Here's some pics from the weekend. Only cost $104 to put new plates on, transfer the title, and register it for a year. Only took an oil change and a set of wiper blades to make it fully-functional. Fun little car too! I drove a nice trip through the hills today just enjoying a quiet Sunday drive. VERY good handling through the twisty stuff ;)

I'm going to dye the interior. I'm thinking 2-tone Black/Tan ala Ferrari ;) Needs different wheels too, maybe a BBS style mesh something? It's only 13's on there now (which is fine but tires are hard to come by). Might step up to 14's. It has a funky 4x110 bolt pattern though.

Apparently ATV's come with a 4 X 110 Bolt patterns sometimes.

Load rating and DOT approval are likely issues with those though...

Didn't ROH make something for those?

Actually yes you can.  I think the Granny's speed shop link has information on it.



actually the process is not really different than making any other crankshaft.  you cant take 2 two rotor cranks or 3 one rotor cranks and weld them together so they have to be specially cut and balanced as well as the blocks adapted to run side by side.  you've heard money can do whatever it wants? thats what putting them together takes and why its so uncommon.

Shush you! I like magic spinning triangles! :hick:

A slice of pizza is hardly an engine at all. ;)

I hope this purchase is going to be the product of both the 'Missed car' and 'WWY stuff a 2.3' threads.

wonder if you could link two rotory engines together?

Mazda has made twin and triple rotor motors before. I'd imagine that would be easier and cheaper than fabbing one.

TWO slices of pizza! All Mazda rotaries are twin-rotor to start (12A, 13B, Renesis). Then they made the 3-rotor "semi-production" (20B), and the 4-rotor's are $$$$$$ exotic animals (787B LeMans winner).

A few places have figured out how to make 20B's out of 13B's supposedly. Doesn't matter to me though, because this car is staying 2-slices powered ;)

That's something I didn't know. In my defense, it's a rotary. ;)

It's OK, 2 slices of pizza are still small :D (1146cc's or about 70ci's in my 12A) I need extra cheese...

I'd just do the usual upgrades like green peppers, olives, and whatnot, and the later on slap some bannana peppers on there with a hint of jalapeno. Should be rather quick then.:hick:

Great looking RX-7 BTW, been looking for one around here but all I can find in my price range are rotted out beaters with bad apex seals.

Anchovies will help with them apex seals :hick:

The only thing I've done to it so far is changed the oil and filter, new wiper blades, added a battery hold down, and cleaned out and changed the clutch fluid.
