The Hate I was referring too was about the BDC sticker :P

As much as I dont "like" the idea of an Piston in the 7, I cant completely understand why.. the rotary is a very very particular engine... requires a balancing act none the less greater or equal too going into business with a family or friends... it can be done.. but there are some very unique challenges one must over come...

a V8 in a rotary is like trying to watch the football game and tune out the spouse that is nagging about not spending enough time with her... quite easy to do

(not trying to be offensive, but you guys get my point :P)

and besides, Sean (FC3S Murray) is doing a great job of converting it over... one of the best and cleanist swaps to date...

Thanks guys for all the compliments and the hate;)!!

...and yes the BDC sticker will go...just so wrong in many ways to sport that with a push rod monster


BTW...i HATE fiberglass wrap! soooooo itchy aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Why do you have 2 different headers for your 4-rotor?







Oh wait........... that's right..............






Whatever you do DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE A HOT SHOWER AND SCRUB TO GET RID IF THE ITCHINESS!!!! Cold shower and I mean COLD!!! To the point where you look like a woman upon exiting! I know that's normal but work with me here ;) :smilielol5:

So THAT'S why I still had fiberglass in my skin the other night after a hot shower LOL. I wish I'd heard this before haha.

This is a super clean build btw. I love the rotary too much to do this to my car, but I won't lie and say it hasn't crossed my mind haha.

Yeah, hot showers open the pores more and the glass gets embedded more.... cold shower is the way to go.

IMHO there are better engines to go in than a V8.... I would do something turbo if I were to ever swap the rotary out. Hell, I'm trying to think of things to swap one INTO

Its OK brian, we all know you mean you need a cold shower to squash the woody you'd have after wrapping those v8 headers.... :lol:

It's funny because I was thinking AS I was taking the shower that it should probably be cold water but I just said the hell with it haha.

I often look at different things I could put a rotary in also. I'd LOVE to do a rotary go-kart...or pretty much rotary anything haha.

WTF are you talking about Joe? I6 or Rotary :cheers2:

And you guys are a bunch of pussies... I spent the better part of the day trimming a Shine Bumper than the better part of the night RE-glassing some of ducting.... tomorrow I'll be trimming again. I may not shower at all just to be a MAN!:ugh2:

You still have not said what happened to the front end :suspect:

TitaniumTT 11-18-2010 07:27 AM

You are correct. No I have not.

GtoRx7 11-18-2010 11:22 AM

Actually for fiberglass, there is a MUCH better way to go than a shower. Get some vinegar, and pour all over your arms and hands and let it soak on there for a few minutes. It will burn, but the vinegar actually dissolves glass. Rinse off and enjoy your day. Just be careful not to be called a douche bag ;-)

NoDOHC 11-19-2010 07:32 PM

Awesome advise, I didn't know that vinegar dissolves glass!

Got my radiator set-up all wrapped up today. Not to shabby for a 1988 C4 vette radiator and a whole lot of love with a 5lb hammer:)
