Ive gone to..... the DARK SIDE!

Well of rotaries that is.



Im working on the body harness rite now.
I dont think I will need the AAS system wiring, AC wiring, or electric fan realy any more right?
If I pull lets say the electric fan relay, how should I stop it from throwing a idiot light?

Very nice, one day I wish to join you on that dark side. I just need to buy a house first to store such a project. I hope all your work goes well with little to none hang ups!

That is not the dark side.
In fact, you have seen the light.
Welcome.

Ditto... but then I noticed the flash on the bumper, and how the hood latch looks discolored similarly to the engine... I'm thinking its a combination of the flash and the black engine bay playing tricks with our eyes as to what is or isn't in shadow.

On topic: Ooh, I'm liking this dark side... care to sponsor me into aprenticeship?

They sit funny in the engine bay. Well, most of the time. I have seen a couple that sit just fine, and I have seen a few that don't. It's bizarre.

So what are your plans for it? Rebuild and port? Or leave it how it is right now? Going to run it turbo or n/a? If turbo going big single or keeping it twin?

I wouldn't mind a nicely ported 20b n/a, of course I doubt I'll get around to that any time soon, there are much better means of power vs. cost in my mind, I'll have to wait until I have too much money to know what to do with
