Sorry you don't like it, but it was chosen for a few reasons. The NC from the factory is seriously lacking in the radiator department. We want this car trackable, so on top of the custom radiator, this bumper has a huge opening to get the fresh air to the cooler. Also, it has the twin fog lamp holes which will be used to duct fresh air to the oil coolers, one cooler on each side.

More pics... I dunno, as I feel like taking em.

 

form follows function

 

That thing is the sex!

 

Too much arguing, not enough rotary mx5.

This argument is stupid guys, post up facts when talking ****.

 

In a word, beautiful.

Why MX-8, though? Why not RX-5? It's been my understanding that most Mazda cars with a rotary engine were prefixed with "R" - The R100, R130, RX-2, RX-3, RX-4, RX-5, RX-7, and RX-8 come to mind. Heck, there's not been an RX-5 in over 10 years... I think it's fair game to adopt the name

 

R-5X, for experimental

 

Cause I believe there was an Rx5 made so people are stupid and would get confused.

 

MX-5 Type R


Problem solved.

 

I like the body kit, should provide alot of air for the rad too!

 

Every fast rotary I've seen barely ran.

 

pics of the hood?

 

aggressive port work means lumpy idle and no ***** until high rpms. unless the builder is super talented, then there are some tricks to gain power without the extreme port work.

one of the co-owners of mazmart is one of the (if not the) top rotary rebuilders in the world. our engines run well.

 

Holly big brakes batman. Is that wheel full, or is that wheel full? RX-8 brakes FTW.

Wider angle shot included as well

 

Now I see why you are looking for a front bumper.

 

sorry i don't have any


Keep up the great work on that rotary. I want to see some driving footage when it is finished.
