Cruised past an RX3 om the way to work yesterday, bridge-ported with a big turbo; the spooling was among the loudest I've heard. It was probably on the way to 'the rotary only day' for Canterbury's long weekend. These gorgeous vehicles fetch huge prices now in NZ.
i read the first sentence and i knew you were a kiwi.. as am I... paid 1600 for a mint 4 door with a sad motor 35 years ago.. never forget the times.. biggest regret selling it.
I assembled a Mazda RX3 and I still have what's left of it. Its body style is nice. The model kit was a birthday present from 2 nice teacher friends of ours in the early 1970s. I enjoyed puting it together Thanks, Ludwig
I love classic rotary powered Mazda sports cars like this. That beauty of an RX3 is LOUD and it RIPS!!! It actually sounds like an FD RX7 doing a constant tunnel run the way the sound of the engine just echoes the way it does
Before attempting to race maybe they could first find a bigger idle jet, and put some synchros in the gearbox. Gearshifts have a lot from a WW II era truck.
I believe that the best way to describe all of the RX- rotary-powed vehicles is that they're overweight motorcycles with two extra wheels attached for your safety.
Well, I wouldn't call that "screaming", great sounding car though. Must have either the worst clutch or worst gearbox linkage ever given the length of some of those shifts... Thanks for the vid.
Definitely was being gentle with it, that pp motor could rev way higher than that, and wants too... release it from the shackles buddy! Apex seals are replaceable!...hopefully carbon to limit damage lol
depends on the market, in japan it was marketed as the rx3 period. in the us, the earliest rx7 were still marketed as savannah, due to the previous rx3 savannah
small car with a big heart
It's a small heart as well, 1.3L only
@@naufalkusumah2192 not literally it has a big history
@@gaspermedved5803 Well people also figuratively refer the engine as its "heart", but whatever I digress lol
2 hearts in one? 😉
It's heart is smaller than its soul.

What other country would you pass one on the way to work, Rotary’s love NZ ❤
Churrr those RX2 and 3's were and still are awesome machines....Another West Auckland Kiwi who owned and loved the fun of rotary's.
He's really babying that thing.
Worlds angriest weed eater motor!!! Love the video mate! Cheers
Lol

When a rotary idles that high means it’s a Bridgeport engine 🔥🔥🔥 overlapping the chambers making those beautiful brap noise we all love
Sounds like a peripheral port to me.
💯 pp
Bridgey normally idles around 2 grand
Bridge is worthless
It's a peripheral port. You can see the intake fed straight into the rotor housings.
DORITO POWAHH

This was my 1st car....$1650 back in '78. Great 1st car.
Grazie!!! Che musica! Adoro il rotativo Wankel 😍
Many thanks! What a synphony! I love wankel rotary engine 😍

Suono bellissimo e auto altrettanto affascinante.
Grazie per aver condiviso il video.
That is a damn cool car
LOUD and PROUD!

Thanks Bozzy 👍
Worst shifts ever! Awesome sounding little car though
I concur, think his Grannys driving it.
Who doubles the clutch going up through the gears ???
@@humptydumpty5763 you double it going down mate! Heel n toe is fastest
My dad has painted this car his friend i had sit in it when his friend built it to this racecar love this car and the sound
Idles at 3200 love it

Thanks for the vid.
likely this time driver is the case not gearbox.
I was wondering the same thing.
Japanese have always had a problem with the clutch.
Screaming? I'd rather call it the angriest bee ever :) great sound,though
Possibly both mine always got stuck in 3rd just picture him with 2 hand on stick pulling like foook come on ya bloody!!!
OMG....no one can says MAZDA never made good sounding cars.
🇬🇧...this car looks so damn good...!
🇩🇪...dieses Auto sieht so verdammt gut aus...!
Gotta love brapping ❤️❤️❤️
Those 3 dislikes are from LS swappers
So are the likes on your comment..
Lol
@@efini_fc4276 na
Simply glorious
It looks like the inspiration for the Japanese bosozuko cars .
Very cool sound! : D
Love the rx3
Amazing machine!

Idling at 3k 😍😱
thats a peripheral port for you lol
What a sound and a brauty❤😍
Coolest sound rx3 na 300hp easy with old rx3

El auto hermoso, UN FIERRO!!!
I was there saw and hear that beast
I need to watch the on board ❤😢

Il pilota uno specialista nei cambi marcia...😂😂😂😂😂
Davvero ahaha
It sounds like a fuel powered R/C car XP
worlds angriest chainsaw...…..mean little car...
It's a great.💕
It's called the Mazda Savanna originally and not the RX 3
depends on the market, in japan it was marketed as the rx3 period. in the us, the earliest rx7 were still marketed as savannah, due to the previous rx3 savannah
i think he is running it in
Noiice!!
Someone put subtitles on this
very noice indeed!
Sounds like one of them dudes with a can makin car noises
best sound mazda car
Donde esta el PILOTO???
Por favor cheee!!!!!
Sounds like an airplane
Awesooooome
Video would have been way better if you had stuck a camera in the car
nice motocross
The only problem is the left hand drive and door mirros
watch rotary hemi breakthrough
Sounds like a 2 stroke, smokes like a 2 stroke. Thats rotary for you. hahaha
RX-7 engine, right?
+M. B.
13b came in a few rx cars from 1975 onwards, but yeah 2 rotor 1.3L originally the rx3 came with a 1.2 2 rotor so not much different
Hard to say, if it's from an RX7 it's from a 84-85 GSL-SE. '86 on don't have distributors.
Yeah but... whats her temp?
Husqvarna?????

Idle:3000 rpm
My 10.5L diesel dump truck idle: 500 rpm.
Lol.
Redline: 11000 rpm
Your 10.5L diesel dump truck redline: 2000 rpm.
Checks out.
Just only the sound is cool.
Sounds like 2 stroke
Smells like 2 stroke too
Find me a cooler sound , I'll wait
(This covers all roterys)
What RPM they make? 10k?
Rauschi 10-11 something like that
Mazda 787b 4 rotors, 14k - 20k
@@mrnegrofly that's soooo far off
Sounds wierd:)
Specially on start..
It's a rotary-powered car. Not like the usual piston-powered vehicle.
BITCHEN RX-3 !
Get a new driver, you could have a cup of coffee between gear changes
mmm. Doritos.
That aftermarket bumper is kinda ugly.
Love it how it pings it’s tits off but goes nowhere. I’d love a RX3 coupe.
something is strange about this car
Sounds like a weed wacker 😑
