSD differential ordered from the Mazda dealer for an '86. That's why the rear brakes are bigger and the axles were taken to a machine shop to have them drill for the smaller '79 bolt pattern (110mm?)"
this car just becomes more and more awesome.
