Whoa simmer down Mr Defensive!

I like rotary conversions into random cars. There's an E36 coupe in Palmy running some kind of ported NA rotary. It's such a kick buttocks mindf**k when you hear it nailing down the street.

Bizarro interbreeding ftw! (automotive interbreeding I must add)

I think the 1J conversion is pretty cool, and would be insane and difficult to drive. It's just a shame no one seems to want to keep it.

[rollaholic]

its a 2J

[postfach]

Someone needs to buy it, and move the engine about 250mm back, gut the interior and mount a seat and pedalbox close to the back + extended steering column, then a full supergt spec cage and hugely wide wheels and big brakes.

sorry guys, my boss was hormonal, I was over worked, and I needed somewhere to vent or I was gonna kill someone.

now you're talking...

do eeeet

The Altezza is heavier than any RX7 I've ever driven(a few, not many, but a few). It's just not as nimble as an RX7.

The 3s tends to be "nicer" to drive than most rotaries, I would have said all, but the one in the RX8 is fantastic except a little lacking in the top end(felt strangled) when wanting to fang.

How do you know hw heavy a car is just from driving it? Its apparent weight is based on SO many variables its just not worth even mentioning.

you say the 3s is nicer to drive than most rotaries and then EXCEPT for the RX8 which is lacking in the top end. Whut?

RX8's only have power up top. Yes i have spent time in the drivers seat of one.

3s's are gutless unless talking about the 3sgte (since you have not much driven a turbo car- i'll guess you arent) and all RX7s i've driven have beat cock over any NA 3s.

Exactly...while my S4 lacked low end torque in comparison to the MR2, it still had enough get up and go to pull from sub 3000rpm quite happily.

was it on a factory ecu by any chance?

[Dell'Orto]

Yup, just had filter and exhaust, also only on 6 or 7psi, less boost than the MR2 anyway.

[strx7]

they run very lazy timing in the idle to around 2500rpm area with the factory ecu, with an aftermarket ecu you can bump up the timing down low and pick up a lot of bottom end

[Paulio]

haha that car has had about 16 owners since it was imported in 91.

[mr_monkey]

It needs a new rego. Expired Aug 4th.

Funny how its fully certified but the engine is still listed as code 3A2581636 and capacity is 1,452cc

oath put as much weight behind the front x member as possible
hack the fire wall move everything back ( like the old trans ams or like the ae101 1jzge tran am car in nz )
make the car have a wider track too
that would help things along way better

to much power and weight over the front axle makes for bad handling

[mjrstar]

nice looking machine..

I reckon this would look allright parked in the garage next to my 6 sylinder starlet..
But man is that engine a loooonnngg way forward. plus you'd need to bump the power up to a more respectable level..

also if it's anything like my car it'd be needing a taller diff, probably around 3.7.

[Bazda]

Most of my weight is over the front axles. Car handles mint!

[Bling]

I think what Bazda means is it should be converted to FWD to gain traction

[Truenotch]

nah just re-mount the engine in the back, straight to the diff.
