Oh dear god...I gotta listen to that again. Pure bliss. It's like, the 4-rotor is God, and I'm just it's lowly peasant.

You think that would become a priority since they've been partnered with Renault for a few years now.

The sound of that 4-rotor is amazing, they need some video of it on a track though running flat out down the straight.

I was just talking about production cars. Nissan can afford to build high power engines.

Mazda can afford to build good interiors and a much better overall lineup.

I totally agree.


there a quote on one of my posters that says "on any given weekend, more mazdas powered vehicles are raced than any other brand."


my friend was amazed when he was helping me do a clutch on a FD and he was like wow, most things this car comes with, i have to upgrade on mine (nissan 300zx)

The first thing I thought when I looked at it. Looks like lots of effort and money paid off.

I want that dash so bad, damn you Defi.

They just filled in the original unit with fiberglass and painted it not such big work.

Unit costs 2,000$ more of the job is in the installation.

IIRC, this car was actually a 4 rotor 12A.... I could be mistaken but im pretty sure... I think someone said it made like 450 before... anyways... There are videos of the engine being turned over before it was installed in the vehicle, and videos of the car being revved up and the cat glowing....

Eccentric shaft and rotors are from Geoff Bruce at Precision Engineering in NZ. You can buy kits from him or kiwi RE, although I don't know how you would get your hands on that badass airbox and throttle body setup. Anyone got a # for Scoot? lol

I am friends with koseki-san from scoot. I am working with him on a couple of projects. What would you like to know?

The engine is based off 12A parts, and it makes around 400 ps right now in current trim. The engine is just a research and development engine for something much much nastier in the works. That is the reason right now it is powered by 2 Power FCs, instead of say a MOTEC.

Search my SN: BmwNeoType on Youtube, i have a few videos of when i spent time with Koseki and his FD. (for others who want more videos)

More coverage on the car would be great I know many of us go nuts just over a little something like the engine reving.

I see in all Scoot cars they use their side vein pressure thing a ma bobber why so? Also why not go straight to a 13b based 4 rotor
?

I think that's a boost gauge reading in BAR. On the note who designed the body kit; I read that it was Tamon design. You can see a convertible version of the body kit in the top of the website.
