Q_res posted:The timing would be about right for this to have been a potential engine for the 787B before they settled on the 4-rotor, wouldn't it? They had an article on jalopnik a few days ago about the weird poo poo Mazda did in the 80s and early 90s. I think that engine was developed for their new luxury line (think Lexus or Infiniti) that they were developing called Amanti or something. And yeah, that was the engine they were going to put in all those cars.

That'd be these guys: http://www.1000sel.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=35&Itemid=32 From the days in the 80s when tacking poo poo onto your car meant speed and class.

Just learned an awesome thing in a book I got for Christmas: http://www.amazon.com/Quicksilver-F...rds=quicksilver  About this car Porsche designed for Mercedes for a land speed record in 1939: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_T80  Where they designed mechanical traction control for it! quote:3. ANTI-SPIN CONTROL That's fuckin awesome! But I don't think they ever really built it, and they certainly never ran it, cause Hitler started doing some other stuff you've probably heard of.

Sorry it's no SR20 for you, but it provides reliable fun for many years with great mod-ability. Now if only Mazda could build a transmission that would take piles of power...

The SR isn't that great compared to anything Honda was making at the time. I don't know why you assume I am such a SR20 lover.

Thought you were more of a Nissan fan in general since we don't normally see a lot of Mazdas at your place anymore.

The last revision of the RX8 apparently has a 6spd that will take 400-500hp. Going to test this one here soon, a dog box/hks 6spd is outta the question for my budget.

A guy around the corner from my work has a few and their always parked on the road. Has a Coupe De Ville, an old Falcon and some massive ute. Can't remember what its called but basically one of those land barges with the huge trunks but looks like its had the back seats removed, the rear window moved all the way up to the drivers and a massive massive bed in the back. It has to be at least 4m long, I reckon I could park my S15 in it if it had ramps up to the back. I see a ton of LHD Mustangs driving around as well.

In my opinion, the Prius is a great car if you want an appliance. It is not a great car if you enjoy driving cars. After driving one, I understand why people are always driving slowly in front of me in them, it's because the car begs you to drive it slowly.
