A wonderful looking thing. I can't help thinking the Rotary owners are probably swearing at the prospect of a YB engine replacing the normal means of propulsion

Horrid, it defeats the whole ethos of the RX7 !!!!

Quite a lot of people seem to bastardise the car though, have seen Cosworth, American V8s, Supra Engines plus RB26s (Imagine having the same engine as in your Skyline but in a much nicer shell).

Personally I wouldnt ever consider it !!! The smooth Rotary engine is one of the greatest benefits of owning a Mazda RX car.

I have to say silly idea - an RX isn't an RX without the funny sounding engine

It was smoking like a b1tch at jap show. It was like a smoke machine as they put it on the trailer

Got to agree that this is wrong. Why replace a great engine ? - I dont get it :?

Simply pointless - surely it would cost more to get big HP out of the cossie motor than it would pulling the power out of a rotary - i'm guessing someone broke their RX7 and crash their Cossie the same day
