I own 2 rotory powered vehicles. Both under construction. 1 drivable. The first is going to be a resto-mod 1976 RX-4. The second will be a 1985 RX-7 Supercharged!!!
My first car was a 1983 RX-7 for $200 and had rust everywhere. I street ported it and put a Racing Beat aluminum flywheel. Everyone wondered how a heaping pile with a 1146cc was keeping up with and/or beating their 6 and 8 cylinder engines, good times.
I will post pictures soon, as well as update on what I have and will do.
