Rotary engines, they've got no torque, they're rubbish.

2nd gear, wheels spinning (polished tarmac), with some tarmac tyres and a higher grip surface, it would have been a proper full blown wheelie :lol:

No torque my arse! :)

engine pics!

I can do a wheelie on a moped, that has no torque either!:lol2:

Haha, nice!!

I so thought this was going to be an insta-locked argument ridden insult throwing failthread :)

Haha, gotcha.

It sets off in 3rd with even bogging down, in fact, there's very little difference in the actual 60ft launch times from 1st-3rd gear :lol:

Try sitting two blokes on the front mudguard and try again :p:

You might be the most British poster I've ever read. hahaha. Everything from "rubbish" to "tyres" to "arse" it's fantastic and like out of a cartoon. I love it.

Sick shit man!

"tyres"

Hoy, we invented the language, it's not our fault you buggers can't use it properly!
:lol:


Could be worse, at least a Yorkshire accent doesn't translate in text, or it'd be:

"The' bluddy rowtris, they ant got no tork, they're sheite!"

Wee bit of suspension work needed....:lol:



/patiently waiting for the 16X so we can build a 3-rotor....

404 Error: Torque not found.

Get him lads! :lol2:

more info!

Please type like that anyway, just for our entertainment. :) Nice car though, although engine pics are required.

Is that an Ariel Atom in the background?

Oh, you like some rotary torque eh?

haha. glad my car doesn't do that... exiting corners under the throttle would be tricky!

Yes, he broke it though, by falling off the edge of the track and hitting a slight pothole, the supension design lets the rockers that activate the dampers go over centre on a big bump = jammed suspension, chassis on the floor and bent metal.

Pretty dumb really, £2.50-worth of bumpstop would stop it doing it.

Haha, we've got individual fiddle brakes to each wheel - I can turn it faster when it's doing that trick than when the front wheels are on the floor :lol2:

Actually, the Romans invented it (Latin root) , but you speak it far better than do we here in the colonies. ;)

Well, given it's a polyglot from German, French, a few others, that was blended with Latin, I guess technically, pretty much everybody in Europe invented it...:lol2:

Turbos are cheating
:nono:

Latin root with significant Anglo-Saxon and [French] Normandic influence. It's a poly-glutenous mess, which is I guess why it's so hard for others to speak/write/comprehend. ;)

On the plus side it's pretty easy to pick up German given that strong influence and contextual similarity.

Tire, tyre, it's all rubber. :)

They're round, black and smoke when sideways. Sorted.
