I'd love to see some really high res shots of this set up without a breather on if you have any. I bought the kit used,and trying to determine what's missing. I have all new gaskets..the acc cable bracket.

Man in Black - That made no sense whatsoever. That's also an FD engine bay.

I've blown up cars with Stock parts. I'd be interested to see how big the explosion could be with some aftermarket parts!

I was hoping to see some pics of the unit installed. i am familiar with the Racing Beat website. I've ordered a few things from there recently. I'd like to have some comparison pictures.

This car was in pieces when i got it. I put a stock intake and carb on it, and got it running. Not i'd like to get it running right. I just am really new to Rotary Engines, and i don't want to miss an oil feed line, or not hook up the fuel lines correctly. Something Dumb....That text based instructions aren't going to help me catch.

What are you doing in Lima? You must be a UNO student, farmer, oil refinery worker or crack dealer If you're at UNO then you need to talk to Henry Bobalau if he still teaches there, the school has a 13b bridgeport FB with a holley that he takes care of and he's built many rotaries and knows his stuff. If you need more help I'll let you know when I make a trip back up there, still have some friends in Lima.

Believe it or not, I'm probably the only person in this town with an RX7 who didn't attend UNOH. My neighbors are UNOH students, but none of them are confident working on Rotaries.

I run a temp agency up here. My ex-wife lives here, so I'm here till my kids graduate.

You hit the nail pretty close to the head....you named just about all of the possible scenarios for employment here in SLIMA...

I bought the car on craigslist for $300. the kid I got it from had started this Holley conversion. He had a carb, and had ripped the whole intake system off the car. I put it back to stock (Minus the rats nest) to make sure it would run with a junk yard Nikki, and now I'm beginning to build the car. I drove an RX8 in 05 and fell in love. I wanted to work on something I could make quick, and wouldn't be afraid to tear up...Plus I love the challenge of working on a car nobody I know seems to understand.

You guys have all been a great help!
