Mazda RX-3 Savanna GT Widebody || ONBOARD Classic Rotary

Coming from New Zealand and driven by Chris Green, from the Rotary tuning specialist Green Brother, this is the beautiful Mazda RX-3 Savanna GT of Andy Duffin attacking Leadfoot Festival 2020 in all its "Rusty Livery" stylish Glory.
Built during the 80´s in the ‘Yanky’ style popularized at the time (large fenders/spoilers style akin to the Race Cars of the time) it features a mildly-modified extend ported 12A Rotary engine good for about 240Hp/9.000Rpm in Naturally Aspirated form and pretty much just light upgrades like a series 1 RX-7 5 speed Gearbox and better brake pads, leaving everyhting else pretty much period correct. It was imported into New Zealand by Warwick Mortimer, sold to Justin Hicks and only after that acquired by Andy Duffin. Since then it has been displayed to a larger public and done a number of events on both circuits and Hillclimb. Leadfoot Festival 2020 was such an occasion...

Rotary sounds like an angry 2 stroke motorcycle to me haha. Love it.

THIS is the reason I'm saving for a rotary 🤤

[@rizalfajarfirdaus1288]

Ohh that sound👌

[@mv03dl100]

Like a barrel of angry bees

[@marcobrancorsini2479]

A bosozoku-styled car that is actually functional. That is some certified good shit.

[@mmwosu]

Bosozoku? Really? I wasn’t getting that vibe at all 🤷‍♂️

[@x9417m]

These are just the Katayama style flares, there really isnt anything bosozoku about this

[@mmwosu]

m Now if there were oil cooler lines running through where one of the headlights used to be, we’d be in business! 🇯🇵

[@marcobrancorsini2479]

@@mmwosu I mean, not as extreme as those cars imitating the silhouette race cars, but the fender flares and the wheels gave me that vibe.

[@rennkafer13]

Bosozoku, like the stance crowd in the US, got its start in cars by imitating race cars... badly. Bosozoku was originally about motorcycles though... the "rolling kids".

omg I had a nostalgic feeling when seeing that RX-3 D:

[@ianrobinson525]

Now you got my attention. That thing is rare as. Love the rotary's

[@JohannesKonow]

Such a pretty car. Shame they took out a light for air intake. It has holes enough in the bumper not to have to make a new one in my opinion.

[@Mr6Sinner]

Those fender flares make it look uncomfortably tall

[@thesoggybaguette4465]

Does it even have a redline?

[@thedave8972]

No. No it does not.

[@mr.sr7171]

The sound of a really pissed off hornet

IM LITERALLY TRYING TO BUILD THIS CAR OUT OF LEGOS ITS SO HARD TO BUILD EVERY LEGO PART HAS TO BE UN-EVEN

Owner has balls hill climbing this thing, if it were me, the occasional Sunday drive, as precious as my first born. 💓

[@josephbrady711]

Andy Duffin is the owner, but the guy who builds the engines is driving this today. Go to 3 rotor racing page for more

It seems that all of us rotary lovers have gathered again, just a pity Mazda no longer shares the same kind of love...SHAME ON YOU MAZDA! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@jezcolborne6329]

Sounds like a very angry power planer or a very low electromechanical siren

[@michaelallen3918]

And people want to replace petrol engines with the vacuum cleaner on wheels.... No way!!!! And lose the sound, soul and theatre of these fantastic petrol driven machines....
