if this thread is moved souley because i showed a picture of a motor that is bull **** bucause it is nothing about the motor.

And sorry none of you can just respect horsepower, because as far as im concerned, rotary or non-rotary, horsepower is horsepower.

and im suprise more of you arent asking about the suspension set...lol

Looking good, dude.

What are you intending on using this car for? Drift events? If so you need to have some door bars installed, also factory dash is needed to compete.

SO what are these suspension mods you are doing?

Nice job on the cage, suspension mods should make it a fun car to drive. Agreed, hp is hp, more is better, lol.

I grew up with V8s and muscle cars. I still love the sound of them and have a hard time getting a stiffy over the sound of most of the smaller cu. in. imports.

What size and type of material was the cage built from by the way? I like the look of that size in the interior, but I'm curious as to material diameter and wall thickness.

This guy rotor vs. piston is smart. Rotaries are just headaches... they're just sparing themselves from it, lol

i cant remember off the top of my head of the size of tubing used. I will find out when i get back home (im in chicago right now)

however as for the wheel well rust. the car will be mini tubbed hopefully within the next 2 months...so rust be goooonnne!!

Suspension (disclaimer...mismatching car parts )

240sx coilvovers 8/6kg spring setup
Toyota 8" rear end (should be good for around 500whp)
custom mounts in the rear.

BTW. Rotor Vs. Piston - it seems you had to cut the hood support to fit mines still intact.

And thank you everyone for the COMPLIMENTS.

and Twisted Customs is a rock crawling builder, they do all my welding. I do the fab work, they weld it up.

The hood support was cut to fit in the V8 I ran for a few years. I have other hoods, just never tried to see if they would fit. :shrug:
