Cool Things
This is probably old news but Chris at Mazdatrix pointed me to this project a friend of his built.

Mods feel free to move to a different section if you wish. I put it in second gen because of the six port N/A motor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_RE5
The Suzuki RE5 was a rotary-engine motorcycle manufactured by the Suzuki Motor Company from 1974 to 1976.
The RE5 was touted as the future of motorcycling. The high-revving rotary engine, producing impressive power figures from a very small displacement, seemed destined for motorcycle applications. In reality, however, there was little demand for the technology. The rotary engine produced a lot of heat, requiring a large and cumbersome radiator for liquid cooling. The exhaust pipes often burned riders' legs, forcing the factory to produce an innovative exhaust system, one that incorporated an air-cooling system for the exhaust gases.
Cant wait to see how this one turns out.
