Blah blah blah listen to my noisy exhaust blah blah blah.

I want to see it go fast. That is the ONLY thing that matters. Even a 20 year old Civic can sound badass with a custom-made exhaust.

I'm sure he has no idea what he is talking about in this particular case. Even the worst excuse of a 26B build would make the best 13B Renesis engine look like a tinker toy.

Actually he has a point. Is it drivable? Does it perform? And can it go more than 1k miles before you have to tear it down and rebuild it? What are the REAL results of this?

I LOVE the sound of a 4 rotor. But whats the point if it is only driven on and off the trailer?

My comment more more targeted at this.

No a 4banger will NEVER sound badass with a custom exhaust

You can't compare the sounds of a rotary with a POS Honda 4cyl, not to mention a 4rotor

I have heard Mad Mikes 4rotor FD Drift car up close and it was the most beautiful thing i've ever heard

And your tryna say a 20yr old honda engine can sound this good?

Please go

Short video! Probably ran the fuel tank dry. 14 miles to the gallon with two rotors imagine 4. I would have to refuel twice on the way to work. I want one!!

it's neither the first nor the least 26B to come out of the area. If you had any idea what it costs just to build one, let alone install it and get it running you might know that the rest is minor in comparison

This thing runs and moves, although it's still very much a work in progress it has immense potential. When I saw it at Rotorstock, it was running 51mm IDA carbs and there were a number of solutions pending in the build.

Interestingly, the rear carb drew air from where the glovebox was. This was due to the front of the engine being in the same place as the 13B.
