Guy building a Mazda 787B replica in his garage

[cheapracer]

The poms dont really get rotors and there is virtually no rotor scene there, certainly nothing like the scene in places the US, Japan, Aus & NZ so it's not that surprising that it's not got a rotor. A large part of the appeal of the 787B was the unique quad rotor though, otherwise it's just another Group C prototype.

I can't help thinking he'd be better off going for a Jaguar XJR Group C racer replica as he should be able to get hold of a Jag V12 fairly cheaply and easily over there and it's not that far off what they actually used (albeit a 7.0L race version)


The Mercedes/Sauber C11 would also be quite cool and it actually used a V8 so at least it would sound right with a (twin turbo) v8.

Your a prick, wanting someone to either have 1/ A Jag V12, enough said or 2/ a car that will fly into the air the first crest you go over!

After reviewing the pics of his front suspension design, I'm concerned he's going to run out of travel in his upper spherical bearings very bloody quickly!

post a pic gamma, every time i hear "mechanical engineer to design something that works" i ma petrified for the sake of all who drive on roads, because they say "mechanical engineer" like it means they took a degree in knowing how shit actually works.

sauber c9/c11 is like a decade before the CLK-GTR which is the Webber flying machine

Have a look at the spherical at the top of the upright, and how much of the angularity of the wishbone's rod ends is already used up sitting at ride height...

Actually, there are a handful of rotor workshops in the UK, and quite a few grey market FDs about (and a few standard imports too). Not sure about how popular the 8s are, or the older cars. Relative to the size of the population, it's small, but there's definitely a 'scene'...

maybe he wants it to be reliable

No rotary = Meh. It'll never be close to a 787 without one.

A shell sold about 24 months ago. Peaking I didn't have the money to purchase it. Though I wouldn't have had the expertise to actually make something with it lol.
