if your so keen on entering datnats, u could just tow the ute up, and then u can still go in the show and shine and things where the car doesnt need to go.

fair enough that you don't wanna give up just yet with the rotor, but why not just go back to stock until you can find another???

i'm with dazzasute, throw the a series in to get you around. then you can sell the old school 12a carby motor and save your pennies for a nice 13b injected turbs... since you've modified your car to accept it already. just how much was the ol' 12a anyhoo?

mmm its too much effort to put the old engine back in, and i really cbf atm. still cut about losing the rotary. maybe if im sick of mums car after datnats, i might see if its worth putting back in or not.

sell the kidney and parts for a reco or wreckers special 12a. or do an ange and buy a whole rx7with a good motor but crap evry thing ese and just use the motor.

na dont bother with the chook cookers...they belong in mazdas.
A series at full noise with twin carbs would kill the rotissary anyday for looks, longevity, and that sound.....
