Oh right... Neither of you are old.


Next question:

What did Mazda change from the 12A Rotary motor to get the 13B? More specifically, what did they change to increase the displacement?


Edit -

Don't be offended, M5Power. I'm bored. Very bored.
 
:lol: Oh it was inevitable. I'm offended by my user title, however.

By the way, why the hell are all the questions mechanically-oriented? The purpose of this thread is spec/fact based questions - i.e. questions about specification or fact. Mechanical questions should go into another damn thread. B9 Tribeca is stewing.

I think it works better on the Imp actually - probably because the car wasn't designed around it. I'm not saying it's great - none of the Imps have been - but it's not as ugly as the B9 Tribeca.

By the way, I've posed this question before and now is the time to pose it again. Since 2002, Subaru has restyled the Impreza three times. So why is it that the best-looking version is sold by Saab?

Well yeah, cause the Impreza isn't a car that will eat you if you make fun of it. (B9 Tribeca, you are ****!) lol.



Oh and the answer to this question is: The 12A had a rotor width of 70mm while the 13B had a rotor width of 80mm

P.S. What Saab are you referring to?
 
Roo has the correct answer. The width of the rotors changed to increase the displacement.

(Doug clearly loves the Tribeca, and the *Munch munch* face. Or... Doug DID love the Tribeca. RIP Doug).
 
Sticking with the Pantera, when the car was restyled the second time, in 1990; what was it then called, who restyled it, and what engine did it use?

I think it still retained the same name, even through the Panteramerica years. I'd be interested to hear the correct answer.
 
The guy who redesigned is Marcello Gandini.Motor is the Ford Mustang's 302 cid (5-litre) V8 with electronic fuel injection,car was called Pantera 2
or Pantera Series 2!

2 bad only 41 units were build though!

I think i'm am right about that one,so i have question for you,if i'm not right,than just ignore it,and i will ask that one when i get my turn.
What was the German Sports car that used 4-rotor Wankel engine and what was the Cd of the car!

I'm certain the manufacturer was NSU. The only car of theirs I know of is the Ro 80, which did use a Wankel Rotary engine, but there's no-one on Earth who would consider it a sports car - although its drag coefficient was 0.36.

Well,nice mentionable there,it is not NSU Ro80,but my question would be about that one if it's not this that i've posted.It has a rotary(you can see it from the name),i've seen the car in RL,it looks cool,this one is well restaurated,i think i have pic somewhere.Anyway guess again,but nice choice there 👍

Edit: Here is the pic,the car is owned by some guy,he drives it sometimes,but the car is mostly sleeping in a techincal stuff museum,it's on the lift though!

 
You were right on all three counts. Good job.
As for yours, the car was the Mercedes-Benz C111. Lord knows what the cd. was though. I beleive it was less than .2 though.

Actually it was C111-2,C111 ver.1 featured 3 rotors wankel engine,but never mind,i didn't expected complete answer here.So it's your turn,altough cd is not important,that was just a bonus trick question,it is 0.325!
 
Let's test the knowledge of the British car industry:
What was the year and name of the first forced-induction Lotus Esprit.
