Super close! I can't wait to see everyone there!

 

Love it!!!! Cant wait to check it out.... its been along time coming.
Congrats bro


Steve

 

Cant wait to see and hear this thing Reddozen!

 

New Michelins on the SE after blowing a tire coming back last year. RedLine power steering fluid on the way.

 

I don't know how many of the DGRR attendees for 2026 are aware of David Mazzei, but I watched his latest YouTube video and he said he was coming to
DGRR in 2026. It will be awesome to see this fabulous car he has custom built with a 5 rotor engine in person. He used to own a very nice FD 4 rotor that he sold
to create this new monster. My car won't be ready but I may make the trip just to see it.

 

Just watch his video where he is putting the bigger turbo on. Fantastic build even if its not a 7.

 

I watched the same video as well. Last year, I drove to Birmingham to Chase Bays shop and bought a Charge Speed front bumper for my FD.
While I was in Birmingham, which is where Mazzei lives, I drove to the south side of town and met the guy who did all of his fab/welding on all under hood piping
and made the custom intercooler. The guy is an amazing fabricator and Birmingham has a very alive import car scene.

 

I'd like to ask him some questions about the transmissions people are using to put rotarys in the middle of cars.

By all my research you either need a manufacturing department to make a bell housing or a G90 trans***.... Both of those options are in the $50k and up category.

I went with the third option of "turn the redneck up to 11" and I use a G12 or G16 transmission.


*** I know you can use the 901 trans but they are getting expensive/rare, and they can only handle 200 pounds or so.

 

You ought to drive over the day of the car show which is usually Saturday and meet, look and talk with folks.
I drove up in 2024 for 3 days to just look at the cars, meet folks from this forum. I also met Howard Coleman there
to pick up my engine that he built for me. You would have a blast and perhaps some fresh motivation which is
always a good thing. I may go myself just for that purpose and to meet David Mazzei, see his car in person.
I thought my car would be ready but not quite, it's getting close tho.

 

I remember you David!

 

I really enjoyed meeting and speaking with you at the car show.I didn't remember your name but me and my wife absolutely loved your car.
So much that if I hadn't been so deep on my twin to single conversion, I would have bought a red 73 rx that Cam Petite had for sale. If I make it this year,
you will be one of the first people I look for.
