k******s and i******k i need your help

ok guys i'm 17 years old and attend big sky high school in montana. i'm a senior and hope to be graduating this year. but in order to graduate we have to do senior projects and write senior papers. so i decided to write my paper on rotary engines and i'm going to do my project on my 87 turbo II. so i was wondering if i could interview you guys over the phone? i want to use you as sources for my research paper so any feedback would be awesome. pm or email me. my email is toonster4652@msn.com thanks guys

well the proactive thing would be to call/contact their business.

rotaryresurrection.com and mazdamark.com.

But I'm sure mark will be chiming in a few anyhow

it would probably be easier to do research instead of verbal research. thats also putting them in a weird position.
as for a good source: http://www.monito.com/wankel/

No it's against forum rules, which no one seems to ever understand.

Besides, why the hell would you post it in the 2nd gen forum asking something like this? Why not PM then...

sorry about the names guys. anyway i have already gotten most of my info but i need two primary sources the easiest to sight and use are phone interviews so i figured these two guys no a **** load they'll bee good. anyone else who considers themselves rotary experts is more than welcome to volunteer for an interview. jus pm and i'll get back to ya. cus the more sources i hae the better. and with the names icemark is his screenname not his real name and i think its safe to say that every one here knows who kevin and icemark are.... seriously they're freaking rotory gods!!!

So long ad you can keep it under about 30 mins. then I don't mind at all. GIve me a call tomorrow afternoon or evening, say after 2 or 3pm EST (we're 2-3 hours ahead of you). IF you dont get me leave a message with your name and number and why you're calling, and I'll do my best to get back with you within a few hours.

My number is listed on the website.

Yay?

If you'd like to interview me I'd make a great addition to the paragraph in the paper that explains that most owners suck *** at mechanics and can't get their cars running

I personally think this **** needs to be stopped. The man was a mod for a short time and I agreed with what he was trying to do, but he was run off before he could effect many changes. Now all you other guys just want to give him ****. What, you trying to run off the most knowledgeable person on the forum? Show some f*cking respect...

On a different note, miss the vert much?
Yeah. to a degree, but I dont miss having 3 cars packed into a basement and never getting to drive any of them, and having to keep all 3 of them maintained and cleaned.

I've already thought about it, but the FD will keep me pacified for some time. I have actually thought of selling it, and the s-10, and getting a g35 coupe. Those are sweet rides.

BUt yeah, anytime I want an FC I can get one and build it, no problem. Ive actually thought about finding a clean GSLSE and playing with that for a while. Most of them are junk, though.

....soo what was the point of quoting me in your response... by saying "lol, you and ted" i was just saying that aaroncake always seems to be upset at ted for some reason. I really hate defending/explaining myself on the internet. There was no need to direct your response to me.

This was not directed at you. I quoted your response to bring light to the fact that aaron is always taking jabs at Ted, and Im not the only one to notice it. The response was directed to anyone who wants to read it.
