Yeh fingers crossed because they were carbons damage should be next to none. Seems that way after poking our fingers around the intake and exhaust ports.

Cleaned it last night and had a sit which got me motivated to maybe pull the motor out this weekend. Will see how I go.

@Popwil - was planning to run in the RRE series, chrome expression session was its first shakedown/event since it could actually drive without falling apart.

For lots of pics just be my imaginary friend on Facebook (Mark Strawbridge) or for a lot of pics of us working on it follow my instaham account (@ilegit616)

Thanks for the positive comments, wouldn't be so bad if I actually some some "in case of disaster money left" but kinda spent all that to get there haha

vids are on my mates go-pro which I can't get to till thursday, its just incar as couldn't get hold of my mate in time for anything for the outside. There should be a hilarious moment when I was running up the inside of a transman then he proceeded to cut me off so we both gunned it for the hairpin and as you would expect he couldn't really turn nor brake fast enough then fully locked up and went into the sand.

Will upload ASAP and post it up here.

Yeh every night for the last 2 months after work till 12am then every weekend till early morning. Think me and my mate had 2 days off in that whole time, don't know what to do with my life anymore haha

yeh will just rebuild the 12A cheaper than trying to source a solid 13B.

But have actually $ZERO, so won't be for a while. More than likely early next year

Really gutted as there were a few track days coming up to I was meant to attend!

F**K ROTARIES

...sponsors wanted LEWL

reals! 20 or so laps in on saturday morning, full noise up over the hill then baaaap burrrrrp faaaart no power, comp tested at 40,40,60 on both rotors.

Seems to have leaned right out under high RPM and load causing the edges of the carbon seals to burn to a crisp.

so yeh c**ts f***ed, aint looking at this thing till xmas time, broke as a joke after that effort.

Put a car cover over it last night and started pilling shit on top

BAAAP BAAAP BOOM...POP FART BAP DEAD

No matter what you think you and your gauges know, always get a tune....

yeh the breaking part scares me, but hopefully all the money put into it to make everything the bees knees should pay off 

Ill take a pic tonight as the cares finally clean and ready for the tow truck in the AM.

Edit heres a pic that shows it went outside last weekend for a hoon up the hills out west

 

yeh im slack, I'm sure there should be pics flying around the internet of it this weekend 

(running it at chrome) much excitement, almost 8 years to this point when I can actually drive it

Synthetic FTW

Motul 4T 5100 15w50, if greens say to use it you know it must be good $60 4litres

Mineral vs. synthetic in a rotary now days is just a massive myth

Just use motorbike everything

Greens mythbusted run in 100kms then 500000kms etc,

Just told me to drive it hard but not death rev for a few hours drop oil then your sweet, also said to use the below

Engine oil - Moutl 5100 15w50 4T - $60 4litres

premix - Motul 8002T 100ml per 20litres - $30 1litre

Plugs - B9EGV - $15 each if you ask for a discount at Repco, come in a pack of 4

They know there shit more than googling and internet searching, just ring them if you need knowledge, Richard is helpful as!

Racing beat for generic as buggery specs for your carb

I have a 616 rear seat for sale if anyone is keen, no rips springs are all mint etc.

any fellow rota freak got An 02 hand held sensor I can borrow for tuning?

that interior IS SOoOOooOO LUSH!

oh gutted just saw you posted that!!!!

That aircon unit would be pretty nice.

Yeh myth16 is getting there deadlines always drain the bank account and force shit to get done will be at chrome fest hopefully not broken down and hooning round hamptons

heaters galour just for you if you are still looking

Can confirm no demister or heater of any kind needed for revin cert etc.

We just run that rainex crap and have never had an issue even on uber cold mornings/rain.

Not sure about pissing down rain but car would never get driven in it anyway

13b weight without manifolds is only 100kg dont think an LS could bet that + 13beeee mounts up behind strut towers

2" made a shit ton of difference to the look of our car, was well worth it. Plus handles better at a lower height

from what I know its just meant to be a reputable brand ie. CPP. We had no paper work with ours and went through fine, just got to watch scrub line as god dam it was close when running 14" wheels and 2" drops

Application of said fuel pump will help with answers

Otherwise I'll just say SX

I dont even run a head deck, just have amps hidden in boot, then a long iPod cord under the carpet which pops out under the front seat. front speakers just sit behind standard kick panels on the air vents (can't see them) Set and forget the amps and you are away.

All sounds mint to me

Who has CD's now days anyway?

Can vouch for Adrenaline R products.

I run a full stainless exhaust with V-bands on my 12APP, is surprisingly quite and doesnt sound tiny and shit.
Vids on my instagram (search "ilegit616") for an idea of noise (just dodge the ones with a big yellow pipes haha)

Equal length 2" headers - into separate 2 Adrenaline R resonators (their 500mm length ones - merges after into 2.5" by back seat - under diff into Adrenaline R dumpy

done

 

That's the plan 

Lols at people asking 500 for an old arse heater unit, I unfortunately threw mine out and all associated piping when we last moved.

(not help spam)

Build looks like its going swell dude 

concur at the $25K+ for a decent coupé
