Because in the US under the SCCA rules the only home for an FD body style in under the GT rules and a must you can run a 13B bridge port. Now the body is hardly an FD is tube frame and shell panels allowed. The SCCA never favored turbos in Showroom stock and IT classes due to the ease of cheating, in the old days it was rampant w/ heater ***** turning up boast level from factory European cars.

men i helvete da mann, er det her inne du gjemmer deg? Oppdater litt på mazda-ogn.org også da!

Prosjektet ditt blir døfett, jeg gleder meg til å få sitte på på skogen!

hehe...

For the english readers, im just asking why he`s hiding in here and not updating his norwegian projectsite

Where in Hardanger you live, buddy? Me and the missus will take the FD or cosmo out for a little spin in when the FD is rebuilt, can stop by you and have a chat and a beer

It`s almost done, just can`t make up my mind if they are going to make the exhaust manifold or I`m just going to get it welded here in Norway..



Think they are located in Auckland or around there..

Got a mail from him a time back where he wrote this:

We now have the quickest n/a 2 rotor in NZ, and 2nd quickest in Australasia as far as I can tell. Its a car we built from scratch for a customer recently and runs a 13B PP and a very basic setup. It will make more power and run quicker next season.

It will be interesting to see how you engine performs.

WoW! I thought this was just another one of those "project" threads that doesn't deliver, but damn was I wrong. Your attention to detail is fantastic. How long has this "project" been in the works? Expected completion date?
