Craigslist find: Rotary Spitfire! Local 2 me!

Hey guys, I was really shocked when I ran across this today. This car was built last year by a member of our sportscar club. Beautiful car. The guys knows his stuff and is 100% a "car guy". IIRC he builds superchargers for a living.

They were autocrossing it for a couple of years, I believe it had a motorcycle engine at that time (Hyabusa maybe?).

Then last year he started talking to me about a rotary swap, and that's all she wrote. If I had more time and money, I'd be all over this. What a blast it would be just to mess around with.
