supersportsp Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Not my car. Seems like a pretty good deal though. With the rotary, the COG is really helped. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Replica-Kit-Makes_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZalgoQ3dSIQ26ituQ3dUCIQ252BUAQ252BFICSQ26otnQ3d8Q26pmodQ3d150455582040Q26poQ3dLVIQ26psQ3d63Q26clkidQ3d7608179683114260431QQ_trksidZp3907Q2em263QQcategoryZ7251QQitemZ330445651616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athens7 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I haven't seen a rotary engine car like this before. One would think the rotary's compact dimensions and light weight would be a natural fit for our cars. This car sure seems to be a handy buy, especially if it has been properly fettled.

athens7 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 rotories are compact, but not particularly light. I suppose the same could be said about me:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I just noticed that the -Buy It Now- price is now 17K. In addition, it now has a reserve as well (16K?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHKflyer52 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Still a good price I think even at 17K...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athens7 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Is it possible that the USA7s community have become market makers, affecting the price of relevant commodities? If so, watch out for impending government reform/regulation!:devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersportsp Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 I didn't know you could change your BIN and ad a reserve once the auction had already started. Someone should have bought it yesterday and saved $1k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone should have bought it yesterday and saved $1k. If no one has placed a bid then changes can still be made to the auction. But I thought there would be, at least, a notification of the changes.

1-t Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Had a caterham with a rotary. When I first got it the motor and trany were placed too far forward. Difficult to get any rear grip. Once taken care of was a great car. Rotary motors lack torque which was not an issue with such a light car. The smoothness, HP, and willingness to rev made it a good fit for a 7. I really liked the smoothness. Also if you have every rebuilt a rotary you will appreciate how simple a job it is. Negatives were it was thirsty, did not sound quite right, and as stated above the motor is small and dense so placement is more critical. This seems like a really good buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshy Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todo Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Looks like it sold for 16K. I have a rotory RX-7 and I love the never ending revs. They are compact and not really heavy but not made out of aluminum either. A perfect motor for a 7. Somebody got a great buy!
