About 1800lb, but I'm adding a 75lb lead bar in front for better handling.(rear engine) Its got big, big tires on it so it shouldn't do to bad in the corners.(Check out the photo page and the one on rx7forum.com for pics)

Yes, theres no way I can fit a 3 rotr in there. As you can see by the picture I had a tough time getting the TurboII in there.
There has been rotory engines in Kelmarks before , but none I know of with a turboII(over two years of work & $17,000+)

Thanks!
Its taken a lot of work and machining to get it running. Lucky I live about 45 min from the Boeing Aircraft surplus store where I can get Alum. for $1.65 a lb and have access to a milling machine and lathe. I've just redone my cooling lines that come out of the engine and hopefully I got rid of my heating problems. It was a real job stuffing the TurboII into the back of the car,as you can see by the pics.(I've also redone my intake tubing to some high tech looking high-temp material. Silver high-temp stuff that looks like it should be on a NASA rocket, not in a car.)
I just bought a base '86 RX7, so I'm kind of dividing my time between the two cars.
