I didn't know you could breed them like that. It looks a lot easier than rebuilding.

The hard part is keeping the breed pure, I had a B16 in the shop one time and you should have seen the mess they made.

I'm in trouble, need to go check the shop. I have a Z31 engine nestled between an SE and S4. Those will be some ugly progeny.

Spend a 100k and by a 4-rotor motor, then at least that much again to build the car for the engine to sit in, simple.

You have no idea how loud a rotary can be. I ran a 3" side pipe off the headers on my 1/2 bp, just for the hell of it. At idle, it messes up the pixel quality on my camera. I had ear plugs in just to take the vid, at idle.
