[Felix]

saw this on secret drift

sounds like a formula 1 car... insane!

[sdm86]

theres a vid of it doing burnouts

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlzYiJR80sE

wicked dish and fitment

[Whip]

Fucking 26B perif

Fuck That

[Sherlock]

Should have kept his 'FURSTY' plates at least...corporate sponsors have such mad downfalls. Money must be good though, the car is insane looking and sounding...

[RObErT_RaTh]

thats farking awesome, glad to see its still got a bit of digi camo hiding underneath, so frikin wikid

[Micknofx]

Looks insane!

Note the motors on the top of his struts - doesn't look like he kept the purple shit for long - that was the only disappointment when I read the specs of his original car.

[federal]

yeh its just not cool hey...

:blink: :blink:

[marvis]

I came a little when i saw this on speedhunters. Although i don't know about the rimzz.

[Clinton]

ive never seen chromie wheels look so sick!

[letsgohunting]

that rotor is lordworthy...

[riojin]

that car is insane. rims look like theyre off of habibs rx7 from penriff

[Gunner]

rio theres no habibs in the riff lol, thats the only rotor i actually like the sound off, stupid motors that they are

[Sturgey]

sounds mega hot :D
looks it to

[howee]

fark yeah sounds minttttt.

I still rekon his van is the best drift car hes had.

Formula 1 car - mad mike - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA-xLjg7-ZM

howee

[Dom86]

Freeeeeking Aaaaaawsome!

Looks and sounds HOT!

[Todd]

the second picture makes it look like a remote control car hahahah

[johl]

wheels are hideous

[orido]

is it just me or does this guy fail at doughnuts

youd think with power like that he`d be able to handle it well

[madrift]

^ Go out there and show him how they're done then

[Gunner]

high powered high revving heli's aren't easy, especially when you consider that thing is in third by the sounds of it, and probably revvin to 15k rpm, maybe more

[rthy]

om nom nom nom

[marlon]

thats insane!! loll thats the biggest belt ive seen for an alternater

Yeah that's a Gilmer belt, toothed. They use them for superchargers and stuff, makes it whine like it's S/C'd. They get the win.

[duste]

love it love 20b best sound ever

its 26b....

..

[shawn_26]

The Kiwi drift scene is soooo much more varied than our own. At a professional level anyway. I mean in D1NZ youve got Laurels, Cefiros, FD's, AE86's, where as here we are overcome with Silvia after fucken Silvia.

[1337machine]

huh is that thing na? :-o

[wideslider]

Turbosmart have just released a copy of a mazda rotor housing which allows 13b's to be bolted together.

Mazda originally made about 4000 when they had the 767b and since ran out, so expect to see more 4 rotors out there.

[kaibeecee]

if that wheel company came to any of you with an offer to run their work without cost, you'd do it, i would too.

that said, i was more of a fan of the equips on that car. and am glad the 'fursty' plate is gone.

[driftke70]

as with any car, compromises.

yes it is n/a

im not sure what you said about wheels, i tend to disagree, with his level of sponsorship he would be able to get a wheel sponsor pretty readily, id imagine those puppies are pretty weighty.

mike has always rolled with similar kind of wheels..sure he had his equips and they were pretty pimp, but he also rolled with random massive veilside and wed wheels....each person has a preference....he seemed to like them previously....maybe its the style he personally likes....they certainly seem to suit the image he protraits of himself

[floody31]

Needs a matching graphics, black KE70 with a PP 13B on Weds MA86s :D

its the eccentric shaft, not the housing you need for the hybrid motors i always thought?

read some of his specs, refers to "short crank" i am assuming that means 1pc ecentric shaft (not 2pc like a 20b, which makes them a lil longer)

[KNJI]

Sounds hectic :teehee:

[driftke70]

the housings have always been able to be bolted together relatively easily

[wideslider]

Someone check what it is Turbosmart are selling then, Cause I had a

lecture off someone working for them about it, might be a shaft or housing

[slydar]

nothing about it on their site.

its not really new technology or ground breaking by the sounds.

just theyve got enough money to get a few made and sell/market them.

