Awesome car!! Being that most of us live in the USA and have not seen much of Russia any pics of life there will be very interesting. Expecially the car modifying scene there.

sweet ride. Welcome to nopistons!!!! damn, NP members are popping out of different nations

Welcome!



I used to have a penpal in moscow when i was little. It's cool to see that there are people running rotaries outside of the normal mazda scene!

Wow. Not only is that sick, but custom as you can get. Looks to me like the engine is place in there horizontally. Weird, but very very cool. That thing must haul major ass. Too bad it is front wheel drive.

Why FWD is bad?

Hey hellcat. Also check out www.vintagerotaries.com and post your car up there. Us guys over there would go nuts over that thing.



Do you have the older rotaries over in Russia, like the RX-2 RX-3 RX-4's. Anything from before the first gen rx-7? Supposedly somebody bought a RX-3 over in Holland with 0 miles on it. Straight from the dealers, all original.



Thanks for joining nopistons also, and enjoy yourself.

Not really saying it is bad. RWD is just better for drag racing over here, and autox and drifting. But for just everyday driver, is great to me. I would not want a RWD car in snow or rain.



I could care less, but would rather take AWD over anything.

There're some rx7 in Moscow. My car for daily driving(street slalom), and with Russian climate FWD better.
