If Edgar told you that he was not telling the truth.
He was hiding the fact that he's actually a HONDA guy that wanted change.
So he had this dream about becomming a TOYOTA guy and not just any toyota but a 2JZ kinda guy. Somewhere in that transformation he saw the light. There was just too much rotary influence around him not to mention he's from the capital of rotors and I guess the bug finally bit and the fever set in!.

AWESOME vid...this is probably the greatest advancement in the rotary world. I'm definitely keeping tabs on this so i can get some for my TII. I'm glad to see you guys are in high gear and running R&D left and right because you got a TON of people who want these rotors
