Administrators gav240z Posted November 17, 2015 Administrators Posted November 17, 2015 Discussion on exhaust systems. Seemed topical based on: http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/12239-fujitsubo-legalis-r/ Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted November 30, 2015 Administrators Posted November 30, 2015 Man I love these Mazda pickup trucks, kind of wish it was still rotary but still a cool build. Nice Patina on this thing. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted November 30, 2015 Administrators Posted November 30, 2015 Since I was on the topic.. Now I want 1, don't think we got them in Australia sadly. Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted December 1, 2015 Moderators Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't have thought a rotary would be a suitable engine for work ute due to their lack of torque, so couldn't really understand them being factory made - or am I mistaken ?

andyk_79 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_B-Series Looks like it was a short run factory built item but only for North America Quote
CBR Jeff Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 This popped up last week. 1984 Enka-fill Alpine Rally. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 3, 2015 Administrators Posted December 3, 2015 About 20 seconds in, he says this is George Fury. Good to see some rotors on the gravel and some cool old Datsun's. Quote

Yep George running the 120Y. I think a member on here now owns that car? Results from 1984 season here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Australian_Rally_Championship I remember the speedway at Bright fondly. Was a great place to spectate.

Results from 1984 season here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Australian_Rally_Championship Dat2kman is the current custodian on the 'Y'. And 'Portholes' in the Bluebird at the 1:48min mark - I need to ask Les if the LZ20 was it it at that time... Fun fact - that bluebird shell was a JDM shell that Nissan Motorsport had started to prepare for rallying, until they decided to go circuit racing in '84 instead. Quote
CBR Jeff Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 From memory Murray Coote's 1200 was a piece of engineering. Greg Carr's 131 was and still is an amazing car. I saw it in Canberra at auto Italia last year. It is as it was run at this event dirt and all. Quote
CBR Jeff Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Turn it up sit back and enjoy. What a sound!!!! If you don't get your kicks from this you should not be on a motoring forum :-). Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 4, 2015 Administrators Posted December 4, 2015 It amazes me how much a 240z can sound like those old Ferrari's. I still watch this video from time to time (open exhaust so cheating, but that noise!) Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 4, 2015 Administrators Posted December 4, 2015 Another good 1. Quote
