Interesting stuff, just make sure the engines don't have their apex seals in them. They're as soft as playdoh, I blew 5 motors with them back in 2000-2001 when I didn't know any better

eh ... if only the engine was the only thing to worry about. can you imagine how much it would cost or how much trouble it would be to have a 6 rotor engine fixed?

i did a quick search on google and hurley seems to be the only company that makes them.

have you guys seen the video of the widebody white fd with a 4 rotor? the thing revs and sounds like an F1 ..... oohhh things i would do to own that car lol

duno ... cut the inside of the front bumper for sure, relocate radiator and extra slim fans and maybe whats under the hood won't be noticeable from outside

They never actualy built a 6 rotor. Those are just housings lined up for a picture. They stated that they had the capability to build them upon request though. I spoke to Eamon Hurley several years ago about that. He doesn't even do custom built 3 rotors anymore.

I'm not surprised really. I never thought he was that innovative, I've stayed far away from all of his stuff after my horrible experience with his 'tip seals'.......
