The floor is fine as long as it's a reinforced area and the angle is still acceptable. You can also run a harness bar and just have them run over the bar itself to correct the angle, and still bolt to the floor.

Daves farm is only a couple of hours away from here. I've thought about taking a drive to go check out his hill, but I'm gonna doubt my girlfriend would let me go up it since she isn't the benefactor of my will yet. :lol:

Nah, an X83 Cressida actually.

Secretly I was hoping you would say that because I love JZCressidas. I don't post pics because they don't really look that amazing but thereing lies the appeal for me. I don't suppose I could request a pic and some details?

I also have a soft spot for ST185 Celicas, most of them look rubbish but I can't help but think they have potential similar to a WRX, especially since they're dirt cheap.

Well, you guys are incorrect. The only true 26B's are the Le Mans cars, period. Everything else is just a heap of 13B housings stuck together.

I'm curious about this, I thought that when using 13B housing to create a 4 rotor it was a 26B and when you used 12A housings (I was under the impression that was what Scoot did to build their 4 rotor) that you ended up with a 24B. I'm not totally au fait with rotaries but I was under the impression that the housings and rotors were not interchangeable and that was what created the displacement when dealing with custom built quad rotary engines. I'm not trying to disagree with you, I'm genuinely curious.

Revheadnz, you are technically correct. The problem is that even though they are 'labelled' as 26B's, the reality is that they are not. The only true 26B's are in the 787B's. There's a couple that Mazdaspeed had in the early 90's, alongside their 13G motor, but they were asking almost 6 figures for the 26B!! :eek: But the plans for the 26B were available and most people have created their own quad rotors based on photos and blueprints from the Le Mans days.

The Queen St. car (the 24B I mentioned) is actually 4 x 13B housings, and the 24B acronym was given to the car by the engine builder, Bill Nabham. I've seen the 4 x 12A housing engine aswell from a YT video and it actually sounds better in some areas. :embarrassed: Just the pitch of quad rotors gets me all warm & fuzzy. :D

I love that Elise aswell. Lotus superleggera. :sly:

yes I just googled it :P


They didn't do a bad job, too bad it doesn't have the power of the real thing and usual replicas. :)

This is correct but also ive done research and have realized the 26b rotors are much bigger so is the housing. Also i never seen a quad 12a put together. I was wondering how where can i find a place to make a custom encentric shaft for a 5rotor??0

a) Learn to quote properly. ;)

b) That's what I've been trying to say the whole time, 4 x 13B housings DOES NOT make it a 26B. I'm glad you are NOW starting to listen.

c)Why not....I know of a 12 rotor. :cool: Here's the pic if you don't believe me.

Call it the 78B (6 x 13B's) or an 80B (4 x 20B's) if you want. :mischievous:

Any metal fabricator should be able to create an eccentric shaft as long as you've got the measurements and dimensions right. Otherwise, go search rotary shops and see what they can do for you.

This might sound a little confrantational but I'm not trying to be obtuse here, I'm just trying to get my information right because I'm still confused. But are you saying that 26B is only a designation and that only the quad rotor in the 787B that was officially built by Mazda IS a 26B. And that despite the fact that custom built quad rotary engines using 4x 13B housings and rotors actually have a displacement of 2.6 litres are not "officially" 26Bs. Or are they not 26Bs because they don't actually displace 2.6litres? :)
 
Sorry revheadnz, I confused you with mazdaman (hell, he's asked so many damn questions!!) so I'm sorry if I sounded confrontational on the previous post. :)

It's more a case of the first situation you brought up. They MIGHT displace 2.6L overall, but they ARE NOT the exact same size as the R26B. Two 13B's (2 x 1308cc) = 2616cc. The R26B is actually 2622cc.

But the design of the R26B and the 13B are slightly different, which results in the extra few cc's of capacity. It's not the only OFFICIAL Mazda quad rotor either. They did have the 13J which was in the 767B, before the 26B was put into the 787B. :)

Ah. Comprehension dawns, I didn't know that, now I understand.
No offense meant or taken, it just looked to me like I was doubting what you were saying and I didn't mean that at all. Cheers 👍
 
Take off the stickers, lose the bonnet duct and cover up that radiator and that would look pretty sweet. Looks so much better without a spoiler IMO.
