as for sticking the supra motor into that car good choice..kinda. i was reading thru a hot rod mag and a guy slapped one of those into a camaro. lole a 68. was pushing like 800++ at the wheels and all he did was new turbo upgraded the valve springs and cammed that bitch out. easy power. and since toyota didnt change anything in the blocks in the last like 40 years or so its eay to find parts when it goes boom!

If the rotary could make reliable power with good gas millage cheaply I would totally keep it. It's a fun motor and I love the concept. But communism works in concept too... Lol

I'll be starting a build thread soon...
haha in concept.
if you cant build a moderatly quick rotary engine for less then 3k, then you have a problem! but at the same time have any of you ever driven a 1jz power car.. ? i never like supras untill i drove a 1jz mark III. now a stripped 1j rx7 would kick some serious ***.

You know to be honest i like the concept of communism more than the rotary engine.
