Hey all, wooffinn here. Geez Phinsup I'll get a head swell if you keep going on like that!! As Treceb said, 3rotor is a great site.Fast fours is ok, but if they could get rid of all the four cylinders it would be much better!

I'm the tech officer[well bullshit officer] of the Mazda car club of Queensland(Seven of Clubs-http://www.carrepairs.com.au) so to answer your question, Yes! We currently have around seventy odd members with all sorts of Mazdas/rotors.

Unfortunately, the rotors seem to be getting a bit scarse these days but we're still flying the flag.Try Ausrotary.com. It's a similar setup to Nopistons here. It's based in Melbourne and there's some very helpful guys on there.

We do have a dyno day coming up in March, but for our US friends, there is about 2100km between Brisbane and Adelaide.But of coarse all you guys are most welcome!

Hey Spinz, well done man, there's serious competion at the nationals. Do you have any pictures? I saw your other post with the list of gear you've fitted. Sounds like one hell of a Rx-3.

hey congrads on the win dude.. well 10th but *** man thats a good effort.. As i live in South Australia the boom on rotaries is really low and there are minimal support for rotaries .. which anoys me... alot. Hots 4s is pretty crappy.. there are way to many 4 cylindas but that is because well its called hot 4's not hot rotors .. which comes to my next point .. i think there should be some sort of magizine or some way knowing more about rotaries in australia to restore more faith in rotaries instead of getting dissed for liking them ... people are sOOoOo stupid sometime .. but they will die

I probs saw ya rx3 i was at the 4, 6 and rotaries and all the rx3 were sick as.. well done again

Hey Plague, so true man. It would be nice to get some respect. I'd be be happy if people would just shut up and listen when you talk about rotories. But I suppose it's kinda rewarding when you hear the so called loud mouthed expert crapping on about how useless '**** *****' are and you know almost 100% he's had his **** kicked by Rotor!

You're right though, some form of more specialist magazines would be cool. Maybe help more people understand rather than assume they know.

Hey Spinz, that's one sick Rx-3 man. Wouldn't mind going round the block in that. A credit to you!
