Our car review of this beautifully restored Mazda Savanna RX-3. As usual, Mark and Stu find some twisty roads to take this 1970s beauty for a spin. Do we find a little bit of Rotary engined love? With a 13B rotary engine and transmission from a later model Mazda RX7, and boost set to about 14psi, it has plenty of get up and go.

Hi Mark, this my first time to your channel. Thanks for honest and good review on the RX3, but I couldn’t handle that guy next to you..all he did was whine and not in a good supercharger/gimlet type of way. I’m not being rude, as I’m sure Stuarts a nice guy but I think Stuart would be greatly appreciated at the local Miniature Train meets or Indoor Bowls to name a few as his personality would fit right in. Keep up the good work. Cheers! Scott

Oh ouch. Just for the record, Stu is the guy who edits the videos, plays the opposing role when it's good cop bad cop time, and moderates the comments. So he's seriously pissed at the moment at the sugggestion that he's a whinger. He's definitely not an indoor bowls kinda guy. He represented his country as a marathon runner so he's more an outdoor kinda guy thanks sport. Why don't you watch the video of him navigating in the RX8 Turbo in Targa Tasmania, or one of other rallies. Or watch the IONIQ 5N review, or any other effing review for that matter. (By the way, it's Stu writing this, not Mark). So I say poo bum tit to your opinion Skotty. I'll still give your comment a like though as you're clearly a rotary tragic.

@landhopper4296 2 года назад

Must say I was smiling throughout as Mark clearly likes it and Stu clearly doesn’t. Great footage of Australia through the window!

@inCARnationAustralia 2 года назад

I wouldn't say I don't like it. It was a bucketload of fun. Reminded my of the sort of cars I grew up with. Rorty, a bit sketchy, missing a few creature comforts. (SG)

G'day Mark, loved the 1999 GTP bathurst win in the SP RX-7,i watched it live on TV and still have the recorded VHS! cant wait for that episode .

@markwilliamson3185 Год назад

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the old 99 GTP race it was a nice one to win. Should have the race winning RX7 on our channel soon.

What a beauty. Here in the US we definitely look to Australia/NZ for the cutting edge in rotary culture and builds and you guys never disappoint! I currently have a '76 808 converted to RX3 spec (12A nose, etc.) with a turbo 13B and also have an RX3 wagon in the works, so I'm a bit biased.

@markwilliamson8662 2 года назад

Yes a really fun car to drive. You have some cool Mazda’s there, the RX3 wagon sounds awesome.

The dream car !!

"You don't see many of these" haha no but the ones you do see all have the same oversized FR simmons.

@nova-oy4qy 2 года назад

I could tell Stu really enjoyed the 1970's suspension. lol

@inCARnationAustralia 2 года назад

It did make me laugh. Perhaps not as bad as it looked on video. But I can't imagine doing a rally stage like Oyster Cove in it the way it's set up. That'd be pretty sketchy.

@alastairwatson3201 2 года назад

Correction: first there was the R100. Otherwise, a great video; nicely researched, narrated and filmed. I’ll be subscribing.

@GCL110 2 года назад

Actually the Cosmo Sport was but yes the R100 was the first available locally. They also pictured an 808 coupe and called it a Capella lol

An original, stock Rx3 coupe sold at Lloyds auction for 136k a few months ago. Rx3 is more desirable to some and me than a GT3. The sound of the rotor is the music, what is this whining about that there is no entertainment music in this machine, I heard nothing but sweet rotor music throughout this video!!.

@markwilliamson8662 2 года назад

I agree, the engine sounded sweet

@RobSchlegel 2 года назад

Awesome car Peter, don’t listen to Stu! 😉

@alfredeinstein5838 2 года назад

You don’t see many in this condition? Come to Bankstown.

@inCARnationAustralia 2 года назад

ha ha! Yep.

@somecunt777 2 года назад

That colour is from a FC, I think it was called shade green.

@nova-oy4qy 2 года назад

IIRC the 787b won Le Mans because it was the most reliable car on the track that day. imaging that.

@inCARnationAustralia 2 года назад

good point!

@Skarajew 2 года назад

was also a 26B (quad rotor)

@angusseletto1511 Год назад

R100 was the first Rotary not Rx2,Possibly the rarer Cosmo even.R100 had 10a Rx2 had 12a twin dizzy and my 74 Rx2 Sedan had 12a single dizzy.

@1974mazdarx3sedan 2 года назад

haha nice one. how much and who do i pay to get these two to make a video like this with my car?

@markwilliamson8662 2 года назад

Pleased to say you can pay us directly! Please send us a pic of your car.

@GCL110 2 года назад

Why on earth would you pay.. they should be paying you!

@goldenchild7360 2 года назад

I don't speak any Japanese, but the add did a far better job of selling the car than you did. Love it but this ones for the mantle piece.

@inCARnationAustralia 2 года назад

Ha ha! The English subtitles kindly provided by my partner Helen (who is fluent in Japanese) is legitimate (except for the "whip it good" bit - sorry I couldn't resist). But don't watch the ad too many times - I can't get that "Savaaaanna" out of my head now. So Japanesy-cheesy.

@stevensmi1167 2 года назад

Recon mark woul have driven 4 ever he just got fed up of stu s noise ya lucky he didn’t ditch ya stu 🤣🤣

@yardjunky Год назад

Lucky they did not hit boost, they would have crapped their dacks!

@rosswonderley4794 2 года назад

Fond rotary memories, but the steering and suspension were both terrible, if typical for 1970s Japanese cars. The Rx2 that I had needed a 65 litre fuel tank. The fuel consumption was massive for someone whose income consisted of mowing his grandmother's lawn.

@markwilliamson8662 2 года назад

Yes Ross I agree with your thoughts. This car has had a lot on money spent and has had a great restoration, so steering and suspension is pretty good, considering the design. I know petrol was cheap back then, but that’s still a lot of lawns to mow !

日本にあっても，１０Ａエンジンを維持管理出来るショップは少ないだろうし，ユーザーもそれほどいない。取材車のコンディションは，素晴らしい！日本では，ＳＡＶＡＮＮＡの希少性を分からない馬鹿どもが，ほとんど廃車にしてしまった。海外で大切にされてるなら，それでいいと思う。

@inCARnationAustralia Год назад

Google Translation : Even in Japan, there are not many shops that can maintain and manage 10A engines, and there are not many users. The condition of the interview car is wonderful! In Japan, idiots who didn't understand the rarity of SAVANNA almost scrapped it. If it is valued overseas, I think that's fine.
