rode in a 3 rotor
dropped my car off at gotham racing for a 5 speed swap. Steve took me for a ride in his 3 rotor. All I can say is WOW. I couldn't get the grin off my face for an hour. Now, I can't stop thinking about it. Anyone want to buy a kidney?

sounds completely different-sounds like an f1 car. similar, but not quite as peaky as a 787B. 1st and 2nd gears were useless wheel hop/spin. 3rd slams you back into the seat and the traffic and scenery rushes towards you. Suddenly you are out of road and thrown forward as the brakes do their thing. It was like an amusement park ride. I was embarrased to note at the end of the ride that I was holding onto the door handle like a little bitch.

ya, the motor has to come out again. 
One of my rotor has 30psi all across all three faces. The other two is around 65psi so I have to put factory seals in to avoid that problem. I didn't think that at 8psi would warp the seals since the car was tuned to 11:1 a/f at 8psi (which is way too rich for the boost level). If I had to guess the hp rating, I would have to say around 450-475rwhp since I have a healthy street port with the T88 (thumper) turbo.
I'll be calling RA for some replacement. (probably not gonna use it).
Full boost is around 4300rpm and slowly creeps to around 10psi at 7rkpm.

Sorry to hear that Steve. I remember just touching that beast in Knoxville! I still look at the pictures every once and a while just to think maybe one day I'll give one.
