looks like a ga70 so its probably even lighter.
It says its in australia? and it looks like a narrow body to me?

maybe on oposite day....rotarys are VERY expensive to build.
Thats got to be the most not fun car to drive, sure it makes 400 horsepower but Its like a 1J, only 100-150ftlbs..... :biglaugh:
Turbo on rotary comment, there not as efficient due to the short "stroke" (if you can even call it that) that the engine has. it spins twice as fast and uses twice as much fuel to make the same power. I.E stock 550cc injectors in a car with less then 2 liters of displacement that in our car can make 500 horsepower with a 3 liter.

or make something different with no balls?
Yes, it's a narrowbody.
The "OVER 30 THOUSAND SPENT ON DRIVLINE" part I find seriously amusing though...
Believe it or not a 1988 GA70 (narrow body) hardtop with a 1G-FE, and a manual transmission had a curb weight tipping the scales at 3,020lbs. That was the lightest trim available, so yes it had the potential to be much lighter. Hell you take the gasoline out of the fuel tank and you have a sub 3,000 lbs car.

Yeah, I can't get excited about that swap at all.
Now if it had a boosted Lexus V8...
$30k on that driveline??? Is there 20 grand taped to the oil pan?

1G-FE?
that shit must not even move...:aigo:
well, who knows, I think the Altezza/IS200 has that engine..
Yeah 135hp at 5600RPM
and 130ft-lbs at 4400RPM
With a power to weight ratio of 1:22 or 0.045
By comparison
The MA70
3600lbs(approx.) and 230hp
Power to weight of 1:15.7 or 0.064
The JZA70
3550lbs(approx.) and 280hp
Power to weight of 1:12.7 or 0.079
So yes, even in the supras lightened form the 1G-FE was an absolute dog.

A 1989 GA70, narrow body hardtop, sporting a 1G-GTE with a manual transmission, and no AC had a curb weight of 3219lbs.
With 210hp at 6200RPM
and 202.5ft-lbs at 3800RPM
This would give it a power to weight ratio of 1:15.3 or 0.065
*edit: Just to throw things into perspective, a 2007 Corvett Z06 has a power(505hp) to weight(3132lbs) ratio of 1:6.2 or 0.161

my mate dan who now owns a turbo A used to own a nice mazda rx7 which he spent big $ on and it was quick but had no torque.That same motor of his in a ma70 would be a pig to drive unless you raped it everywhere you went.Ask him about turbo rotary engines..LMAO hes been through a few
wow see the ga70 and ma70 are both about the same power to weight ratio but then again the ma70 has the torque advantage nvm.

blah turbo hyabussa's are almost so fast that they are slow. unless its stretched out so far that you cant even corner anymore..
yea bikes suck because traction can be hard to get and wheelies hard to stop. the new gixxer 1k has about the same power as my hayabusa but is 100 lbs lighter, my friend has one and i take him every time because he has to let off or it'll flip backwards. i<3 useable power.
exactly, the turbo busa's might have 500hp but they cant even go fullnosechunks said:
throttle.... and are even worse in the turns.
