Getting closer.

All the coolant piping is done. Fuel lines and pump are in. Just a little bit more work and I'll know if my cheap chinese lathe and my 0 experience machining abilities rendered a usable adaptor. :lol:

As of now I'm just rebuilding the peripheral port. We'll know in the next week or so if my amateur machining on a Chinese lathe actually worked. LOL

I don't know if this thing is gonna work or shake itself to death. Its been a fun journey regardless.

I've been thinking of a W8 as a backup engine in case the rotary abomination doesn't pan out.

Well, I towed it all the way up to the mountains a couple of weeks ago. Went up there for a rotary event; just a bunch of other rotary nut jobs like me.




While I was up there I got some more body panels from my "dealer" RX7parts.com. So I was able to fill in the rear wheel arches a little bit.








Man this thing is MEAN looking from the stern. Its cause the FD is supposed to have more car behind the rear tires, but I LIKE the way this looks. Too bad for anybody following me... I might kick some rocks up. lol







I also have discovered the rumors are true!!!! 8.5" turbo twist wheels fit on the front axle. And the wheel fitment couldn't be better.
