The three rotor is David Hayes' car. How did he do on the dyno? Also, you have an interesting sig pic, care to explain it ?

In some of the footage I took you can definitely see the lights dim at what I would imagine to be 7krpm. It's sad that David didn't get to take his car back home with him -- it wasn't a reunion after all .

Hopefully he'll have it together for Deal's Gap. You guys better get some good footage -- I'll be in the garage hopefully (fingers crossed) putting the motor in.

I'll post my in-car ride with David's 20b as soon as I can. Don't laugh at the giddy school girl comments.

Here is Steve's first pull in the 20b. He street tuned it and this is on ~10psi:

Okay so I finally put a little something together. I left it uncut because I really didn't take enough to do much with. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it and I hope it conveys a little bit of what it was like to ride in a 20b FD. I really focused on the engine speed and the sounds of the car, but my equipment isn't the greatest

There is a lot of commentary from David about the car and a few stupid questions from me...anyways, enjoy!

You will need Quicktime 7 to view because I used H.264. It's 83.5MB, so I recommend downloading, not streaming. David's 20b [uncut] (right-click, save-as)

i love how you used the word "Only" for 480 whp~!!! 3 rotor makes it look easy I guess... that's probably faster than anything else on the road~ such a nice car~ wish I can afford a 3 rotor~
