Any excuse to fill the forum with some j-car filth.   Datsun 510's and B110's seem to be popular for wankel conversions too.    token non j-car effort.  A couple of UK spec Citroen GS Birotor's survive..... |

Yea, the NSU R080. Got the engine problems sorted, just as the company went bust! D'oh!
Fantastic bits of kit mind, would love one.
Weren't some of the FD engines good for 1000BHP+?

Wankels are great ! Compact and powerful ! It's a shame they're generally fragile and not exactly fuel efficient... By the way, I don't really think that this picture is of a wankel... Looks more like an Impreza boxer to me : |

there not that fragile, as long as they are maintained The 20b is limited to around 1200bhp, this is grenade point. But 600bhp per litre? not many engines can boast that kind of ability
The quad rotor r26b from the mazda 787b LeMans was running detuned to 600 odd brake for reliability, when de restricted it would make 800bhp naturally aspirated! for a 2.6!
i say strong and simple, its a turbine withh torque.

Dunno if this is "retro" but I like it. It's a series 4 RX-7 with a 20b (triple -rotor) turbo out of the JC Cosmo. It's built for "drift" but here's it's at a motorkhana. Since then it's been painted all one colour.  1973 RX-3 Coupe.  Some arty shots of a mate's RX-4 sedan.   T'was my RX-7. Mostly stock. Well sunk on stock springs.  |

1974 Saab 99 EMSI bought a new car. It's 35 years old. My friends said I was mad. We'll see.

In NZ/Oz the wheels are known as "modgies" ...short for Modular.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |
