It would only be wrong if you did it to both cars.

I'm pretty sure i'm keeping it rotary, I like the 20b idea but that's big bucks and leaves little for suspension . I think i scoped out the rotary shack site a while back.

It would be a beautiful thing to put 420 hp to the wheels of that little car though.

It is far too wrong to take away the rotary.

And I was playing pool one night and someone asked me if I had a 13b in my car, and when I told them 12a they told me they sucked. I laughed, and said "The 12a may be small, but its kind of a big deal," and found it so funny afterwards that I had to make a banner for it. haha.

I really is though and i do agree. It's pretty impressive that a car with the engine the size of my jet ski's can do 200k on a stretch.

I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean, but hey you mention an ignition system earlier didn't you?

Oh that comment was aimed at the aptitude of the 12a, sorry.

The MSD thing. I was talking about a setup where you trigger a msd from the leading ignitor to fire two coils or a 2ndGen leading coil to directly fire the two leading plugs. The trailing ignition can be left stock. A slick coil setup is to use the trailing coil bracket from the 2nd gen and swap one of the trailing coils for a leading coil. Nice, compact and modern looking. You would not need the 2nd gen ignitors so don't let the junk yard talk you into buying them, just the trailing bracket, one leading coil and one trailing coil.
