FWD cars are for real men.

RWD cars are for girls.

Hence 4 * 4 cars are for those with questionable sexuality. *hehe!*

That sounds shit. It would be like BMW bike drivers putting an A series head on their K engines

I guess it's just what different people like. V8s do nothing for me, the LS1s I've seen in RX7s look like a nice install. But personaly I'd keep the rotary.

As for Vtecs. the beauty of them is that when you want to hoon around, revving the tits of it is great. for the rest of the time you can save fuel. This of course if the beauty of the turbo too.

I've never understood people putting V8s in Caterfields either.

richminiturbo i like your s13, looks a decent one!!! mine is the older shape with (excuse the slightly rasist but my indian MOT man said the words to me) the paki taxi blue interiour!!!!

they are skittish in the bad weather buts its weather you can drive rear wheel drive! i'm ok, i drive like grandad & only hooon around islands in the damp too tke a bit of pressure off the tyres etc, ice is best!

mine once running sgould be putting out around the 200bhp mark on 14-15psi, i've just bought a walbro 255ltr pump!

alex a k-series with a decent exhaust gets some ponys & it sounds brilliant!!! my metro 1.8 k-series had 150lbs of torque due to using an emerald ecu, thats was scarey in the damp!

v8 in any form i love!!!! specially the bearbore brothers reliant kitten v8 & i know a chap with a tvr 5ltr v8 in a road legal moggy minor! stripped out & just awsome fast!
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lZqsxkDbphQ

i agree for being fast, fun, practical & sencible-ish a 4wd car like the scooby legacy, forester, or an evo toned down in the styling stakes is the best allrounder!

but then you'd only have one car

mini is always no1 for me &

others come behind

lol that sound right as a statement!!!! *happy* lolhahahaha

im more handy with a soldering iron than i am with a spanner, the car does (did) have alot of electrical gremlins, but getting ontop of them slowly and surely, modernising the loom as i go :) its had atleast 2 electrical fires in its life already as far as i can tell from various bits of loom i have came across and replaced.

Have you heard of a place down in Portsmouth called RE:Worx? I worked there last summer helping to build their time attack car, was great! I love rotary's now, couldnt believe how simple they are![/quote]

Yeah Richie there well known in the Rotary world... not all that complicated are the rotaries... just all the vacum hoses on the 13B can be a bit of a chore...Im sure you know all about that LOL and about putting the V8 block into an RX, It fooks up the 50/50 weight distribution... Id be mutch more interested in a big turbo tripple rotar from a cosmo*happy* now thats the best of both worlds.. big power and you keep the handling*smiley*

regards, Mark

oh n heres a pic,

Ill be going single in the near future, might keep the creature comforts though cause its my daily driver*happy* tripple rotor is an amazing engine!!!

a 13b with a big single is the sex, get rid of teh TT vacum hoses, power steering, air con and emissions crap and its a joy to work on with the extra room and a frighteningly fierce engine. yet to drive a 3 or 4 rotor motor :(

I've been looking into Rx7s recently. Love rotory engines. Definatly considering a Rx7 for my next daily. Will be looking for a new daily after christmas too.

Do all rx7s have rear seats and can anyone actully fit in them? lol they just look like holes in a parcel shelf.

The seats if you want to call them that are rediculously small.. no room for anyones legs... so possibly good for midgets LOL I think the UK cars have storage bins instead... a much better idea if you ask me... I love my RX daily driver, such a smooth delivery of power with the sequential twins and with simple mods your quicker than most things on the road... although they do like to drink*frown*

Seen you on a few forums looking for an S12

Glad you managed to find one in the end!

Here is my S13. It's such a different animal to the mini but is just as fun. Took it too a drift what you brung day the other week to try and get used to how it handles. That was big fun, my skills ran out long before the tread on the tyres though!
