Yeah, Please post more pictures. I need ideas for my Baja Bug. I'm getting ready to start building a 13b turbo motor on the side. I have a 12a in it now! That little guy got me 100MPH in Apple Vally. Fun stuff!!!!

Well I ran into a lot of problems while trying to tune the car, after a lot of reworking the system I've got it pretty well dialed in. My god is this thing down right scary. Thank god I was able to do a few pulls before swapping to the right jets. The throttle cable stuck on me, and I went for the ride of my life. We're going to try and get some videos in action at the dunes, unfortunately its been raining....

U know when i had my sandrail with a vw engine on it I had to rebuild the engine every season, there was no way to keep the sand out, Im thinking the rotary would be less likely to bite it seeing as it is a little tighter tolerance then the vw's

Buggies are awesome to work on. There is so much room and everything is out in the open compared to a car! Here is the last one I did at the *other* place...

Nice work Dave. Yeah I really dig working on these, so easy to work on, not to mention the heat is so low since its not trapped in a box.

Well I tried to tune the thing out in the dirt, and it just spins tires in every gear. Going to the dyno Thursday. Gotta love the power to weight ratio though, man 5psi feels like most single Rx-7s at 15+..

Along time later I finally figured out a lot of problems on this car, redid the engine, and most of the carb/ignition setup. Almost there!
