I thought it could have been extensive custom work.....but I guess you're right, the more I look at it the more I see the definitive RX lines.......sorry, it's been a long day.

yea its a 4 rotor. 2 rotor x2. I think its the same engine as the banned LM 787B. I have some vids of it revving its engine, etc etc. Its been posted around on several forums a while back.

In the vids, you see all the ports...Its 4 rotor fo sho.

Positive. I have a friend with a 3 rotor swap in his FD3S...So I know what they look like.

This one is totally different...When I get back home I'll try to find the vid and host it.

NA rotaries...haha...who woulda thought they can make so much HP w/o turbo.

I think those cars are FUGLY. I know 99% of the people here will disagree but something about those cars just is not attractive. I test drove one and they are fast and fun to drive but they are FUGLY!

The car sucks.

You won't make good times unless you launch it cause its a high revving engine...all the power is up top. If you street start it, the car is like a 7 or 8 second 0-60. And the HP rating is wrong...thus why they are kissing so much ass and lowering the sales price. I they're missing like 30 hp or some shit. Ghey.

I wouldn't say the car sucks...i drive this car almost everyother day and i think its pretty fast all around and a fun car to drive. I havn't heard anything about it missing 30 hp. all i know is that it can smoke the tires like nothin. It does look a little fugly but it really starts to grow on you. It is the first generation for this type of car so i may have some slight defects. (Thats what warrenties are for)

they were supposed to have 260hp. they even presold people on this spec. But they had to detune the engine to 238 due to emissions. So mazda offered to buy back any presold car.

btw: I love the rx8, as far as looks go i would get it instead of the g35 or cls. lack of torque sucks, but I dont really car about 1/4 mile times, as long as the car is not a pig and looks and HANDLES great. Plus aftermarket support should be great.

another thing....the only reason a person would import a CL to japan is to be like people who import JDM only cars to america...it is a fad there.,...they wouldnt want to chop up a car that they would get "hella props" for anyways

of course it would have an LED tip if it was in japan

They were suppose to have 250 HP, then they took it down to 238. There was a dyno test in last months sport compact car and it was like 188whp. Thats a decent amount of hp loss to the wheels.
