bluebaja · 2005-08-15T10:40:28+00:00

hi all I thought some of you might be interested in my latest project. A 12a rotary powered baja bug. Currently: adjustable front beam combi rear end grafted on (so combi box/suspension etc) volks conversion adapter kit racing seats 50mm lift kit (which also lifts the gearbox and motor) roll cage for five point harnesses steering brakes cheetah kit I am considering a bridgeport but i am a little hesitate as offroad drivability may be lost not to mention getting it quite considering exhaust fit issues. Probably end up with an extend port. Wont be able to go huge on the rear wheels to keep gearing suitable for rotary but hey thats the comprimise of a rotary! Also still looking for a suitable donor body to put on the pan. whatdayarekon!

In my case due to fuel injection i could either use all of the mazda electronics including the full dash or up grade to an after market unit.. i chose to go with a fully stand alone engine managment system ,, i chose the microtech ltx-s12 and the microtech aftermarket wiring harness and the microtech dash unit to keep an eye on the eninge;s performance and do a lil tuning while cruising if needed..

this system is fantastic beyond words hasnt let me done and works flawlessly would reccomend to anyone,, although not the cheapest way to go

Love is a Rotary baja bug
Just be carefull 🥷,, something dangerous is lurkin in My garage ready to burst out in a fit of Big Hp, high boost baja Rage .

Just a warning on this car. Yes it's awesome, but it's also totally illegal. It doesn't come with an engineers certificate. I spoke to the owner a number of times about it but he never bothered doing anything, he just drove it round with dodgy rego cause a 13bt is WAY TOO BIG to get authorized in NSW. Sad but true.
