Superformance S-1, 3.5k miles, $16k BIN

[supersportsp]

Not my car. Seems like a pretty good deal though. With the rotary, the COG is really helped.

VERY interesting. Wonder if it has the full weather set.

a steal at $16K!

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.

rotories are compact, but not particularly light.

I suppose the same could be said about me:D

Seems like a very good price.

I just noticed that the -Buy It Now- price is now 17K. In addition, it now has a reserve as well (16K?).

[MHKflyer52]

Still a good price I think even at 17K......

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:

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.

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.

Back down to 16k

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

Sold

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!
