Known as Powerpoles. Some very interesting body lines in that vehicle.

I've popped a few 600 amp fuses in a forklift at work, the battery connector gets pretty hot when that happens. Can't imagine what Mazda is using that for. Nice car, but not the best Mazda. This is: |

THe Furai is the SICKEST LeMans proto car ever made. It totaly out classes the 787(B) from the 90's. Just listening to it sit there and idle gives me the chills. And at speeds, the damn thing sounds like a jet. It's crazyness I tells ya! |
