I could not say on those, the best fit i have had personally is the 1st gen rx7 seals fwiw.

The scary thing is unless those cars had hard coding somehow papers can be forged/ created on a average pc. What did the zap cars come with just a option code on build sheet? Someone recently got indicted for trying to sell a lemans as a gto on the egay. Feds jumped all over it. Will try to dig that up. There cracking down on fraud cars/purses/watches etc...

+1 give me a call for details.

no gasket

trans and the engine would be a nice fit.

Thats a model in the background. Looks to be 1:18 like yours.

Indeed the rotary was in many things before the 7. The cosmo sport being the first from mazda. I too had a rx3 wagon with a good ol 13b 4 port hitachi carbed goodness. I have been on the hunt for years for a rx3-sp. YEARS!

I will have to go back and research then. That little comment just seemed wrong to compare to legendary cars together. Being a huge rotard is just kinda rubbed me wrong. I knew they acquired rights in 61 hence shortly after...i guess 7 years is not shortly after

Indeed it is..the one in the back appears to be a fb as well.

The Z also inspired a variety of imitators, including the Mazda RX-7 This is completely false and wrong. I cant attest to the other models but this i can. Rx7 design was completed in 68 shortly after Mazda acquired the Wankel rights. Its was shelved in favor of the cosmo sport. Its not even right to put two great images and powers against each other. Both camps drastically changed the way America looked at Japanese cars in two different periods. In fact i would be so bold to say where the z left off THE REAL Z meaning s30 the rx7 came right in and carried on the greatness with a new platform in 78. To me everything after the s30 is not a z. The demographic changed and so did the reason to produce. Nissan shot themselves and changed the reason to make cars. They saw money and changed there market of who would buy the car. Same as the rx7 after 85. Both camps when started production wanted the soul of the sports car but in the end became soulless 50,000$ cars.

This has been documented. I did not wanna bring this up either as this war never ends the little skirmish battles get won but no one can ever agree. I stand buy my 34mm x6 theory. I also stand buy unlimited tune ability. In this case though the OP sounds like he needs hassle free driving. As far as pricing though. I want to make clear unless you are buying triples new (webers anyway) they are not worth 1500. USed webers are worth about 100-125 a pop unless there is documentation to back up a rebuild. Or how long they have sat. Why webers have dropped in price...loads. One can get a new carb for 275 bucks now. I learned instead if buying floats and needle jets to just buy the whole top cover for 70 bucks. Gets you 90 percent of a rebuild brand new float brand new shiny cover bolts etc. Intakes are a different bag. I think the cannon/pierce mani is kinda junky. The two i have had where very rough, casting flash was really bad. the mikuni mani i had was top notch. The kamereri intake is very very very nice. for 450 bucks you get a super sweet intake throttle linkage the works. Oer is still being made and qulaity has stepped upped. They are setup to handle boost as well up to 15psi. I almost went this route when i had my hks blowthrough setup,But at 550 a pop thats alot of cash-olo I think what ultimately needs to happen is a dyno shoot out with the same car and different induction setups. From a non biased person at a location yet to be chosen . I just wanted to put it out there that these carbs are not worth 1,500 and surely run from msa setup. The people i have talked to lately say they have been getting mix matched carbs and jet setups. Mikuni and all the other carbs mileage is gonna vary. Some cost more than others. Webers are the ultimate in tune-ability. But there is something to be said over the mikunis or even the oer/sk rip offs of mikuni for a time piece.

Okay coming from someone who has a 240 that is well..uh modded beyond belief. I dont think its gonna hurt the value to much. Is it gonna keep it outta the hand of collectors prob. But yours would make a good start to a track car. I will echo though 4,500 to 5,500.

I must have missed that. Indeed triples are not for the faint of heart. Sounds like bruce's SU's is your bag of fun waiting to happen. Enjoy the car, when you start to feel the need for never ending screw turning get some webers.

Point taken. Its a personal preference and i just happen to be in the triple camp is all. Nothing wrong with your product.

Bruce i will be there that weekend as well. But like i said its required he have them.....its a production class. I really love that you guys mod the Su's but can you say you can outflow the triples. What about intake design. Cannon, Mikuni, Datto comp, FET, Kameri etc..... I will add this to this thread. Any stock l series inline 6 here yah go for a baseline. F11 e tubes 55f9 idles 135-140 mains 190-210 air correctors. 0 bleed back in pump jet well. 4.5 aux venturi's 200 needle. Mains and correctors vary on choke size.

Triples will always be better why.......endless tuning possibilities. I have driven in a car with hogged out SU's that where properly tuned and they do drive good. But they dont offer the hammer of god sound triples do when at wot. Let alone the crescendo you hit at 5 grand. Let alone dogs and people running from the car as you drive buy....i could go on. Triples are just plane fun. I'm waiting to see if anyone responds about the costs involved to get those triples dialed in...... Bueller........ anyone........ Hmmmm. Yes if you have no real base line it can get spendy. But most of the guys out there with 700-1000 in jets etc could have saved themselves loads of money and time buy getting a wb02. But if you are using cost to to say Su's are a better choice that's like comparing a yugo and a 240 You cant negate the fact that the factory used what in its racing teams? So for balls to the wall power choose wisely. No way a set of su's can even be the same as 6 34mm gaping holes into the valves. Just not gonna happen from flow characteristics alone. I will add that if you are a lathe master an can turn your own needles SU's could be dialed in really well i suppose. Bruce has a good product but like anything it has its limits. In summery you need to decide what your car is for if its for dd and occasional abuse get the su's If its for track use or heavy high speed use triples. Su's don't belong on the track or in competition unless its a spec vintage class. As far as the track is concerned bring the su's on over to road America and lets put it to the test.

What rpm is this happening at 6,200? reason asking is Zredbarron i think is at 290 on race gas and webers.

WoW bluevq was supposed to call me when he was gonna sell that. Did you get the vg he had there? I rough tuned those carbs when i was at his house. Lots of bad gas phewww. Solid car and a good price at that i am sure. The vg he had there was in so many pieces it would almost pay to just get another.
