it depends what you call light..... they are heavy enough that you wont save any weight over a 4cyl, and a lot of 6 cyl engines.
and if replacing a k series etc you will gain a heap.

One advantage of a rotor is all the rotor hoes that come with ;)

Just be careful you don't catch anything... 'unwanted'
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

cmon warwick its goin to gain weight over a k series engine even wen u put in a 4 cylinder 4agte or 6 cylinder or a big ol derrty v8 :D
Put a rotor in so u can drive around listenin to all the young whangareians saying phat ride mang , getarotorbro , and do a burnout aww :lol:

and the upside like adamal said is u get a guaranteed rotor ho wit the ride but also as he said be careful u could catch sumthing or most likely go to jail if u touched her :lol:

back to the rotor altezza theory

it cracks me up how everyone who has never driven a fd3s thinks ALL rotaries have no tourque

and to say(or think) that the 3sge'd altezza 6 speed has tourque is absolute bollix

on a hill to pull right into trafic i have to dump the clutch @ atleast 3000rpm to try and get into a merging lane without being taken out

a rotary in a ke wagon would go great, they are light weight and would last forever if driven by someone who has respect for em

and they would allways hold their price, pull more hoes and ass bang for buck

Peace
