It appears to be part of an article from road and track April 1992
The image I have is labeled “Road_Track_article4.jpg” but I have not been able to locate a high resolution scan under various names and transmutations of the terms.
Anyone have this?
TIA

 

Gonna keep looking but http://oldmags.com/issue/Road-and-Track-April-1992

 

If someone could copy and paste the actual article up I'd love to read it!

 

Thank You Very Much! Gordon

I called R&T today but got a little run around, and did not have time to follow up through the proper channels to order the back dated issue.(she couldn't even tell me if that particular one was available)

This scan was all I was really after anyway!

If its not too much trouble, would you be willing to scan the article as well?
I am sure there might be a few interested parties here.

 

I've got a lot for older mags myself but not this one. It's funny how the factory was claiming 7,500 mile interval oil changes. LOL! YEA right!


Edit: You can also find many older mags in the periodicals section at the local library.

 

I've got all the mags with article about the FD when it was new. I had an 87 sport in 1992 and a friend that worked at a Mazda dealership. He let me test drive a FD then, I remember how slow and heavy my '87 sport felt relatively. Awesome ! FYI my R1 ran a 13.98 bone stock (precat and all) with a passenger in 1999, 1st run in the car.

 

March 91 was better.

Here's a start...

Gordon,

If you'd like, can you send it to me as well? I can also host it. I'll take the highest rez scan you can do. Since email may not work due to size, let me know and I will set up an FTP site for you.

 

Saturday morning bump


Thanks for reposting, seen that before, but a renewed interest in the nostalgia.

 

Anybody?
Would love to be able to get this image if possible.

Thanks

 

It would be awesome if this was poster size, I'd buy it.

 

Gordon...were you ever able to make that scan?

 

http://n16seq.bay.livefilestore.com/...RX7.jpg?psid=1

took a photo of that page from the mag I have.

 

I'd love to get a high resolution scan of that (or the original page preferably) so that I could frame it and put it next to my other one...

 

Thanks for that!

 

Love the ad, where is that from?

 

Those are both from a 1994 issue of Road and Track (or maybe Car and Driver).

My favorite part of the ads is in the Miata ad where it says "The only car that's racier is rated RX."

 

I'd love to get a copy of the ad on the left, if anyone can point me towards the exact issue I'd appreciate it.

[Sorry for the threadjack]

 

OMG ! So badass ! I have a miata and FD... need exactly what you have framed in my room...

 

Interested in this as well!

 

okay, I had to dig this out of the vault, dust off the scanner, and add in a little color restoration, but it is here for all you guys to download.

Click on the link to download the higher resolution copy. The lower resolution copy is in the bottom link and in this post.

Very awesome...thanks.

 

I've been looking for a copy of the 'lightning in a world of thunder' ad for a while now to frame.

It's still amazing that they got those skidpad numbers with garbage 90s tires. That was a touring package. It had extra weight and didn't even have Z rated tires.

 

Agreed...even "junk" performance tires today do better than those old things. Throw some wider tires into the mix and I'd like to see the new results.
