New Zealand RX7 1986 Group B

[Sja620]

Man this makes me miss my 85 Rx7.

[nanofrass]

U can see in other videos that the mazda rz7 B is not 4wd. while drivin u can see that cause of the car is slangin around in tight corners.

[denbynz]

do you have any footage of it being flown into (under a chopper) Maramaura Forrest HQ for the Cibe Lights rally?

[Motorsportmemories]

No sorry I don't have any footage of that. Regards Michael.

[GravityFedMotors]

the group B rx7s that you will see are not 4x4 cars though. Rod millen and a few private groups did go this route, i have images of the componenets layed out and installed, but the factory produced cars were rear wheel drive and surprisingly, were not elabroate at all.

[thePixolated]

who would drive a 4x4 rotary... i certainly woulden't, and ive never heard of a 4 wheel drive rotary ever, where would the front axil connect?

[BFMR1062]

well im not sure but the Grp B RX7 was 4X4 so googel it :)

[AnttonAA]

To the gearbox?

[Gavyn84]

4wd rx-7 ftw

[fc3skids]

Learn2knowcars faggot

[Gavyn84]

actually group b did have 4x4 rx-7's. perhaps you should follow your own advice (homologation number B-255) = 4x4 Mazda 13b turbo RX-7.

[Klutchylol]

Except that this isn't a 4x4 Rx-7...so your comment is completely invalid.

[Klutchylol]

Seeing as i cant paste links. Do a google search for "Neil Allport Rx-7"

halfway down you'll see a Rallye-Info website, it'll be Neil Allports driver info page. Scroll down until you see "RX7 (FB/1) _" and click it. It will give you all the specs on the car in question.

[Gavyn84]

i see that this is not a 4x4 rx-7, wish it was, cannot find any video footage of the car in question :(

[fueldragster]

@Gavyn84 If you look up "1985 Press On Regardless Rally" it does show some brief footage of Millen's 4wd RX7 and "1988 Ashley Forrest Stage Sprint" also shows it

[GravityFedMotors]

mainfrieghts car is not 4x4

[nickrapids]

nothing like the sound of a ear-spliting rotary.pure sex!!

[QuertrGTRR]

original sound! no music! 5/5!!!

[rotarypsi]

lol, might not be the best driver, im sure he could out drive you anyday though lol.

[boldrory]

nice car, bad driver

[SevcaCS]

boldrory: Neil Allport bad driver? Finishing 6th overall in world rally race he really must be bad driver.. Its silly.

[glenn1365]

[12valvepower]

[luketaylor101]

[12valvepower]

[eldunco]

[12valvepower]

[Motorsportmemories]

I have put up a video Meekings I think.I could not find the entry list to check the car he was in.

Please let me know if I got it right.

[mikeharrowfield]

Great clip, any video of the Adams/Meekings Group A corolla?

[yazurt]

mean

[DebKibble]

Many many thanks for posting this valuable clip. Bert was thrilled to see it. Any more would be a bonus! :)

[Motorsportmemories]

I have a lot of Neil in the RX7 so I will put some more clips up when I get a chance.

[DebKibble]

You are a legend!

[secretRBRman]

wow bravo! i still think the rx7 group-b was the best RWD group-b car!!! lancia 037 had weight towards the rear, making it dangerous, including the porsche. Also the others, manta, toyota twin cam, ect had weight towards the front to much, and wasnt as light as the rotary engine. rx7 had 50/50 balance to begin with, with one very light yet powerfull engine
