I'll tell you why...

You ever wonder how two fat people have sex...I mean...how its physically possible...

It's like that...

Once you figure out how it HAS to work...if your not turned off by the idea...you've got some serious desperation issues...

Would you like to enlighten me? I mean, thats why I started the first thread to begin with. If I'm going to run into any unforeseen issues, that could have been addressed before the build, I will be very upset that someone withheld the information.

So please, if you know something I don't, let me know.

Sure...

Fatty Problem 1...drive train layout...
Fatty Problem 2...electronics...
Fatty Problem 3...chassis...

But...if you are serious...your best bet is to take it to the puerto ricans...those dudes are badass when it comes to fabrication...and ESPECIALLY when it comes to grafting rotaries to things...

Let me know where you would like to start...

yeah, the puerto ricans are crazy. they'll drop a rotary into anything. lol.

maybe pm angeljoelv with questions.

also, you might want to research the space the current drivetrain takes up, and then research or contact mazmart with the sizes of the renesis+tranny.

Sort out the drivetrain issues first...

Then if you still have a hard-on for it...let me know...and I'll do my best to crush your spirit with technical no-no's...

Heh

Derailment #2, can't help it.

Best Sinfest strip ever. I love that comic.

Good luck with your project! When I can afford it, I'm going to put a Yaris engine in my RX-8. It won't be a sleeper, it'll be a snoozer...
