here is my last hatchback experiment....a completely restored 1985 Mazda 626
awsome paint job on this car..."Imeron 6000 polyurithane"
the system was a pair of Power HX2 12" each with a Crown BPX 1100.1 amp
149.2db @ 35hz TL legal on the dash
the box was nicknamed Frankenports from the guys at CarTunes...
the engine was 10.5-1 compression flat tops,
head was C&C ported and shaved 35,000th
it had a custom Shadbolt race cam "redlined at 8,800rpm"
oversized oilpan
a custom adapted intake with a 2 barrel holly carb
and was connected to the ground with a centerforce clutch
not bad for a 2.0L
I never threw any rods but I sucked the oil pan dry ,fixed
that problem with the double size oilpan and had a few rocker
arms break
the car has since been stripped and crushed....the frame was
all cracked and twisted from the excessive torque and HP
but it was retarded while it lasted
this photo was taken at 15hz....you can see the wrinkles in the surround
it almost looks hexagon shaped
