I think its something I'm gonna have to think about, the imp transaxle is made from chocolate, and so will not handle the power. If i do it then itll be mid engined with an alfa transaxle. I could sell the turbo imp engine, as that would be the only way i could fund such a project. Awww i can hear it now, brap brap brap WAAAAMAMMMMM brap brap brap. Thwe problem is if i do it, then ill make up a frame with the rear suspension box and engine all on it and bolt it in ot the imp. THen if i do that then i will also have to change the front suspension, and if i have more power I'm gonna want a full roll cage. Its going to end up as a full spaceframe cheers J

ive heard bad things about hurley, don't think ill use em To be honest i think that if the housings are ok then i will probably sell them as they really arnt suited to a road car (2000rpm idle, and no cruising ability at all??) anayways i have no idea what condition they are in. looking at the car, when it was last used, and the rule changes imposed that year. It is entirly possible that the engine was taken out of service because peripheral ports were banned. Anyway enough speculation ill take it apart next week. J

Hi J, i would be very interested if you want to sell the parts of the engine. The main problem you will have in trying to make power with this type of engine is noise.If you kill the noise then the power is killed too. My 4 rotor(Only one in Europe) is louder even than the jet cars at the drag strip,people have to block their ears it is so piercing. Give me a call,01635 846598 or 07776 304174 Regards Carl

my RX7 is black yes.It has "Hayward Rotary" on the side(My rotary tuning shop) It is not turbo charged but naturally aspirated. there are some pics of it in Japanese performance mag and J tuner mag. I ran it at "Rotorstock 2" this year in May but have not been able to do any work on it since,Will be soon though. Regards Carl

Someone on another forum I post on posted a vid of your car at rotorstock, I think - is the livery in Gold?
Sounded great but seemed under-revving.

Yes I was keeping the revs low because the engine is not run in. I just took it real easy up the strip to show that it runs. It will be quicker once run in. Alot is invested in the car so I don't want to damage it straight out! Regards Carl
