    seen a pinkish 2dr mk2 on trade me,

    just seen shell, and a picture of a car with really nothing on it,

    genuinely asked if it was just whats in picture or was it complete but in boxes,

    was advertised for 6k, twas thinking a bare shell cant be worth 6k ?

    was then removed next day lol

    only asked as seen complete road going ones in aussie land for 3-4k and was wondering bout it

    re wildrx,

    aint no expert, but i'll throw my 2cents in :)

    thats a tough question, as sitting for so long, near all will need checking and rebuilding if its seized,

    so could be alot of work which can dip into the price

    needs more details and pictures,

    always try advertising with as much info and decent pictures as poss and ask for sensible offers etc

    also depends whether you want to sell car and parts separately etc as im sure you'll be asked lol

    The things going to spend its life primarily punting around on the open road, so think 2000-5500rpm ish operating range, limited to 7000rpm.

     

    thats a low operating range for a rotary engine, also you dont want to be boosting/hard boosting that low either, well below 4k anyways, as thats when engines go pop :(

    they dont really start life until above 3.5-4k and are designed to go to 8/9k

    Ok piners, I would like some advice...

    This is the one and only time I am going to rebuild the FC, so what tweaks should I make? Bearing in mind it is stock standard nana spec but is running a Mazdaspeed twin exhaust.

    My thoughts are maybe a mild port job?

    A friend is also saying I should get the turbo welded up and put on an external waste gate (all plumped in of coarse)???

    I want it to be original as possible, but like I said, a few minor tweaks? All my previous rotors have been old school 51mm IDA and extractors type set ups haha, none of this churbro stuff with pipes everywhere.

    Oh, and I am not going front mount or anything like that...

    you have a project thread ?

     

    what series is the FC ?

    what series is the engine ?

    what series is the turbo ? or what turbo ?

     

    if series 4, get a series 5 turbo and intercooler, S5 turbo has twin internal wastegates, and for a street car is pretty controllable, series 4 has only one and doesnt control boost that well

    stock ports, or stage 2

    fuel - bosch pump and malpassi or turbosmart fpr is a must :)

    3" big bore exhaust and k&n panel filter is all good,

    decent bov, like turbosmart,

    factory setup is all good, but with a few tweeks is even better

    if FC turbo, you can put in a to4 wheel in FC inlet side, just gives it that little bit extra,

     

    i like external wastegates, im pretty external happy :)

    Well I think I have a failed water seal in the FC which means no G1 for me till I fix it. *sad face*

     

    sorry to hear :(

     

    whats G1 btw ?

     

    if you want a band aid fix to get to a few places for a few months, holts - head gasket seal, i'll dig out the exact name if you want, it can cure pretty good water seal failure, but also doesnt muck up the cooling system or plates,

    i dont do the quick band aid fix myself, but can get you a few months for a few shows or meets etc if your hard pressed
