Insane Race

[duplox]

My aunt has a mazda 3 wagon.. they're pretty nice inside/out. I did happen to notice when lookin at the motor that there is about 8 inches to a foot of empty space(save a few hoses/wires) behind the motor, perfect placement for a turbo. Plenty of room for intercooler(s). They have fairly big engine bays for that size of car. They do seem to have potential, but it would take some work. I'm not a fan of plastic intake manifolds...

20-30 minutes? Thats damn long.

Ha thats funny didnt even think of that. If they were racing tfor that long they obviously were close to/ above speeds of 100mph. (dont quote me i didnt read the story) so they went close to a 50 mile race.
Travel much?

Nah, it was up the side of a mountain basically so lots and lots of curves. Avg speed was maybe 130 km/h? Just a rough estimate.
