One of my mates came into some money and purchased a rare and wonderful car, is a 1976 Mazda Roadpacer, he got it off online auction pretty cheap.

well what can I say its a Mazda/Holden 13b rotary powered.

Slap a 13BT in it and have some fun!

That's fantastic

LOL he said above 15 but below 20.

It is mint condition but my mate collects unusual rotarys and barely ever drives them. Its awesome to look at and it even seems like you could fit 4 people in the engine bay WITH THE ENGINE.

Wow! I read about these once, basically they're a HJ Premier with a few different touches, and obviously the rotary motor being the main one.

Apparently they were pretty gutless though, but nonetheless, still a cool car!!! :thumbsup:

Also surprised to see that it has twin exhausts.........assuming its factory fitted..........

BTW - I read a related topic about these just now, and greenfoam mentioned that it was sposed to be in Gran Turismo 4, but wasn't in time for the release, does anyone know if they had it in the one after?

(the topic dated back to 06, hence why I posted here instead lol.)

Yea its no fast, lets say it is able to be driven I would limit it to just that. Ye from what i've seen the twin exhaust is factory its also has a little like motorcylce muffler next to one of the bigger ones something about air jet or air pump something.
