V8 swap at its finest. Sorry if this makes you puke/cry lol this thing is on kijiji BC right now, someone should do us all a favor and buy and part it. Surely someone with a fire chicken could use the engine

It's RHD so I'm cool with that V8 monster and it definitely goes in the face of JDM LOL
However as mentioned it is hard to erase from ones mind or unsee. I just keep staring at the roof line and avoid the hood and I'm all better

Don't really care. I used to get butthurt when the V8 guys would blast the rotary, but I chalk it up to ignorance on both parts and move on now.
I accept my car will never outperform performance vehicles 1/5 of a century newer. I get a kick out of maintaining it, modding it for better reliability/performance, and flogging it on the track. It's a perfect fit for me (except for head room w/helmet... damn sunroof) because it requires so much thought and attention. Playing with these cars taught me almost as much about engineering as my BS did.
Part of the draw for me was also the forum. The feeling that rotary enthusiasts are pioneers in a way, playing at the edges of what is known and often making new innovations along the way. It's nice to be a part of that.
