RX-7 1980 SA22C 12A BridgePort at Teuven Hillclimb 29-8-2010

Yearly Hillclimb in Teuven (Belgium) with a lot of different cars but here is just a clip of my friends 1980 RX-7 SA with a 12A bridgeport.
The smoke doesn't mean it's broken, the rotary is being premixed.

What the hell is wrong with that car?

@TheTopBloke

Absolutely nothing, it's being premixed

[theunseen1]

@bakednoodle .... A rotary does not have valves or piston rings.

[bakednoodle]

valve stem seals or piston rings are gone :D

@TheTopBloke Yes, some rotary guys ditch the oem oil metering pump, and use premix in the tank. it's said to be an improvement over the stock system which directly injects oil into the combustion chamber. Rotaries don't have heads nor valve train.

@citromaz Forgive my ignorance. What do you mean by premixed? Like a 2 stroke? Maybe the camera lens is funky or the location, but it seems to me like the car is going slow and blowing smoke like it's got a blown head gasket.
