Would you trade for an 87 Honda xr200 dirt bike? I know rotaries well. I have rebuilt them before. If not I will try to sale the dirt bike quickly. I WANT THIS CAR ;) This should go to a big time rotary nut. Check my heart for valves and you will find none(rotary joke) http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i230/KnoxSe7eN/rotaryheartsm1.gif

so far got a dude offering me a lil less than i asked for so when he calls me if he comes and picks it up then he gets it, i would trade for a fair running older car

Just to let some people know when an apex seal goes it can cause damage to the engine. That being said it would not keep me from getting the car. Rotary engines are so easy to build. Parts for the 12a can be found pretty easily and for cheap.

Anybody else notice that the upper radiator hose is busted open in the pic?

So it overheated on the dyno and you kept running it and blew an apex seal?

thats isn't a recent picture of the motor, i put new hoses on it when i got it, but i didn't get the chance to resize the pics last night if you want to see pictures of it right now go to www.xdrive.com then log in with an aol/aim username then use "n0pinitr0us" for the username and "turbo4door" for the password and you can see all 32 pics.
