It depends on the engine, but if it's a later model fuel injected FC 13B like it appears to e, I want that block, and yes it's currently being wasted.

it does appear to be fuel injected but at least its getting used.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

It's still a good deal at $1500 OBO.

Arn't the engines alone worth that much?

indeed, and it IS fuel injected, but it can also be the GSL-SE engine, the one to want is the S5 FC one, 165hp, the GSL-SE is only 135, and the S4 13B is 148, which works for me too. It's not a 13B-T, 13B-RE, 13B-REW, 20B-REW, or RENESIS so that's good, those engines are insane and shouldn't go into anything with a center of gravity that high. In all honesty, I'm not only happy it's getting used, I appreciate when a non rx-7 owner recognizes the potential of the rotary enough to do a swap, it's all to often you see 7s get V8s, when things go the other way around it's a bit refreshing.

meh, stock used, not a fresh rebuild goes for 700-ish more or less

Rotary FTMFW i'd totally swap one into my Miata if the rules in my class allowed it lol

[David88vert]

The guy who did the swap is probably Puerto Rican. They'll drop a rotary into anything with a quickness.

Was it red with pro stars? I saw one of those at SDR standing up in the first 3 gears. The guy said the clutch was slipping... LOL. I think he said it was a 1.2 or 1.3 liter.

[Big Baller]

I would say its a waste of a tracker.

[EJ25RUN]

norton bikes are sick

The Norton RCW588s were some of the greatest ever racebikes. Back when the TT F1 was what BSBK is today, the John Players Special and Duckhams oil bikes were what Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha still knew was a huge threat. Sad, but the public saw that the Japanese bikes were just faster and more reliable for the money.

Anyways, best memories.
