    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

        looks to be piston powered and not rotary though...
        The T3 BP MX-3 conversion has begun, and is taking forever & will kill me.

              It's got "future Rx-7" witten all over it I think...
              I'm getting the same kind of vibe from this thing as the Rx-evolve gave me in relation to the Rx-8.

              IDK...I kind of like it (but would like it more with a supercharged direct-injected Renesis!). I can see a production version in about 3-5 years maybe?
              (fingers crossed)

                  Yeah but it's smoothed out more..almost like they tried to mix some Rx-7 into it?

                          300hp N/A from a 1.6L engine... that's insane. And then supercharged after that. I wonder if they'll actually build something like that?

                            Supposedly based on the MX-3?

                            The practical family favourite gets refreshed styling and an upgraded engine line-up


                            Is Mazda about to resurrect the MX-3? If the Kabura is anything to go by, the answer may well be yes!

                            This official drawing (right) of the concept car shows how the reborn coupé could look - and motor showgoers will have a chance for closer investigation when the sports model debuts at next month's Detroit expo.

                            Despite being heralded as merely a "thought-provoker" at this stage, the two-seater is said to hint at a production model for 2008. As with the show car, this will be penned at the Japanese firm's California styling studio. The centre's director of design, Franz von Holzhausen, told us: "It's an exciting continuation of the Mazda DNA, with an understanding of the marketplace and what it wants." The newcomer will be aimed at North America, but it would be possible to convert it to right-hand drive for the brand's armies of fans in countries such as Britain and Japan.

                            The sleek roadster boasts a compact body with only two doors. It's clearly aimed at enthusiastic drivers, and the distinctive nose visible in the sketch draws attention with its dominating large RX-8-style air intake flanked by sweptback headlamps.

                            There are also similarities with the MX-3, which was axed in 1996 and featured either 1.6-litre four-cylinder or 1.8 V6 power. However, one of the big decisions faced by Mazda bosses will be whether to fit the newcomer with the RX-8's unique rotary engine. That discussion should be ticking over for a while yet.
