8 inch ford Mustang and other models are a good choice
a bit lighter and take heaps of pushishment like the hilux
but unlike Hilux strange alloy and others make alloy centres
and other billet bits, lockers, lsds etc.

I had a rotary in my old 1000, was too slow and when I tried
to engineer it but ran out of time in the end not to mention
got caught driving it by the fuzz when testing it mildy :)

Had various rotary mazda cars up to 15 years ago and would
love them again but hard to ignore a good 4 cyl these days.
SR20VET is so cheap in the US, I would not look the other way.
They are commanding big prices now in JPN.
They command what a couple of rotary housings go for these days.
Way more reliable and can do big skids on all 4 tires on heavy Xtrails
