they say the 2JZE was touched by God. Well this my friend...was EMRACED by God.

WOW. Nice nice setup my friend. 13B housings or did someone finally make a running12A 4 rotor?

PP 4 rotor...amazing. How much power you estimate? 1,000,000? And what's gonna put that power to the ground? =D

I'd love to start that thing up, and give the throttle cable a little tug...probably blow my ear drums.

Now the big question: Is he going to do the South African thing to do, and put it in a Volkswagen?

haha yeah im not a big rotary vdub fan either. But hey hes just going for best times on the strip so a bug aint a bad choice. And rotary Mazdas are EXTREMELY rare here in South Africa (cept for rx-8), thats part of why i love my seven .

GlewsRX, that was hilarious, man!

I can't imagine that thing in an fb. You'd have to lengthen the hood, or move the driver's seat back into the storage bins! lol.
