okay I really don't know what to say about this other than hmmm and scratch my head.

www.tamondesign.com price is around $22,000 if I did the conversion correct.[attachment=40124:attachment]

[attachment=40125:attachment]the front hood and fascia is almost IDENTICAL

RotaryVillain 11-09-2006 08:23 AM

that car only in colored Orange was the cover car a few months back on superstreet if i remember correctly



i dont care for the rear part too but i like the front



regardless. it is a shitload of custom design/fab work which must be respected

Are you planning on doing it??

herblenny 11-09-2006 12:44 PM

Scoot 4 rotor (12As).

black93fd 11-09-2006 02:22 PM

the only way that I would do it is if I was using a different front end I do like the scoot rx7 which is the same kit minus the lights and hood and also I can't afford to put that much money into a body kit

I knew it was a 4 rotor but I had guessed that it was 2 13b's I have heard rumors of people doing 2 12a's. why wouldn't they just do 2 13b's wouldn't it be more effective to have more displacement or are there more complications involved with doing a 13b 4 rotor setup vs a 4 rotor 12a setup?

herblenny 11-10-2006 11:22 PM

There are couple of reasons for 12a's vs. 13b's.



1. 13b's will be longer and maybe not fit properly in the area?? Who knows..

2. these engines are p-ported engines.. hence you could use custom made eshaft. These eshafts are usually one piece and they don't handle high load very well. Longer they are less strong they are... This might be the reason..



Maybe they just had ton of 12a engines to work with.

black93fd 11-11-2006 05:43 AM

yea that is a good point about the load on the e-shaft. I was at Steve Kahn's shop last year and he had completely snapped his e-shaft from his 20b in his fd. last time I talked to him he was still trying to figure out how the hell he did it. Is this common? I hear about people brreaking seals all the time but that was the first time I've heard of braking an eccentric shaft.

yeah the kit alone is 22k. any decent body shop you'd pay at Least 10k for installing and painting that thing.

it is a complete rear taillight AND headlight conversion! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.gif the rears talights are from an infiniti Q series or whatever the highest series infinit is.the headlight are from Trial Racing and are probably costing 1k EACH

the scoot 4 rotor car was a silver version of this with the unmodified front end same rear though. the orange one around now with the complete kit is a 2 rotor with a t51-r turbo. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif go to superstreet and search for it was a cover car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.gif

but it does remind me of a mercedes/infiniti and c6 lovechild.
