TX 2003 Mazda Rotary Wagon Dragcar Modified

Here is the info my Project for those who don't Know about it, Decided to build a new project back 2003 so I called Tod from Mazda Motorsports and he was able to locate me a Protege 5 wagon that was schedule to be crushed, Jumped in my truck and went pick it up. I started actually building it a year after and got it to the point where its at today, car has been in current condition for nearly 3 years now I will taking the car to Tito's chassis in Orlando FL to get all of the final fab work done and will be returned to me ready for paint,wiring and ofcorase engine.
Power plant will be 2 rotor 13B cosmo, Liberty 5 speed tranny, 12 bolt MW modular Aluminum housing rearend, Ace 7" dual adjustable Clutch, Racepak dataloger, I need to be in the 1,000+ hp to be competive in the my class so wish me luck...

^ what was the best time on the A/M wagon? Apples & oranges but that A/M car was pretty cool, to bad the rules wasn't in its favor.. Judging from both Ken & Dee, we know Tito is very capable of building a safe, competitive chassis
