jeremy lowes dad is like some wizard with 20+ years of rotary experience. if i had someone like that on my team i would totally run a rotary too. but i'm a garage monkey who'd rather drift than try to fix rotaries all the time because i don't know how.

Jealous! Congrats, welcome to a massive wall of torque and a powerband as wide as Kim Kardashian's ***. The only lag will be how long it takes to step on the gas!

That is very true about jeremy's dad he definitely knows the in and outs of rotaries. Im lucky enough to live close here in florida so he does all my tuning. Have had no issues what so ever with my car since he has tuned it. I support buckeys decision to go v8. Just never liked how he would talk **** and bash other people for doing exactly what he is doing right now. Its your own car and you will do things how you want.

Lol words can not explain how utterly disgusted i am at pushing my car around, having it **** itself off randomly, and the whole idle on 1 rotor or break up from too much fuel thing....

I love them, and all but i love drifting more. I miss seeing smoke at my door and bumping bn into friends cars and thinking how awesome it is with everyone lol

Rotary in drift car sitting in shop not running = bunch of saggy dicks

Shoulda done a KA swap man









On the realz, I'm glad you're getting out of the rotary game. They're cool and traditional and everything, but SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO inefficient, especially for drifting.

On the other hand, I'm not a fan of LS motors, which is why I'm going JZ this winter haha. Maybe I'll see you at an event sometime and we can get some tandem in!

I have yet to see a car he has ever tuned, and quite frankly i prefer going to reputaple people with a background in racing. I dont own a street queen that gets shifted at 5600rpm at half throttle once every year at best.

WHO CARES






I don't like v8's, but he can drift now. Sell the REW, buy dishy wheels.

Just don't run straight pipes, put like four or five mufflers in there so it doesn't sound like a nascar
