1987 TII build for my son

Thanks B. It's been a good build. However, as of lately, this thing has pushed me. I can't seem to get the timing right, no matter what I do. All of my old school tricks are not working, nothing! She'll fire up, but she's not timed right. She sounds sick, but not bad engine kind of sick. It's gotta be something with the DLIDFIS ignition, timing, or both.

Me and another friend that are having similar rotary woes have even mentioned lately of pulling the rotary stuff and going with something reciprocating. Just can't do it though. At this point of having 24 years of working on these engines/cars, I guess it is safe to say rotary for life.

Thanks for the props on the fuel cell. I'm looking forward to seeing those RX8 seats in your FC also.

Back on the build, I took today off from work, relaxed and got some much needed rest, so nothing has been uploaded. I will update the thread soon with more details and photos.

Thanks again, B. I'll see you in about a month. Bring you some warm clothes. We are already seeing 30s at night.
