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!
these days i'm doing some reinforced motor mounts for some friends plus preparing some examis, i don't really have time to source the parts etc

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

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.

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.
