Rotorhead.ca

It's official, my RX-7 resources and parts site has it's own domain. I pointed all the old pages to the same spot so older threads will still show images and the hypertext links will continue working, but those of you who have it bookmarked (all 3 of you ) might want to update the info

http://www.rotorhead.ca

Nice site - rotary clocks look pretty nice - perhaps when I'm done sinking money into my baby (do we ever really stop?) I'll pick one of those up

yeah, that was one of those well-if-I-don't-come-up-with-something-good-I'll-use-that-domain-name sort of ideas. I thought tachtech was kinda neat, but didn't tell people what the site was about.

I put the rotary clock on there because I see the silver painted ones on eBay all the time, yet Daniel takes the time to actually polish the rotor, not spraypaint it, and sells it at a price that's the same as or less than what I see on eBay

Thats one of the reasons why I never bought one, I like the natrual metal look. The painted ones look "fake".

Yeah, that clock was pretty nice. Good name for the site, too, by the way. Definitely needs more Gear Girls, though!

hope this addition to http://www.rotorhead.ca isn't viewed as being 'too political' for a ReX site... I just got sick of all the Canada vs. US crap in the lounge...

The site's lookling sweet Manntis. One complaint, the beautiful gear girl in the wet bikini is washing a MUSTANG !!!! What the hell !!. I know you'll get some pics of chicks washing the "right" kind of cars for your target audience soon. And if it doesn't happen soon I might have to take matters into my own hands and find some hotties to wash my SA, and yes I know it's winter...all the better for bikini girls.

No motor were hurt in the making of the clocks. These motors all had blown seal, bad housings, locked beyond redemption, and just plane broken. Trust me the ones that run sit in the shop until a go cart comes around!!.

As a previous owner of a 12A RX-7, I was pleasantly surprised by the larger 13B engine lurking under her hood. With 34% more stock horsepower over a 12A, this fuel injected rotary engine can really make this pocket rocket blast down twist roads.
down twist roads eh?
