Britt, don't waste your time.
I have an RX-7 with a strong 13B engine (132 hp) and lightweight flywheel, and it's a fun daily driver, but the local 914s with stock 2.0 engines thoroughly kick my ass all the time. To be honest, I've given up on trying to keep up with them, because it's too frustrating and humiliating to even try to keep up. It's an in-your-face lesson about the importance of torque. Be smart and be happy, and walk away from the rotary engine idea. Just my experience talkin'.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
