I have no idea what's going on under my hood.

Hey everyone, the name's Spencer and this is not only my first rotary, but it's also my first carbureted car. When I brought this thing home I knew about as much as my mom about when it comes to rotaries, but I'm definitely learning quick; this forum seems like an information goldmine.

The whip is a 1982 rx7 GX. 12a, discs, and an awesome LSD. It's got red leather, power windows, and removable top.

Here's a few pics of my other car. It's a 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS, Nissan sr20det swap. I'd go into detail but you guys probably have no idea what a piston is.

This was from last july. We did a road trip with our cars all the way out to Vancouver Island, stopped in Tofino for a few nights for some surfing, then down to Seattle for Formula Drift. From there we spent a week moseying around the inner BC mountains and back home.

I did the entire swap on the Corolla. Not only did I want a car that made enough power to take newer Camaro SS's for dog walks on the highway, but I wanted it reliable enough to turn-key daily drive.

Here's the truth, I'm not even into drifting or anything, but love ocean wildlife. I only went to Tofino to swim with the ocean animals, and once I heard about the Seattle Aquarium I just had to see it for myself! I didn't want to make the quest alone so I had to convince my friends it was a "Formula D roadtrip".
