Mazda 1200 project (Titanium Stud as Izzy calls it)
What's up Rx7club here is my project,,one of my friends (Izzy) calls it Titanium Stud,,I just started building it 11/12/10 and I've had the car for 6 years now I guess the time is here.
Its going to be FC3 -13b turbo,semi peripheral,T56 trans,9"rear.
Here what we got so far...
cross member is made in house
Strange 9" housing
S&W 28" Sports Compact Ladder Bars
Weld racing Aluma Star bead locks on M/T 28x10.5 Slicks
I'll keep you guys posted....

nice sized ladder bar, thy mostly are 30 plus inches, any idea where i could shop for a set like yours, preferably internet, as its a bit hard for me to fly to the states to buy ladder bars .
Nice car too, those little units are crazy to drive on the street, i cant imagine the track

well 1200/1300 all the same to me as i honestly cant tell the difference. Mine was a coupe but meh, still bloody small hahaha
if you have someone thats able to set up the rear and make adjustments at the track then go 4link. If not then I wouldnt worry about it as all it does is gives you more ways to lose your setup when playing.
The fastest untubbed mazda in the world uses a ladder bar arrangement built in their shed on the farm 20+ years ago, so if its good enough for him, its good enough for me!!!!

Nah, that was before my time the old Formaz crew. Beefcake is also from Perth and been around the scene longer than me.
But keep up with the updates as I love the smaller cars

yep, he got out and tried to start his own shop but it never took off, shame as he was one of the original guys who got me into rotaries , and he was one of the few who knew how to screw together a tough motor
