Also those pics at the web site are of when the car was still twin turbo. If you search around there is a thread where that car went single and it is fuggen unbelievable how big that turbo is.

Kiwi-RE provides the basic materials to make a 4 rotor. That's a spicy meat ball and I wouldn't want to slam that into anything that isn't a big 69 Camaro or a full tube chassis . Who ever wants to put a 700 HP NA in a 1st gen is coo coo nutz! I wish I had 9,000 for the kit and 4,000 for two pairs of lightened rotors to make it, I'm that crazy....4 rotor....mmmmm.... I didn't know that Mazda sold a variable quick shift 5 speed dog gear box eaither. A 3 rotor with that would probably be a reliable driver, besides the high pitch whine from a dog gear box.

That's just ridiculous, but nice. That's one of the biggest potatoes I've seen.
