Here is a pic of the clock I bought on eBay made from actual RX-7 combustion chamber and rotor. it's approx 12" high and 12" wide at widest point (base). Weighs about 30# (the rotor is steel and very heavy. The combustion chamber is aluminum.)

Sorry the image is fuzzy, the flash didn't fire.

I want one :(

Yep. Got it at Atkins Rotary - made from reject refurb parts.

They sell the rotor only as a clock (see link: http://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/customer/home.php?cat=572 )

I think they have fewer reject combustion chambers. But, I'd bet if you call Kathy at Atkins, she's probably hunt one down for you.

Good luck.

PS: dmp: like the red rotor. I looked at all the rotor colors avaialbe at the time and silver was the best for me (unfortunately, they don't have the rorots in Nordic Green).

I dont know what rotarty is. :P

Paint it! :)

:D

I'd had this rotor and housing for years rusting in my garage; my friend's brother's RX7 bit the dust so we tore down the dead 13B motor and each kept a housing and rotor from it. He got his chromed and put it on his mantel, which I thought was really cool, but I didn't get around to having mine done.

My boyfriend managed to sneak it out of my garage without my knowing and had it powder-coated for me for Christmas. I love it! It sits in my entertainment center now.

for what it's worth - anyone going to be around the seattle area lemme know and I can swing buy and pick up the clock for you; I'd deliver and save you $30 in shipping :)

i was wanting to buy one of these, but i'm not really a fan of the actual clock face. Does anyone know if the clock is easily taken out? i'm assuming it is, but i dont really know.

Indeed - the clock just slips out. If you like, I can get you a measurement so you can find a clock of your choosing.

sure, if you dont mind. thanks dmp

nice! i want one
