Check out Race Car Replicas (RCR). They are just outside of Detroit and have lots of billet eye candy around. Fran, the owner, is real courteous about people coming over to visit the shop.

Yea Race Car replica is down the street from me. Talked to him about a joint venture to produce a 4 rotor kit car. Might happen in a couple of years if things go well.

Im still working on it almost every day, it could have been thrown together along time ago, but I'm making sure everything is done perfect. Finally have my silicone oring mold done and all the orings made. The sleves are in shipping on the way back from having coatings put on them, I'm down in Florida this week, were doing the Miami to Bimini in the Bahamas back to Miami boat race then up to Michigan next week for the poker run based out of flight club in Detroit, then back home to do final assembly of the engine. So hopefully I will have it on the dyno in July.

The poker run is for skater power boats, if you have a skater then you can come, otherwise I will be there for a few days if you want to meet up at some point.

i don't think it's gonna ever run. look at the intake pattern. one of the engine runs to the opposite of the 2 other ones. sucks because it's a great idea, who would also work.
