[quote name='Il RX8 lI' date='May 12 2005, 07:36 PM']I don't see why we don't see more of this anyway. Why don't we have some rotor heads working as a dealership mechanic? You take someone who's already qualified since they're not "scared to open em' up" and put them on payroll. Bam, instant repairs, done right. (And only done when necessary.) You won't see engine swaps for blown vacuum lines anymore.

so this being friday now and my week has been solid rotary i was looking forward to working on a normal piston car for a changeup. so when i saw a gulf cart toeing in a its miata race car i knew this was coming right for me. well as luck would have it it did. cool car full nascar style roll cage a steering wheel that comes off , window nets fire supression system the whole ball of wax. then i find out it dont run. turns out this is a motor swap from hell and i now have to figure out what they did and fix it.
