f..k f..k

i'm starting to really hate my car i'm think of getting rid of my goon. k here we go again i got her going i was able to test drive the car like 3 or 4 times to tune the carb. after rejected carb with.
f11 tubes
42 venturis
210 mains
150 air
70 idle
300 needle
now the car wont start it feels like it wants to start, but no luck i already foul out 12 spark plugs. so i found a local shop 52 miles if thats local. lol. they did a couple of thing re check my carb. put the fuel regulator, fix my oil cooler lines and tuff. like that. they check for good spark, electrical, timing and all that good ****. they had no luck. and when it did start the back rotor was not hitting they check the compression front rotor was 90 and back rotor was 60 what the **** this is a rebuild motor #4 to be exact. the guy said that it might need a rebuild. maybe something when wrong inside the motor .i'm like **** 4 motors already and i have not even got to drive the car for more then 10 minutes. **** talking about bad ******* luck with rotary's. **** **** ****. i could both a brand new car. i'm already in with like 11gs with the purchase of the car and all the work i did to it. is like deja vu again when i had my 1st rotary witch was a turbo 2. **** **** never ran.

Angry more of the tear down

ok guys more of the tear down.





it turns out that the motor has the 2 rotor housing bad . i got them polish when they socal rebuild my motor what a waste of 160 bucks, the rotors did not had no coner seal plugs. and on the rotor 2 bearing were about to spin. so pretty much my motor is junk. check the crapy porting job

Not yet. I think I want to pull the motor and keep it for rebuilding in case the my turbo motor dies. And pull the tranny to try and sell.
I will leave the fuel cell and fuel lines in it though.
Are you interested? Or know someone who is?
