Hey, from the middle of nowhere.

Hello all,

My name's Tiny, and I heard about this site in the latest issue of Modified Mag. I thought i'd give it a shot. I was a member of RX7 club and I got sick of all the whining teenage angst and haters.

I'm a Special Effects Technician with a WRX and a 1991 RX7. Specifically this sorry state of rotary that I picked up for $500.

it currently has no engine and chances are that it wont for at least a few more months. as I am currently unemployed. I plan on putting a turbo S5 engine into it and I look forward to doing me swap research here, with you fine people.

All the best,

Tiny.

Welcome!

Glad you came over to the forum!

Looks like your FC is a good start for a build. But....what is that sexy white thing I see next to it

yeah it's a 62 that belongs to my wife. she's also got an XA that i've touched up for her. I've got some crazy idea that I should drop the old EJ20 from my WRX into it if I ever get an STI swap.

Wow 62; nice.
My dad has a 71 KG and a 72 super beetle that I am helping him restore. I would love to put a 13b into the super beetle......

turbo or NA? and I think that the 13b would sound proper in a super beetle sorta like a pissed off insect.

Wlecome...I too came here as a result of the latest Modified....I wonder how many others we'll get because of that?

The whole water cooled issue is the biggest reason that more old-school VWs don't have rotaries. An NA rotary would run just fine in an original beetle or even a super beetle.

Welcome to the club. For the most part, we are pretty mature and open-minded here, the flamesuits are not required, just come on in and welcome!
