Ah, I know Izumi refused to touch any rotary, so I thought it was weird.
Weird that he just sold you the Autronic - must've cost you a pretty penny???


Ah, just realized you're from Hawaii! You must be the infamous Ted K.? If you are, I've heard you're name around. Its hard as no one around here really knows about rotaries, especially the shops. Do you still do the services you offer on your site?
Oh great, now I'm "infamous". :P

Oh, do you know of any machine shops that can lap the side housing?
No, not locally.
I don't bother with lapped housings.
They are more headaches than it's worth.

Nope, I tend not to drive it much.
If anything it's to work and back, and that's only at night.
During the day I'm sleeping.

It's a compliment that you don't recognize my car.
The car is BUTT UGLY anyways!
The silver GAB Sport rims gives it away though.


Do you go on speed hawaii?
No, sorry.
I don't do that teeny import model thing.

Has anyone tried beveling the rotor's on a turbo motor or would that be unsafe? I would say if you got a spare motor to try.
