Rotary fwd?
 
I'm 31 going on 32 and for the last 12 years I've wondered about rotarys..but it's kinda off the subject I know but what transmission could I use or adaptor plate do I need to make it usable in a fwd vehicle. .I'm taking a rotary workshop class in a week with a chance to win another Renesis engine to have at my disposable..maybe toss it in a 1988 Honda crx hf..I know the rotary guys would hate me for it but I'm a Honda guy at heart but I'm willing to multicomply with new vehicles..Please don't hate me just wondering. .I was willing to make a fwd civic and so please don't hate me.

There is no adapter plate. You would need to make everything custom.

I saw one for sale on Chicago Craigslist last year. It was in a Civic. It was a custom adapter to work with an RSX transmission.

A rotary engine adapted up to a RSX transmission, Then the both adapted to a Civic chassis. That sounds like a nightmare. More headache than its worth in my opinion.

My guess is he gave up on the project half way through. Thats why he sold the custom adapter he made.
