THE CAR THAT BRIDGESTONE BUILT.

The car that Bridgestone built, i think it was called the princess.
I would like to see some more information on the car.
Thanks.

I dont think there was a BS car. I think this car idea stems from the fact that Prince Motors supplied or built the first BS clip on bicycle motors. These motorized bicycles were the "parents" of the later BS motorcycles. Prince Motors eventually became more successful at building cars. Prince was later absorbed/purchased by Nissan.

Mornin All,

While we were deciding on making the 350 small end bearings, Kotaro enlighted me to the fact that the Mazda porter cab (360 cc small track) and Mazda Chante (360cc small car ) used 350GTR based twin engine. It was modified to one carburetor. It also used the same size small end bearing by all accounts.

Can't find a photo of the engine! It seems to have been an inline water cooled 2 stroke. Chante Chante Chante Lala La La La

Was the Mazda engine water cooled? Oil injected?
