Is Super Street the one that said the 13b was actually a 2.6 Liter engine? I remember an article like this but don't remember the magazine.

There were a few things in the Super Street that I had to laugh at. " Apex seals are thin plyable strips that are at each corner of the rotor to seal it." Thin plyable strips huh? The majority of the stuff they talked about was alright though. If anything, at least those magazines are good for pictures, but the problem is when uninformed people believe everything they read...

That was Dave Coleman from Sport Compact Car. His is one of the only editorials I'll ever read. The guy knows his stuff and if you read the article you'll understand the logic of it. But, as was said before different thread.
