WOW!! You're installing TWO stereo systems!? LOL.

The Koensegg doors would be really interesting to see as well. What are you going to control the 4 rotor with? NA, I assume?

With an AWD suspension, are you also planning to convert to an AWD driveline as well? If so, what will be your donor for the front? If not, why an AWD suspension?

Sorry for all the questions, it just seems like an all out car.

The Koenigsegg doors have been done before and this german guy Brunnen who is my sponsor is one of several persons who have done the same setup... I am just simply a 43 year old guy who loves his RX7 and met this guy who does some things with Rotaries that simply amazed me. I am not too mechanically inclined as in I am not able to take my own engine apart. So what have I done in the last two years since I have had my convertible ?

I have been educating myself with Rotary concept... I have now recently formed an RX7 Club here in Miami of which I have held two successful meets. In this process i have met some industry professionals such as Carlos Lopez who really knows his craft and others like Beale who does wonders with paint on a car. So I have met others that are really good at what they do with Rotary engines and cosmetic work. One of them is now my sponsor and this german guy manufactures the Lambo Door kits that i have put on my convertible and that I have installed on other 2nd Gens.

This german guy in essence wants some exposure to a degree and has opted to provide all these upgrades for my convertible since its the only 2nd gen that i own.. Believe when i tell you that i would not have the funds to take some of these projects on so I feel very fortunate that I am the chosen one. My sponsor manufactures all these neat things... like the AWD suspension that uses two LSD Diffs and semi shafts, a custom built and manufactured crossmember, and also Transfer case... the rack does have to be relocated the center... so if this sounds kind of logical to you who has more experience with RX7's then its not just gospel what I say.

This guy Brunnen makes 3 & 4 Rotor motors... without having to extend the nose ... supercharged or turbocharged of course.. the motors use three (3) spark plugs per rotor. and that is what mine will have... uses an SDS injection system that is used on Aircrafts.

So the AWD suspension works... when it gets on my car and its shown then all of you unbelievers will be swallowing your pride because you wont want to admit that it could have been possible... Did you know that no one makes a Lambo Door Kit for a 2nd Gen RX7 ? Well how do you like this that finally there is a german guy that does... and the proof is in the pudding... i have it on my ride.. my convertible.. all you have to do is come to one of my Miami RX7 Club Meets.. the next one is the NOPI nationals at MOROSO motorsports park on June 5th or just ask some of the people on this thread. Ask MazdaGirl81, DVls-7, or Outkast.. they know what i have on my vert.. they have seen the other kits like the AWD in my plans... so I will have these items in my car because they actually exist. I will be getting carbon fiber fenders as well... or dont you believe that those could be possible as well ?

Here is another kit that will be going on my vert... it is a Hood Kit... the hood lifts up vertically and then glides back and rests right above the windshield so the engine bay is exposed.

1. AWD suspension...

It's not a matter of "can this be done?",
but rather "why would someone do this???"...

2. 4-rotors with 3 plugs each...

The hood kit sounds pretty nice though if it works...
It would mean the ability to pull your engine without having to realign the hood...

I dont understand some of you guys on here... instead of being positive and supportive you have to resort to ridiculing someone who actually has a vested interest in innovation. If a modification can be done to enhance a vehicle, then why not do it ? Brunnen is a master mechanic and has the knowledge and experience in working with Rotaries. If he has figured out a way to have the performance one would be seeking no matter if it was 2 or 4 spark plugs I believe that it would raise an eyebrow. Perhaps no one has ever done it before , until now... and I am looking forward to taking that step in doing something that probably has never been done before. Why not ?

YES... AWD ALL WHEEL DRIVE SUSPENSION

YES... 4 ROTORS W/ 3 PLUGS EACH

I have been running motorcycle NGK spark plugs of which at first i thought to be a crazy thing to do .. but let me tell you what a difference over the irridium plugs... try it... you may like it... but dont knock down someones idea because it may sound ridiculous to you or not jibe with you...

We currently have a 2nd Gen Vert with a 3rd Gen Single Mongo Turbo motor in it... and it flies... with the wheels on the ground of course... i had to clarify that before i would be expected to recieve another remark with a BS Meter as you were so easily to send.

Dont mudsling man.... just enjoy the ride.. you may just learn something..

You have already tried the correct Irridium plugs?
The iridiums are much better than regular "motorcycle" B9 or B10 EGV's.

-----------------

For the Haters:

The 26B was a Four Rotor with 3 spark plugs ber rotor as well.

No Man... its not about that... its about having a Trick item on your car... as in a car show you can really show off your engine bay..

Why are you so Negative ? and so pessimistic ? All this stuff i mentioned has been proven and it works.. you might want to get on the list to buy one of these from me.. and the price is going to be contingent on what your attitude towards me is like.. and right now it seems as though you got money to blow so money is no object. Since it seems that you want to pay more than the other guys... Phew!!! I would just relax... chill with all this Negativity...

BTW... How young are you ?

hmm, well alot of the 4 rotor engines do have 3 plugs per housing. Where you would find these housings for sale is what id be asking. From what i know they really didnt produce that many at all.

For all your work and effort... But if you would have taken a moment to notice, some of us don't own 2nd gens so all your babbling about jumping on the bandwagon, buying from you and swallowing our pride will do us no good. Besides, what kind of car are you trying to build? A street car, a show car, a performance car, a sound competition car (2 stereo systems), an off-road rally car or a conglomerate of all the above... BKA
