The coupe is nice. very nice infact. complete bare metal respray 13B extend port (which seems good as far as i know) it was an unfinished project he was gonna make it just for drags but its still licenced. only problem is hes been chopping up the trans tunnel and strengthening the chassis without getting approval first. so if i buy it.. and i think i might.. and i get pulled over buy the cops it will only be good for drags or curcuits. hmmmmm worth the risk???

godabaute maybe its worthwhile having this john otter bloke have a look for you, or even speak to him to find out what to look for in the engine and its installation. Even if it is registered it might take to much work and money to get it engineered and without that its pointless for the street like you say. Even if you dont get done by the cops, what happens if you have an accident? say good by to your wages as your insurance company wont cover you.

Steve.

Yeah ill get John Otter to take a look at it for me. I have a distant distant distant distant distant relative who is a mechanical engineer maybe he could dodgy up a certificate for me. I need to get it all legal cause IF i crash and take someone out i dont want a new boyfriend named bubba.

exactly, so its not even worth it to get a bodgy engineers certificate. Cause if the time comes the engineer wont care, its not his problem, he just says he never certified it that way

The question was "Mummy, what's a rotary?" [engine]
Now you know. The rotary engine was a dead end design with limited applications, but it was built in large numbers, it was used by all the major combatants in the Great War & some still fly today. It has a history that goes back almost a hundred years.
The assumption that Mazda / Wankel have a monopoly on the title "rotary" for an engine design is a myth.

The question that was actually asked, was answered. You got the point now?

No, sorry this is the subject.

This is the question.
Note" 1200 coupe with a 13B extended port"
Given benifit of doubt as maybe you were unsure. But 13B is a mazda engine.
And 1200's dont have propellers.

this means godabaute has limited knowledge of this engine, so it is asked to not make it confusing.

I agree with the phunk dok here. There is no need to go picking into people's questions to find tiny little faults.

If you wanna be a smartarse at least be funny about it.

Hey, who else is drunk tonight????????

Ummm, the title of the post was framed as a question. I provided an answer that makes the point that the description of "rotary engine" was used a long time ago, & the Mazda / Wankel design does not have a monopoly on the use of that name or description. Net result,... there are those who's fund of automotive / mechanical knowledge has been increased by learning something that they didn't know before. I have the e-mails to tell me that.

As for picking, for the purpose of finding tiny little faults, you got the wrong man. Just look at a nearby post for a good example of nit picking. Then re-read what i ACTUALLY wrote.

How much have you been drinking anyway?

Dodgeman, thanks for more fully answering the question "whats a rotary?". I enjoy learning about engines of all types.
