a boxer sound is still enough to tent my pants, but it's different.

you can't really say one is better than the other. a rotary on full song sounds just as horn and tuned as a boxer. but it's just different.

answer - own both for me

think i might get myself a capella then

kwij... might i ask, why did you change the grille? the old one looked a little better in my opinion. in fact... a lot better.

well the slatted plastic one is silver not chrome. when i'm feeling rich, i'll get it chrome plated then swap it in. but yeah looked funny in silver and it didnt sit right cos of the bumper.

i change it now and then when my mood changes lol

nice ride mate just a bridgeport and bigger turbo hey get it really flying then....a big front mount would look good hey that will solve ya grille problem...cool car

haha yeah thanks

bridgey would be awesome but yeah i've gotten to a point with my car where i'm over spending cash on it and pulling it apart. I just want to drive it for a while!

Yeah thought about a front mount but undecided.

Ahhh hehe, cool. Fun isn't it :P

Mabey one day I'll cross-breed one too.

haha yeah well it's the best of both worlds really.

obscene power and smooth torque curve matched up with symmetrical all wheel drive....

I have had wild ideas along the lines of putting a Subaru gearbox and front hubs into my Series 1 RX7.
Although overtaking people with the rear wheels smoking is still fun...

Was it easy enough to adapt the 13b to the EA82 bellhousing?
What exactly did you do for the clutch and flywheel setup......adapt the EA82 flywheel to the 13b?

Yea im curious about this too, also are you having trouble breaking gearboxes?

kwijmbo · Post by **kwijmbo** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 2:21 pm

nope gearboxes are good. the torque curve is quite smooth and i don't slam my gears so touch wood - no trouble yet

its just as cool second time round looking at the pics.
how did your go with adapting the engine to gbox?
