Is it 3 12a rotors? Or something else?

His engine uses all older 13B parts. The only 20B part on that engine is the upper intake manifold and throttlebody. The eccentric shaft is custom machined out of 2-13B shafts. Both intermediate housings are the same standard narrow width unlike the 20B front center housing which is wider. Since this is entirely based off of 13B parts, the front intermediate housing was custom machined to allow a center bearing. His license plate says NOT-20B because it is a 3 rotor 13B. It is slightly shorter than a 20B which is why there is a custom built lower intake manifold.

The E shaft is not two 13B shafts machined together.

The bodykit is from Freedom Bodystyling in Blacktown and was left on the car purely to allow big enough rubber to fit under the guards. Some dont seem to like the body kit, but it does add some high speed stability and if only for that it will remain on the car.

Also look at this beast

The Aussie's sure know how to make these cars look amazing.

What I apparently didn't make clear is that the e-shafts were machined from others, not necessarily just another rotor tacked on.

The purple car there is BUZ-21T, another one of Aus's top rotors. Built by SimplyMaz in Sydney.

I haven't seen much of it lately. The interior is amazing, being full leather, and of very high quality.

Just because it's the same size as a 20B doesn't make it a 20B.

Hitman or anyone else: Should there be any trouble fitting the 17s, Should they fit perfectly without scraping without modifying the suspension to a series 2 rx7.

You can get them through Xtreme Rotaries (and plenty of other places).

Very nice car too.

Talking to the guru guys at sevenstock, those camber plates are much better than the KMAC ones right?

I added them to my list of Australian parts to buy if the US dollar ever gains back it's value to the Aussie dollar. Man I wish I would of bought soo much more stuff when our 51 cents was equal to the AUS dollar......

Uh, I just installed 17s on my car with just a GSL-SE suspension swap. They fit fine, not a bit of rubbing.

I'm sure the pictured cars tires are quite a bit wider than my 205 / 40 / 17's though.
