Time to meet Rotary NARP, welcome to the restart of my project Options

[Rotary'14]

Hi All,

I've been lurking around for a while now and felt it's time to get off my A$$ and put a teener back into my life. I went and rolled my last project car out of my ma's garage, a 1974 2.0 914. It has some rust issues in the rear trunk and the PO had some crappy repairs done to it, but I'm not complaining. This car has been sitting for over 10 years in my ma's garage. This would be my second rotary 914. The first rotary 914 I ever had was over 10 years ago, and it survived stop and go traffic and a vacation to SF california, I live in LA. It was my daily driver to my first "real" job for 3 years. But 3 years of daily driving really took it's toll on my poor 914 and lack of parking forced me to send it to the autobahn in the sky. I kept all the parts and I'm starting the project again.

Hi Did you guys notice the "oddball" attraction to a 914... and the same attraction to a "oddball" motor wankle... QUOTE Don’t get me started; I can go on and on and on. I said the same thing, almost... This is a proven swap for the 914. We are better now equipped to handle the lacking (drivability) details of 20 years back... I am surprised this is not a V8 alturnative(sp). Rock on Later Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

Joe, I have been involved with the transplanting of the rotary in to all kinds of crazy rides since it’s beginning. After dusting of the competition most cannot believe that it’s a rotary motor. I think the general public or racing community is just starting to relies the power potential of the wankel, with it showing up in some of the drag racing events and kicking a$$. And that’s only with the 2 rotor. We have not even begun with the 3 rotor yet. Soloracer will be the first there, if he gets off his but and finisher his machine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I have plans to build a 4 rotor and open a can of whip ass on everybody. Just at the moment I have my hands full for the next few years. I figure the 2 and 3 rotor is just catching on now after all these years, so I have plenty of time to play with the 4 rotor.
