Thinking about Joining The Rotary Club...
I am considering the purchase of a 13B Mazda Rotary to go into a Fenderless Volksrod project that I'm working on...
The motor came out of a beetle so it's just a case of putting it back into one, as adapters and parts are pretty much all there..
Has anyone here had any experience with these motors and are there any tips, pointers or warnings that I need to be aware of..???
I hear a Ceramic clutch wouldn't go astray..
Any feed back is appreciated..
Thanks.
I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....

Herbie would be a good guy to talk to. I think he might just know a thing or two about the old rotary !!

Moose it's not for THIS,
It's for THIS...
Why, coz I've always liked Rotary's and the noise a good one makes and this is a road Only car so it doesn't need the same power and torque factors
that I require from my Baja...
Oh, and Because I can...
I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....

I have not bought it yet, but I have been advised of one that is for sale although it is still only a 4 seater conversion and I want the longer 2
seater one that comes almost up to the back of the front seats...
