i was wondering if anyone knew where there was an FC commecial hosted. I know their old but id love to see one.

Here is an old top gear segment:

SureShot, do you mind if i post that link on AusRotary.com ? (with thanks to you of course)

 

thats a great video...

does anyone have any other good RX7 videos...?

any cool videos would be good im just at work and bored....

 

Ok with me.

Here's a good one for the 3rd gen guys:

Hey - I'm on a roll:

drifting from outside

drifting from inside

 

WTF? 2nd gen with a distributor? That's... odd. I thought they all used a CAS.

Also, the rev buzzer was coming on at 5000 RPM. They weren't even into the power band!

Is that a pre-release '7 or something?

I've seen a pic of an FC with a distributor, I think it was in Denmark.

 

E-specs also use valves in the LIM instead of rotating sleeves for the aux ports.

 

thats wierd...i noticed the distributor too.......... what is up with that......... its crazy how they change soo many little things from country to country

 

SureShot
Keep the vids coming...

my friend has an actual commercial for the fc his dad recorded it when he like recorded some clint eastwood movie off the tv

 

you MUST get this footage and then host it. +1

 

Agreeed!

 

If you guys need hosting I have a few places I can host from..
And why did Mazda feel the need to make so many different variations for different countries? Surely there's no reason that 5/6th port sleeves would be illegal in Europe...

 

same thing goes for many other cars

look at the S13 180sx 200sx and 240sx HUGE list of differences there

even the newer Celica 180hp in US 250 in Japan and a long list of "little" things to go with it..

diff markets with diff customers with diff priorities.. (costs to maintain costs to run it insure it etc etc)

 

SureShot where did you find that old top gear, ive been looking for that for a long *** time. you wouldnt happen to have the one for the 3rd gen.

 

at 5:58 in the movie it say's that the engine has 2354cc is that true?? the second gen had a bigger engine than the 3gen??

because they want to think that the 2rotor is equilevant to a v6. cause no way could a little 1300cc engine generate power.

 

so the engine is like in the other gen's a 1300cc?

 

Exactly. They're just trying to compare it to the displacement of a piston engine.

 

Yes, This is because no piston engine can compare to the horsepower per cube of the rotary, naturally aspirated on both counts. Just trying to keep the porsche owners feeling big after dropping big bucks to buy a car that can be beaten by a car almost $3k less

 

13B = 2.6 liters

 

um... no, 13b = 1.3 liters

however, if you are comparing combustion displacement per revolution, a 13 b is still 1.3 liters. It just means that every other piston engine in the world is only using half of it's displacement per revolution.

some more clarification:

anstandard 4 stroke will only actually combust it's full displacement in 2 revolutions, where a rotary will cumbust its full displacement in 1. This is why people like to relate a rotary to a 2.6 liter. But I like to think of it the other way around. 13b is 1.3 liters, every piston engine is just half.

kinda like the "I'm not wierd, you all are wierd!" concept.

 

Not this again.
