One of the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show Concept car entries... the RX-7. The the article that goes along with that pic entertains the idea that Mazda "may" use a Supercharged version of the Renesis Rotary engine. Either way, a blown Renesis of some sort is on the cards...

Yep, RX01. I was wondering how many people remembered it?

Well, they say Mazda are gonna show it in Tokyo in October, and it really looks like they haven't changed much since '96 RX01, except give it a "Family face"... and a new engine.

>Ryosuke: Where did you hear that?;) No offence, I've heard some waaaaay out claims for all the successors to the Supra, NSX, GT-R, RX-7, and Lexus, but eg: Nissan using the R390 engine in the new GT-R? How on earth are they gonna get that to meet emmissions laws? And same with the 4-rotor?

All the new sportscars are gonna have all new eco-friendly engines. It sounds boring but thry're all gonna have the same or more power than their predecessors, and be lighter aswell.

I've got an NSX pic, but it was all CG, so I didn't put it up. But on that note, I have a friend working in Honda, and as soon as something breaks, I'll let you guys know.

Incidently, a garage called "Scoot Sports" have been working on an NA 4-rotor engine (2 12A's with a common crank) to put in an FD3S, they want to get it to 325km/h, no turbo, no Nos, street trim.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
