PAC Performance<\/a> built another amazing Mazda RX-3 at their Australian company. The classic sedan is powered by a turbocharged 1.3 L 13B two-rotor built by PAC Performance. It features PAC Performance’s billet plates, Garrett G42 turbocharger, Pro-Jay Typhoon intake manifold with 87 mm DBW throttle body, M&W CDI ignition coils, and 2000 cc injectors. The motor makes 500+ hp to the wheels on E85 fuel and Motec M130 ECU. The drivetrain starts with a C4 three-speed automatic transmission and ends with a narrowed 9-inch rear end. Behind the RC Components Torx wheels (15×4, 14×8) are Wilwood four-piston brakes front and rear. The body features a custom grey paint and Savanna front lip and taillights. The interior retains the factory seats and door panels. PAC Performance added a roll cage, Momo Fighter steering wheel with paddle shifters, and Motec C1212 digital display. <\/p>\n
