the BMW and making it a dedicated drag car, i also thought of putting a rotary in it, but i wasnt sure how hard it was going to be, and i read the first few posts in this thread and someone turboII said
yeah 510's, starlets and 2002's are great for a rotary.
which makes me even more interested in it. so how hard would it be to put it in there?

he lives in korea town. i doubt he had even started the project. i think he just finally sold his bridgeport fb and a couple of his street port motors. the 2002 has been sitting there on stands for quite some time. his new toy is his vw thing.



i would think the plan for the 2002 would just be a daily driver that is exempt. :wink:

I need to get my friend to start working on his 02 so that we could put in a rotary. As it sits now it needs floors, rockers and is sitting on a rotisserie. Anyone know where to get floors for the Bmw.
