Don't know yet, i'm still trying to find the "donor" kit
Then some months for Jeff to build the upgrade and Charles to upgrade the kit in general (bov, hoses, couplers etc) and finally the install. Hope to make it by this January!
I will make an extensive build thread when the time is due!

ok im going on sunday 13 to the RING and friday 11 , saturday 12 a will be in GERMAN RACE WARS partying

 

I'll go up the 13th if I can have my car back together.

 

what are you doing to your car

 

Gutted my interior and trunk for Roll cage measurement, battery relocation kit, fixing ignition, brakes, sways, and routine maintenance.

 

what kind of ignition problems?

 

wow sound like a lot of work , are you doing it yourself, hpefully you can show up ,do you know a good rotary tunner that do installation of turbo and tunning

 

hey guys, I need a little piece of advice regarding my next season track tires
I'd like to stay with street tires for now, narowed my choices to:
Falken FK-452
Hankook Ventus V12
Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31
any opinions about those vs track?

 

I was having a weird idle again so I was changing spark plugs and repositioning the BHR kit better. But I broke one of the connectors on the spark plug wires so now I have to order another wire.

It is alot of work but I enjoy doing it, I do my own work. I used to build hondas in the states so I've only been messing with Rotary motors since I bought my car here in 2006.

I don't know anyone here that is good with rotarys just mainly Skyline and Evo guys here around Stuttgart.

 

You can easily contact Charles but i'm sure you know it
I consider him, as well as the rest of the crew, as my "teachers". It is thanks to them if i know something about rotaries

 

I'm going to relocate the coils to a different position so I have to give him my measurements for the lengths of the wires.

There threads on here are about the only ones I listen too and trust. I've learned alot about rotaries, hell I went from making 10 second hondas too loving the sound and feel of high revving rotary more than hondas.

 

Well that's a big "welcome to europe" then
We don't really love straight-line cars considering the tracks we have! I believe that Charles drag raced too though.

 

Yeah I know what you mean there was one road course and 3 drag strips in a 2 hour drive from where I lived in the states.

The Nurburgring was one of the reasons I took this job over here when I finished school. I always wanted to drive on that track and many others in Europe.

 

Oh so you are selling your OZ for 500 EUR? if they only was 9" wide then I would purchase them in a heartbeat.

Im out looking for 17"x9" or 18"x9", my rims are only 8" and thats not optimal for my 235 wide R888 tyres.

 

I run 245's on the 8" rim its optimal enough

 

well it works but its not optimal (speaking of R888 now) toyo says that 235 requires 9,2" wide rims and I agree.

Your tires at the picture also seems a little bit to wide for that rim.

 

Ok maybe for the R888, but for my tires set up it looks better than the 225 falken, I going with 275's next

 

well 235 wide wheels will mount on a 8" without problems. 9 would be better
What's your job stuttgart?

 

I'm an Engineer
