its a classic but i don't thin it meets scca vintage status yet if it does i will enter mine in the future but i don't think it has hit that aged perfection yet. Hey ray i still play with slot cars and i am 30 :P

 

Frankly I do not thing the FB will be a classic until people can differentiate between an FB and a datsun/porsche

 

Also, I am loving the Testa Rossa on the prev page

 

When they meet the age requirement for SCCA vintage racing, they'll need an SCCA logbook to get on the track. Kinda a double whammy. No logbook showing it really was a racecar back in the day, makes for a much more difficult chore to get it into the vintage racing class.

 

ok my 2 cents

if you do the math dose it come to measure up to a 20B and was it made of renesis engine parts then it be a renesis 20B

and on that two seater 3-rotor compact look up the mid 80's MX3 concept car on a mazda 20B info site

In response to the Rotary MX5 it is how the miata should have been and what the RX7 could have been. They were smart to put a 1.6L in the early models as the car will get 400+KM on a 50L tank of gas in hard driving, the car weighs 955KG without a pilot and will take corners like no other car I have driven.

The RX7 should have followed along these lines, it had the proper powerplant but in my honest opinion it lacked the handling capabilities found in the MX5 which led me to buy an MX5 now I am in the midst of trying to stuff a 20B into my 1990 miata to make it the ulitmate sports car

 

I couldn't find one so I did the next best thing I could.

 

Just curious about the 3-rotor RENESIS, and can't look it up here at work. Because the irons don't look like the extra-thick second iron of a 20B, where the coupling is, did he make this with a slip-on yoke for one rotor, or was he able to get the coupling short enough that it fit within the length of a RENESIS iron?

If he did slip on a coupling, I wonder if he used a 20B e-shaft, which I assume has the rotors 120-deg out of phase. It'd be crazy to think that he'd have the front and rear rotors in phase with each other with some crazy counterweighting, but I can't think of how he'd have done it. Maybe cut down a 20B e-shaft so it would fit with regular irons?

Jeff, you got your thinking cap on?

 

Short 3 rotor shaft. A 20B shaft is longer. Rotor phasing is 120° as usual.

 

So is the longer iron in the 20B unnecessary? Sounds like they worked around it pretty handily.

 

It is if you have a stationary gear in one of the intermediate plates.

 

Which some people can machine for you.

There is a pdf floating around describing the procedure for installing a stationary gear in an intermediate plate. Someone might see this thread and post a link to it.
