The ever optimistic Sherman. Did somebody twist your arm and
force
you to write this rotary article for Automobile? :)
Thanks for the magazine Donald but one of my readers
reported it's
existence and I bit the bullet and bought one. Good article.
If Mazda stops making the rotary they can kiss their ass
goodbye.
They don't have a clue what it takes to build a profitable
and desirable economy car. Driven any Korean cars lately?
Its all about NVH.
Here are a few videos for your enjoyment.

Podium interview of the winning RX8 drivers.
Turbo compound is finally catching on.
http://www.rotaryeng.net/Truck-TC.html
Mazda just needs to get their ass in gear and apply turbo
compound to
the current RX8 rotary engine. What is so hard about that?
Aircraft Spruce and Mazdatrix sells my book. If you order
it from them I won't have to go to the post office :)
If your not doing anything in April come to Sun N Fun.
There are now two other companies in the world making and
selling rotary
aircraft engines. That is... other than Mazda.
Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.
Paul, the links to the vids on your website just go to the main
page (in
the email I receive). It might be more useful if they directly
linked
to the vids. Like:

It just occurred to me... I wonder if they can get quick
light-off of
the catalytic converter with a couple of turbochargers in the way
absorbing heat. Maybe the wastegate will be mandatory for that
reason -
to get hot exhaust directly to the cat?
On the flip side, having the turbos in the stream may give a
little more
flexibility on the mixture side without overtemping the cat(s).
Matt-
I am just barely smart enough to keep that web site working.
Any changes and the whole thing could blow up :)

No problem Paul.. I'm not suggesting that you change the site - just
that when you send links to files that the link actually take you direct
to the file you'd like us to see...
Thanks,
Matt-
In some cases it is set up like that. For example:
http://www.rotaryeng.net/Truck-TC.html
That is an html file.
In the case of a video they are not set up like that:
http://www.rotaryeng.net/ That does not work by itself.
You must scroll down and click on the video you want
to watch: "Video of 2008 Daytona Rolex 24 hour GT sports car race.
Podium interview of the winning RX8 drivers."
It is probably possible to set it up like an html file
I just don't know how to do it. I program in raw html
and I don't use a high level web site program like Front Page
to do my web site. Do we have any html programmers
on here?
Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.
No biggie. I'm not expressing myself clearly is all. What does this
link look like in emails from me?
http://www.rotaryeng.net/StarMazdaRacing.wmv
From my side, it doesn't take you to a web page so much as causing the
browser to try to open a plugin to view the video file.
If you send
http://www.rotaryeng.net/
<http://www.rotaryeng.net/StarMazdaRacing.wmv> in emails to me it's
just a little tough to figure out which file you're talking about sometimes.
Again, no biggie so don't sweat it.
Matt-
OK Matt I'll see what I can do in the future. Bob suggested something I'll
try.