Mate are you on drugs!? :whistling:

Maybe you're refering to the kiwiRE quad and tripple rotor kits that are available....
http://www.kiwi-re.com/wwd_showroom_cat10.php
Turbosmart doesn't make ANYTHING like this.

And you can't just bolt 2x 13b's together to make a 26b. :no:

And as for 4000 26b's :rolleyes: yeah right......I'll take 3x!!!!

[driftke70]

mazda raced 3, made about 12.

[orido]

wasnt it a 26b that won lemans ?

[focus_7]

They ran them in the 787b Group C car I think.

[driftke70]

the only manufacturer to win lemans on its debut, well except for the first race, it got banned though, like all the jap race cars do.

[wideslider]

Sorry Taz_RX I should have done more research before writing.

The plate needed for the 26b appears to be the centre plate for the 20b which Mazda

apparently made 4000 for as spare parts but as these have or a near all gone

Turbosmart has made a new Billet Center plate for the 20b, hence allowing 26b's to be created.

Here is your evidence

Yeah, the 20b centre plate is wider, ie "long shaft" because it needs to have both inlet and exhaust ports on one of the centre housings, in a PP, you dont have side exit ports, so go with a "short shaft" reducing rotation weight etc etc of the eshaft, and use a standard 13b centre plate.

Mad mike's and i think nz's story i think is due to him/us doing whatever he/we damn well want/s.

He built the car only because he wanted to legally do skids really, so did it, then kept doing it, got good, and looked like every other dunedin/canterbury/nelson/hutt valley/taranaki/tauranga/whangerei rotor feind, so became popular in NZ.

We have a slightly different style because mainly of our super loose import and modification laws, so what he does is basically within reach of most legal age drivers (rather than a $200k r34 etc) so is idolised.

I think the media portrays him as a bit of a munter, but he isnt, ive drifted with him on the track, watched him drift, and basically he follow's no other, just does what he thinks is cool, and we respect that.

PS. if you think those weds are hideous, have you ever SEEN simmonds!

[driftke70]

like gtr, fb rx7, fc rx7, 797b, the honda f1 car, toyotas group b rally team, and about 15 others im too lazy to list.

and get over yourself

[Vezza]

Pretty schmick... dunno bout those vip rims though lol

So what were they banned from? lets see...
787 got the arse because it was in a parity category, better governed by having only piston engines. In fact that pretty much goes for all the rotors.

GT-R wasn't banned from anywhere, Group A ceased to exist because nobody cared anymore, it was irrelevant and cost too much.

Funnily enough, the turbo F1 cars got the arse because of a combination of the two factors above, parity and cost...

Toyota were just too late to the party, if they didn't persist with tarted up group 4 style cars for so long, perhaps they might have had a decent shot at Group B. And in WRC they just flat out cheated.

See a pattern Beally?

[driftke70]

i admit there are numerous cars that have been dropped from regulation changes etc, but some are more class regulations, and others a specific chosen regs.

what you say above is in the most part true though.

[crossing up]

this car has to be the best looking and best sounding car ever

[Peter]

There's a real pride issue on this forum. Some people just HAVE to be right...

I love the new rig. Sounds menacing!

Just a little rotary education, when you do skids in HP rotaz, you cant just plant it and do heli's (well you can if you are alright with a blown motor lol, or if its a drag car). In a rotor, you have to just keep the revs up by tapping the throttle (thus why it constantly builds up rpm and dies).

Like these:

Thats my go at an explanation.

[SNAP]

Absolutly insane!!! That NA 26b would be my weapon of chioce over a turbo rota anyday!!! that thing would be hitting 15 -17000 Rpm easily. and the Sound!! like someone else said sound like an F1 car.

neat looking motor to with the quad throttle setup.
wouldnt want to know the damage to beuild that sucker!
