Who said a rotary is only good for racing? =)
I don't race my car... or even street race... (until I put a bigger engine in sometime in the next year ;)) I think it'd just be cool to have the 'rotary sound'.... Man I love that sound. That's what hooked me on the car originally =) |
Originally posted by Sk8r_dude well a rotary would be good in anything, but i think the miata just isn't the same, its different. its like its just for cruising rather than racing. |
i know, my dads building his miata for racing, but theres still just something different, i cant really describe it.

=)
I love the first and second gears on stock miatas.... Feels like a better ratio then the first couple in my 7... Does anyone know how they compare to 7s weight-wise? (mmm.... Picture that "Rotary Engine" logo on the back of a miata... ;)) |
The fact that the female species have ruined the car by inheriting it as their own, enabling only men comfortable with their sexuality to drive it?
I thought so. I still think the miata should have been rotary from the start, then only REAL car enthusiasts would be able to handle it :D |
oh, i have no problem driving that car! i love it. anyone who calls it a chick car hasn't driven it. i love it, but i love my rex more.
|
i had a miata for a while, and yeah ok it might be a chick car, but that also works in another way. If a dude is driving it, chicks want him too!
I cant count how many chicks wanted a ride. I dont mean to hijack this thread but what do you think of doing a rotory 914? |
My original idea was to buy another FB and transplant a Miata motor and use it as a daily driver. Just to experiment, not to advocate the piston motor in an RX7 movement. I'd use my turbo 7 for when I want to have fun.

No man, definitely do it the other way =)
Can't be too expensive to pickup an early model miata with a blown engine and to find a rusted FB with a decent-condition 12A in it... |
roadsters are all about power vs weight....the 13B is probaly a good 200lbs lighter than the miatas inline four...meaning the suspension can work better and the car is more nimble...i think the rotary engine is the ideal choice for any car. i have often thought about making a mid engine car out of a rotary engine.

How's it illegal to buy two cars, and swap engines?
:scratch::scratch: Jon |
Enigma was stating that I could find a Miata with a blown engine and swap a 12a into it if I'm correct. It's illegal in every state to swap an older engine into a newer car, but most of us get away with it.
