those dont look like the stock rims, also does it have an extra pin stripe on it or are those the side guard things. it does look really nice though. I hope that how mine will turn out. He is definately gonna get what he deserves for the car though.. OH and has anybody else noticed that alot of rotary stuff comes out of Kissammee Flordia? I sold my 72 808 to a guy there, but it jsut seems like that city puts out alot of rotary involved things. Lates matt22

All those old school rotarys are in Florida because there are soo many Puerto Ricans out there especially in Kissimmee and they love their rotarys. You guys wouldn't believe the cars that come out to the track on an import weekend. Out here on the westcoast you see hondas and the such out there you'll see nothing but datsun 1200, rx2, rx3, r100, GLC, starlets and old school toyota's and the occasional dodge colt's with a rotary or 1.8 3TC. I miss Lakeland dragstrip. The Boricua's in Florida know what I'm talking about.

I don't think those are stock rims.. they look just like the 13" mags I've been trying to sell for awhile. Mike

Yea it use to be the same out here in NYC in the late 80's, early 90's. Now there is still a bunch but you don't see them parked out in the street like before. I got lucky a picked up a 71 Corolla with a JDM 4AG motor so I'm still keeping it alive here in NYC. Maybe I'll go 13-B with this one too.

Here is one in Cali. When I first saw it I thought it was an RX-2 until it got closer. I don't know what's under the hood but there is another old school colt around here that has a rotary but I can't seem to find the pic.

My buddy has a 73 Colt and he is putting an Eclipse turbo engine in it. We've never seen pictures of this swap before and were wondering if anyone else has done it. I would think they have, since the engine bolted right into the car.

Surprisingly, there seems to be quite a bit of room in the engine compartment. As I remember, the colt that did have the rotary in it, made it look really smallish.
