Why hasn't anyone tried a mid engine rear wheel drive setup for the rotary? Is it because of the already great weight distribution? obviously a transaxle would have to be fashioned, but still, wonder how it'd handle.....

rotary Bugs are pretty common (well, in the world of rotary swaps)

 

three is a 3 rotor delorean somewhere

 

yeah but a bug is hardly mid engine rear wheel drive :P That's kewl, a Rotary Delorean....like to see a picture of that!

i thnk there's a vid on this fourm of the delorean

 

Yea there is a rotary delorean on this board somewhere, use the search function. AS for midengine, RWD that is something someone is going to have to make (the delorean is rear-engined like the bug...) I was thinking of doing that with a vw. Just throw an adapter plate on that rotary, bolt it to a bug tranny, flip the ring and pinion, stuff the whole thing into a car backwards, you got yourself a mid engined RWD car.

 

I thought they used to put the rotary in the Fiat X1/9 as well? Now that would be a FUN car!!

 

it'll handle similar to an MR2 you'd think
