There have been many posts like this in the past. You can use the search feature to find more information on this. By the way good luck trying to get a deal on his 7. He won't sell it for a penny less than it is worth.

Ah one of the Alamo Rotary built cars..

I believe he wanted somewhere around 40-45k for it before. I think it's worth 40k..

I wonder if you get a 20b set up just like the one above, you get a traction problem?
i'm looking at the dash, its not stepped back meaning the car is not FMR anymore. (front mid engine rear wheel drive.)
If that was my car i would put it on sale for roughly 33G

P.S Much props to the mechanic who wrenched it, she is a black beauty.

that car was on e-bay a few months back, is it back up? sure looks sweet, but I don't think he got a single bid

the main problem is, if your 3 rotor takes a dump, there are VERY few shops that can work on it and know what they are doing....I think pettit has built more than anyone

I also heard you can't run much boost on a 20b, but the torque leaves the 13B for DEAD

I heard the opposite. I heard that you could run a lot of boost on the 20b. There was a guy on nopistons who worked on that car, and as the price shows they aren't going to sell it cheap.

I'm going to check out the car this weekend. I would have to sell/trade my 94 Touring. One downside is the two tone tan interior which I hate. I spent a lot of time converting my red interior to black.

Nice car, however for the money, I'd just go grab a Vette.

I wanted to get an idea of what I would be able to get If I was selling it. But not many buyer out their for a car like this (except me).

Rated R1 : I switched my interior to BLACK not TAN. I have red leather seats and carpet if you want to buy

a 20B 7 will require an owner with a hard core dedication to three rotor madness

why only 390 hp? Pettit gets 550 out of their Banzai (I think that is crankshaft though, not rear wheel)

like I said, my biggest concern would be if you blow an apex seal, who's going to work on it? no one around me....if you live right next to Alamo I guess you are all set, because I would want the guys who built the thing to work on it

I'll wait for the 4th gen 7....FDs, as much as I love them, just have too many squeaks, rattles, and cheap *** parts for 40k

The ultimate for this car is two BIG single turbo's, that's how to get maximum HP out of this bad boy

Im lost? The 7 is a front/mid engine? I am trying to clear somethings up. So this three rotor did not have it firewall cut/shaved or whatever it needs for the 20b to fit?

I say that car on ebay for 33g's and it didn't sell a while back! You can easily pull 900 horse out of a 3 rotor with upgraded twins!

Yup thats Tito's car. Very nice. My car is at his shop as we speak. He tried to sell it once, then took it off the block. I guess he's going for it one more time. Going to pick up my car there tomorow.
