I like going fast. Rotors can go hard, hence I like them. I'm put offf by the cost, and the unwashed hoards of dickheads who identify with them. I can take or leave the noise they make. It's cool sometimes, but when you're as hungover as a mofo, it wearsa bit thin. I know the bloke who owns 13BDAT. he's a good sort. That car made 320hp atw with a 13B PP, and now he's shooting for 500+ with a 13BT. I can overlook the noise, when you think about how fast that will be.
each to his own.

like most I love the shape of the rx2-3 and even the 4 , although im biased on all of these models, in regards to the no of doors, 2 should be the limit :) as for the noise, its not so bad with a decent exhaust.

I use to think rotors should stay out of Datsuns until I found out that Datsun ran a few prototype 1200 with rotors in, now it's all good. I too dislike the unwashed hoards of dickheads who identify with them.

Yeah Datsun played with rotarys back in the early 70s and put them in a 1200 coupe and a 1200 Sedan. They road tested them and had Journalists from all over the world test drive them and were just about to go into production and then pulled production. :badgrin:

Ive got an original article about them with pics and all. Will look at scanning it and posting it up

Triangle and peanut engines are like anal sex...sooner or later you'll end up in the shit. :shock: :? :o

I just don't like the noise of a modified rotary engine. Stock is OK.

alot of people tend to not like rotaz, i can see why, but they have always floated my boat just the amoun of power you can get out of such a mean engine is beyond me, as for some of the people that own rotaz, some are real dickheads others arnt.
