They also make some radial engines too.
That OS wankel has been around a LONG time. 20 years minimum. I always liked them, but they were kind of expensive. I have a few planes, helis, cars, etc. Haven't messed with them in a long time, though. Got to get back into it. It is pretty fun.

Josh. You so need to go get this https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-rx-7-1979-1985-vehicles-109/1979-rx7-widebody-sale-durham-nc-870987/
and my withdrawal symptoms are driving fast in my saturn while making rotary noises with wastegate and blow off valve sounds......and don't ask what I do on a rainy day w/o my traction control.
Hey if any of you guys are interested, UNCC is having a dyno day this Saturday in Charlotte, figured maybe we'd make an appearance, most of the guys here are pretty cool and not the typical ricey crowd generated from Fast and the Furious. Here's the link http://www.uncchpa.org/events/dyno_d...Dyno%20Day.htm
If I get my car together by then I may try a run on low boost, granted I don't boost creep, lol. Sam you should do some pulls on 15psi!!! And then maybe later on down the road throw that FMIC and do another one, that would be interesting to see the difference?

been very busy lately, bought an engine from josh with only 62K miles, spun it by hand sounded great, swapped engines, even added a bit of oil in the chambers and spun by hand a few times just for added extra measure, took a while for it to fire and when it did it felt very sluggish, let it warm up it was holding idle but sounded weird, revved it once up to about 3500 and heard *poof* and couldn't get it to start again, took the plugs off spun the engine and couldn't only hear 1 swoosh on rear rotor 
.
with all the rain, and work i just now had time to get my original engine back in, got it started then one of my heater hoses busted but went ahead and replaced it and others as well so i should be able to make the meet lol...its been a rough few weeks, btw Josh i'll take your tools over tomorrow right after work, sorry i took so long with them budd.

Sam is in the ICU at Charlotte's Carolian Med. Me and him was working on a home made 4 wheeler and he fliped it on the road and he landed on his head and did not come too. And so I was scared shi#liss Called the po po and went from there. He has a Skull Fracture and some swelling of the brain. I called Bev just now and he is doing better and is concious now and recogonizing people. So lets keep him in our prayers.

all jokes aside that sounds bad, glad he is doing ok now though. our prayers are with him
Crap! And all that crazy stuff he does with these rx7's who would have thought a 4 wheeler would do the most damage! Good to hear he's coming to though, that must have been a scary moment, glad you were there Josh
