just to let everyone know who's interested, im starting my rotary AE86 project next month. Using the motor from my 84 gsl-se, with internals from a 91 n/a, and a custom built garrett t3/04.

Make sure you post pics (engine mounts & ****)....I've been wanting an AE86 for a while...GTS are too $$$ and to convert an SR5 is a pain in the ***. I was actually thinkin of doing an N/A swap. I could probably get away with an SR5 with a 13B carby swap.
