I was walking in Neutral bay(Sydney, NSW) on Saturday night and heard the distinct sound of a ported rotary coming my way. I was surprised to see when I turned that it was a black RX8 with numberplate KNG-13B. I am sure it was ported or had had its Renesis replaced with an earlier rotary engine somehow.
Is anyone on here the owner of this awesome sounding RX8 or if not somebody else must know of it to enlighten me as to how your car came to sound like it did??

 

Probably just a blown motor.

 

who pissed in your cornflakes ?

 

He's on www.ausrotary.com (was?) forums, name: TUF-26B. Might have sold it to someone else though...

 

I have read Rick Shaw has done bridge port on a number of RX8's.

skc

 

Simon from Promaz has bridge ported a couple as well.

 

Sighting solved-Not only was it ported it is an RX7 engine conversion with big power-

Proving that you know your rotor sounds Matt!

I think I'll PM the owner and encourage him to bring it to the Nationals this year...
