Here's a quote from one of the images "Like Robert, Weldon assists where necessary, but the 1992 Mazda RX-792P is his weapon of choice. It's also the most powerful of the bunch, with about 700 hp on tap from its four-rotor Mazda R26B engine." Very cool!!! Can't wait for Sevenstock on November 9th!

Wow... impressive Logan! Just as a sidebar, here's a link to pics and descriptions from last weekend's races at Mazda Raceway in Laguna Seca. Four 4-rotor cars on the track. Impressive!!

I was at Laguna, and I've got some videos of track-speed fly bys during the big race with all the rotary lemans cars in it. I'll get around to posting it up soon.
Can't wait to see more progress on this ride.

Seriously? Well, HOT DAUM!!! Awesome! Can't wait to see and hear her in the FLESH!! Get yourself a 2 car hauler and throw Gordon's on there as well!!! You just made my day!!!
#181
Yep. We will have it transported, Gordon is going to use the same transporter so they can ride over together. IDK if Lenny would want to go too, if so maybe we can transport all three cars. Three black FD's, that would be pretty crazy.

Some break-in miles at the track. Only went to 7200 at the end of day. Which sucked big time! Even just fooling around it was at 7k in 4th gear before halfway down the straight. The other half was just cruising. Oh well still fun Still rich at part throttle. Hence the little smoke on throttle transitions.

It will be. Its been a long horrible wait but its going to happen with plenty of time for break-in, tuning, dial-in etc. I believe its around $1300 each way. Maybe if we do three cars there will be a nice discount...

^ agreed! I can't wait to see this thing go all out!
Logan, It was great getting to meet you and Matt this past weekend at Rotorfest. You guys create some amazing machines.

Question: It's irrelevant now since it's been covered, but why was the passenger side shock tower cut out at the beginning of the build? Was that meant to be an intake port of some sort?
Such a sick build!

You are the first one that noticed that haha. It is actually clearance for the telescoping intake. I didnt want to compromise the intake at all, so made the chassis fit around it. Kept it as straight as possible for being in a Rx7 at least!

I can't believe I missed this until now. Looking forward to seeing the progress you'll make by intake and exhaust tuning this beast. That was my favourite part of following the semi-pp 20b project, the progression.

It is ready for real dyno tuning at this point. Its mostly broken in. Downside is the weather we have, and I'm not going to open trailer it through snow to get on the dyno. Might be closer to end of Jan/ feb.
