Hi,
My name is Robert and i was invited here by a friend in the local area. I don't currently own a rotary powered vehicle, but i'm searching! I've always been intrigued by the rotary powerplant and can't wait to get elbow deep in an engine bay. I have a limited budget, but i'm hoping to snag a turbo II model and keep it for a long long time =)

Oh, a lil about me. 30 years young, working at a Goodyear store. I currently own a '04 hyundai tiburon (daily driver) and a '88 pontiac fiero (trade?).

welcome to the club, any questions in particular that you have about the rotary or the FC?

Not at the moment, but thank you for asking. I think i've sourced a nice FC that's currently not running, but i can do the engine rebuild (If it needs one).

It would be my first rebuild, but two of my friends here have rebuilt their own 13b motors multiple times. Just need to check spark, fuel and compression to get an idea of what might be going on =) I'm excited about it and have a feeling it's my first step towards a future of rotor-madness.
