Nice. A friend's father has a midget, they are a nice little car. Sticking na in a soft top is a good idea I think you would be popping windscreens otherwise. There is a guy on the adaptronic forum who has a big turbo setup in one of the hard tops

That was my thinking. I doubt this chassis could handle large amounts of torque without deforming. An NA rotary should be the perfect swap in one of these. Lots of power, but low end torque should not be excessive. We'll have to see how it comes out.
