I just wanted to post up some quick snaps of this car... when I spotted it, parked quietly in the back corner of the highly restricted access race car dungeon that lies underneath one of Mazda R&D facility, I couldn't quite make out what kind of car this was... however, if you look more closely, examining the hood, the bumper vents, and the
After seeing all the gorgeous Miata's that Antonio posted I thought I would be nice to see a bit more FC's. The first FC I wanted to share is this orange one that was previously owned by Daijiro Inada, yes the 'godfather' behind D1GP, the Tokyo Auto Salon and Video Option. He enlisted the help of Top Secret and RE Amemiya to build his

The black FC3S in the photo is normally aspirated. It is a daily driven streetcar owned by my friend Justin Pawlak (aka JTP) of Formula D and All Star Bash fame. What I like about this
I thought I would continue with the coverage from Tsukuba while Mike is busy covering the Tokyo Auto Salon, nah just kidding. But I did found these pictures al taken at a recent trackday on Tsukuba. Because it is Mazda month I selected all the RX7's that were present to show off the different styles that people use on their car. All the pictures
I was just looking through this set of photos that my friend Dean from Mazdaspeed sent me... and I spotted this pic from the 2008 SCCA E-prepared class, which features a crazy looking Miata leading an FC3S RX7 through a turn, but what really stood out to me in this photo was the signature silhouette of that blue RX3 in the background!

My mind has been going kind of crazy over the past few days thinking of what kind of Mazda material to post here. There's just so much to choose from. Anyways, with all this Mazda madness I have been thinking a lot about of the FC model RX7, which in my opinion is one of the best looking Japanese car designs of the 1980's. I was thinking about
