Rotary Spitfire update
 

The Abomination has been to several venues since swallowing/puking an apex seal, with much better results. The car handles much better than I ever thought it would, given its scrapyard/backyard origins. Two FTD's so far, more to come (I hope!).

A few pics:

thats one good looking spitfire you got there!!

Slightly newer picture. See the haze near the left rear tire? Needs a smidge more fender clearance. :doh:

That thing looks like fun!

There was a 12A Spitfire for sale on ebay about a month ago... too bad I missed it! They look like fun....

Does it qualify as a K-car?

noice

That thing looks scary fast. That is awesome. Nothing like the feel of driving a car with no top.

It is very quick. The biggest problem so far is lack of traction when the engine gets into the fat part of the power; it just starts spinning the rear tires, even with DOT stickies and limited slip. Get on it, listen for the wheelspin, back off the gas a bit. Then the tires bite and the cones lean toward you.

noice.

time for flares and slicks

The cones lean toward you? Hahahaha! Sounds scary :P Good to hear that your project is going so well. Hopefully mine will work out as well.

Are you using the Mazda diff? If so, and if it uses a clutch type, you can buy LSD innards for it from Mazda Competition Parts at a reasonable price. They only allow people to buy their parts of they are driving a Masda though. I'm not sure if they are cool with a Rotary powered Spit.
