Yeah getting to that point, just have to settle a few things first. Namely finding a place to move to that has a nice garage....hate having to move but that's life. My house is in the way of a huge mall they are putting in.



The only real problem I have is a limited parts supply. I'd love to tinker with things, but as I've never done a regular rebuild of a rotary I ought to start there I suppose.



One of the projects I will be doing in the not too distant future is my own engine mointoring system. Not that hard to rig one up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

The thing that has helped me is that I save EVERYTHING. The other day I was getting some parts from my friend, and I asked where to throw some garbage. I looked in the garbage, and there were a bunch of good parts in there. Yay, more junk for me. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

The car is nuts, at first when he gave me a ride, I was thinking "it doesnt feel that much different then my car", then being a piston guy, Im saying "it doesnt SOUND that much different then my car at idle", but when the revs get over 3500 or so, and that turbo spools up its like someone punching you in the ******* back, like getting launched from a sling shot or something, the rear tires break free out of no where.. sigh.... I remember when I used to be able to break street slicks free driving 40mph and flooring it......now my car just makes loud noises and goes nowhere ( at least it looks pretty good going slow though ). Like being all dressed up and no where to go.
