"hey what was the 787b? wasn't that the engine in the lemans car?"



now read what you replied



"i thought the lemans had the 787b"



ok so how does your reply deal with my reply? I was looking for an answer to the question not for you to re-ask it for me...unless maybe you were agreeing with me or something?

NOOOOOO! All wrong. The 787b a lemans race car, not an engine. The R26B was the engine in it. There was also a 787a but the 787b won in 1991 then in 1992 the rotarys were banned from the lemans.



787b

while I am a fan of anyone wanting to do something cool and

custom, a VW Fox is such a worthless and un attractive disposable car,

why bother? Do a bug instead if your into VWs, at least its RWD already.

But think of the money he will save with not worry about scratches, body interiro etc. I see your point though rob, I peronsally would never do it, for the reason you stated.
