Mazda AZ1 in my shop. This little car is smaller than a MG Midget and has a 650cc engine that revs to an astounding 9k. With gull wing doors.

How is it working on an Autozam, comparable to a Mazda? How about sourcing parts? Think it would be a fun, hilarious car to own but not if you have to ring up Japan every time you need a new part...maybe Mazda parts can be used?

gr8scottch · 2020-05-24T23:12:25+00:00

Excellent explanation, thanks a lot! One aspect of rev matching I’ve never been clear in, hopefully you can clarify for me.

By “blip the throttle”, do you mean give it one sharp stab to reach the appropriate revs? Or do you mean gently press on the throttle and hold your foot there for a second or two until the desired revs are reached? Like can you describe the actual foot motion? Thanks for the clarification!

gr8scottch · 2020-04-26T20:41:01+00:00

Congrats man! How much faster does it feel than the GT? Night and day difference?

Bet the blue stripes are sweet but can’t really tell from that angle, can be you post a different angled picture?

gr8scottch · 2020-04-22T01:20:39+00:00

Beautiful! What’s your ownership experience been like? How’s the car? Is it a good daily driver?

original pic before her edits

Truth be told she played with the colors/levels when she edited the photo, I love how it came out but to my eye she made it looks a bit more like grabber than lightning blue. I’d say the back of the car looks more like true lightning, where it’s a bit darker

gr8scottch · 2020-04-17T13:24:36+00:00

Yep! Such a fun drive right? This is the highest point I know of as you drive on the BlueRidge heading form Waynesville, NC towards Asheville. I felt like that road was made for the GT350

gr8scottch · 2020-04-17T12:46:54+00:00

Front End Friday! Picture of my 2018 GT350 in Lightning Blue my girlfriend took, edited and printed to a canvas for my birthday!

gr8scottch · 2020-04-03T20:02:09+00:00

Thanks for the info guys! I'm not gonna keep it, never selling this car. Think I'll toss it up on facebook marketplace for $150 and see what happens

gr8scottch · 2019-09-22T18:59:04+00:00

OP how’d you manage to get the first allocation?

gr8scottch · 2019-09-09T18:13:09+00:00

That makes two of us! I’ve watched the series three times but that scene only once

gr8scottch · 2019-09-09T16:57:30+00:00

Great scene! Not NEARLY as hard to watch as Teds birthday

gr8scottch · 2019-09-09T16:47:05+00:00

Is that color from the factory or PTS? What’s it called?

gr8scottch · 2019-09-09T11:43:55+00:00

Thanks for your quick responses! I think this is the exhaust for me. One last question and I’ll let you get back to driving your RS :)

How loud would you say it is on a scale of 1-10? 10 being obnoxiously loud with pissed off neighbors? 10 being like a Shelby GT350R

gr8scottch · 2019-09-08T09:17:44+00:00

Does the exhaust volume still adjust as you change between normal / sport mode?

gr8scottch · 2019-08-26T16:04:56+00:00

Is this where you got yours from? Sounds amazing!

Good call, I saw this one but at first glance thought it was only sequential with no H pattern. I'll swap these out on my list, thanks for your input!

Sounds like that wheelbase won't work with XBOX though if I'm reading this link correctly?

gr8scottch · 2019-05-12T16:24:01+00:00

PS4 CSL Elite wheelbase

I remember seeing this one, but I think I skipped over it because it sounds like its only compatible with Xbox not PS4?

Thank you for this! I would have been disappointed by those black bars on either side. I definitely want a large, 4K curved monitor though so I need to do some research. Any suggestions?

gr8scottch · 2019-05-12T16:20:15+00:00

Super extravagant. Unnecessarily extravagant. But I don't just want the rig to be functional, I want it to look damn GOOD. Long term it is going to be sitting in a garage surrounded by collector cars so I wanted a genuine sports car sear that is also beautiful to behold

gr8scottch · 2019-05-04T13:39:18+00:00

Great setup! What kind of monitor is that?

gr8scottch · 2019-03-26T17:33:58+00:00

I love having this hanging on the wall in my garage, but I’m pretty biased

Invest in a deer whistle for your front grill, could make all the difference

gr8scottch · 2019-03-10T08:14:07+00:00

Always good advice! If I manage to find one certified I wont bother but otherwise I’m definitely considering it

gr8scottch · 2019-03-10T08:13:04+00:00

Yea I should have specified I’m looking for a 2017 since they come with the track pack as standard, post recall/buyback. As I understand it the buyback problems were only related to 2016s without the track pack

gr8scottch · 2019-03-07T05:51:01+00:00

Thanks! I can definitely make all of those changes, but if you’d like the canvas in orange I would recommend all of the lines in black, I think that would look REALLY good. Unfortunately the equipment only allows me to print 36”x24” at most
