what is that coolant tool called?!?! I love using that thing but I have not been able to find out whats it called or where to get it! it makes bleeding and filling the coolant soooo much easier.

oh and 4 rotor FTW

you wouldn't believe how many auto parts stores I tried to describe what it was so that I could buy it but they just looked at me like it never existed...

Are you going to shield the inlet runners from the heat of the header? Looks like they are pretty damn close.

It's alive

Started on the first crank 2 sec cranking and it started up, and was ideling at 1500 revs . Had a bit of an oil leak that needed fixing. So we did not get to dyno it today. But first thing in the morning it will be on. And the trumpets for the intake did not show up from jenvey anyway so we could not have done any thing special either.

But here is a video for you guys

Thanks guys

It could not have been done without the expert knowledge of Pip at WGT Autodevelopments in middlewich, England.

He's quite skilled at what he do

I will try to get a film of the last power run tomorrow with my phone. Will get a quality film up during the weekend. We forgot the cable to the video camera

Congrat's JanTore to a nice start up video The engine sounded more dep toned than Mazda Le Mans 4 rotor, but think the exhaust systems are not alike

How much do the flywheel weigh Good luck to you on the rollers
