New from Ireland

Hello all,

I'm Dan and as from the title, I'm from Ireland. I have the car shown below and after my current engine popping a core plug in a recent frost we had I decided to fit a rotary engin. My brother had an FD RX7 for a while which had me amazed by the engine and got rid of all the scare stories people who don't know about the engine, keep spreading.

Anyways, here is the car soon to be fitted with a rotary.


Hope yee can help me and don't get fed up with all my questions in the coming weeks!!!


Cheers lads,
Dan

Oh, man....with those small tires, it's just going to be a tire smoking beast from Hell!

Thanks for registering, thanks for the pic and welcome to RX-7 Club, Dan!

It's an 1979 Opel Kadett C. I don't think there is any equivalents in America but in Australia they have the Holden Gemini which is basically the same.

In Australia and New Zealand people have fitted a rotary to them but here in Ireland I belive I will be the first to do it....here's hoping anyways. I like to be different.

I've always liked C Kadett Coupe. And with a rotary engine! I bet you'll be getting strange looks when people find out what's under the bonnet, since neither the Opel or rotary is considered reliable. It's surely gonna be a sweet ride.

Ya there are some crazy engined Kadetts around Europe, M5 engines and the likes. Like all the others I like to do something different.
