accidental rotary head

mnrthrt · 06-03-2010, 05:25 AM

the name is kurt. im currently deployed in afghanistan and came into some cash so i started on craigslist for a 240sx. thanks to tags i ended on a 91 RX7 N/A all black in really good condition for a good deal. had my lady go pick it up and bring it home. drove it on r&r doing everything i could to blow the motor because i planned on a t2 swap after i found out what a rotary engine was.. well, it never blew up lol. found out im having a baby too so swap is on hold. haha well this was about 4 months ago. i have since read everything about rotaries, ordered rotary featured cars tuner mags off ebay, bought some books and videos, needless to say. im addicted. haha

the list of purchased parts sitting at home so far

mazdatrix shifter boots and bushings
koyo n-flow radiator
ngk spark plug wires
tanabe front strut bar
tein s tech lowering springs
walbro fuel pump
goodridge ss brake lines
.......................
next month is wheels and tires and paint.

and when i get home im taking the engine out and replacing vacuum lines, intake filter, headers/exhaust, street port and tune up stuff. installing the parts above. if anyone lives around burke county and wants to help for some beer let me know ha
