I remember about some F.2 cars (Marches being among them), equipped with rotary engines and racing in South Africa, early '80s, didn't recall about the engines being turbocharged too...

They ran one in an 84g March sportscar chassis in Japan IIRC.

its gonig in the front of the toyota starlet if i dont buy petes v8 escort

will starlet gbox take the power?
you MUST fit large oil cooler rotary rely on oil being kept cool as oppossed to water
then you need good exhaust sytem made they work on primaries like 2 stroke motors doing half the power work and u need good repackable silencer very nosiy motors
If you cut corners on things live to regret it! spend the money wisely you will have hassle free racing

So the water radiator on an RX3/RX7/RX8 is a bit like a woman in Brighton, then? Just there for decorative purposes.....

The Lola was raced and sprinted in Scotland in the mid-90's by Calum MacKillop. He was competing this year in the Bike Sports Championship run by 750MC - perhaps the club could put you in contact.

women do have some uses like cooking and cleaning But on a rotary you do not fit an oil cooler of 10 row or your in deep trouble
my oil cooler is bigger than my water rad

Clive Brown · 19 Oct 2009, 19:52 (Ref:2564943)

And size matters, even (or perhaps especially?) in Brighton!

I can't imagine why on earth you should wish to dangle your oil cooler in the sea. Won't the chlorides corrode the alloy?
