My Old Car  Mazda

(I sold it in July 00)
I bought it new from the dealer in February 93. It has a 1.3 liter, 2 rotor, twin sequential turbocharged rotary engine. When stock the engine put out 255 HP to the flywheel, it now pumps out 375 (320 at the rear wheels) and the car only weighs 2800 lbs. That's 7.5 lbs per horsepower.
Get in. Be moved.

Mods

I've done all the mods and metal polishing myself.
