Yeah, I'll be there again in the 64 Bel Air.

Arriving late Wednesday at this stage.

Looks good, have a secret fetish for these

I was using Klotz Benol, but it gummed up one of my injectors, so without regular fuel system servicing I wouldn't recommend using it.

The Green Brothers did a comparison of several pre mix oils, even after 6 months the Motul 2T did not separate.

2T is what I'm now using.

You should bring one of your cars Brent!

or just SELL ME YOUR COSMO

I don't have a WOF 

Hell, I don't even have tech inspection.

Will bring the Hoosiers and see if anyone complains

They've mentioned FA about car requirements.

Wonder if I can take my slicks down for the drags...

Geez format changed on here.

Can't find a specific REunion 2017 thread but Google informs is a 2 day event now (Sat &Sun?)..more petrol..more accommodation costs...more rotors I hope to balance the scales in favour...what was it 270+ wankels last Feb?

Does Mad Mike care to make an appearance or the 6 spinner Rx4 or is it still early days in this event?

I don't do that 'Face' thing so likely I'm not in the loop so much to know all the details.

They were trying to find the owner of the 6 rotor and get them to bring it to the event..

Unsure if they've been successful

Mike is confirmed attendance at REunion and Mazda is onboard as a sponsor. Looks like it will be good times. Oh and I'm taking my car.

Same.

See ya there.

Looks like progress is coming along well!

Ill Double that , need a set of 3mm carbons 

Mate is the NZ distributor of E&J seals.

Can ask if they do em?

*EDIT*

No carbons.

How many of you rotary foamers are heading to the event at Taupo in February? Anyone heading up from the South Island?

Yup, should have my car there this year.

Nats in Jan.annual Meremere pine

Pushing hard to make this.

Car goes to the workshop this week to have new manifold & exhaust fabbed up. Motor's being assembled this side of xmas if all goes according to plan.

Gearbox reassembly starts on the 2nd...

Hopefully can get it tuned and tech'd by the nats.

I was wondering about the VVT sound, silver tops are always tickey as shit (a lot more than black tops, but unsure why) but your motor seems especially tickey. Be interesting to see if a new pulley fixes it. Would also be interesting to know if toyota did something different to the blacktops to stop the noise?

My BT was noisey as.

Drove it for 120,000kms and never skipped a beat.

Daily limiter bouncing keeps them tip top.

Sweet car, first time seeing it in the flesh and it's pretty damn awesome.

Oh yeah,

It's sweet.

I want another FD.

Quality brep

 

Is this for sale?

Are them guards pumped or something? 10" +15et stick out like dogs balls on the back of mine.

Forgotten the exact specs but you can fit a 10" +38? on the front and a 10" +18? on the rear of FDs with 225s...

Such a sweet sweet whip

I like it better before it was cool.

Mad isn't it.

PAC seem to be on a crusade to tub every old school rotary they can get their hands on.

Bet that shit isn't easy to change back to original.

CTRL+Z

Precision do the e-shafts and housing modifications.

As far as I'm aware, they supply all of the 26b E-shafts in Australasia.

Think Scoot in JPN and Racing Beat in the US are the only other shops that do 26B E Shafts, but I haven't researched that.

so 'cheaper than you think' is very relative then 

PPRE are still charging $37.5k for a short block.

So cheaper than I thought.

LEWL.

On my second look, bugger that:  

 

 

* NZ $37,500.00 

* Clutch/flywheel, Intake, Exhaust, Alternator, Waterpump and Pulleys NOT Included. But can be supplied at extra cost.

* NZ customers please note that prices exclude GST

26B PP short block is around the $32k mark last time I looked.

that motor would cost so much to build!!!

 

then modgies ... and pink ...

Short blocks are cheaper than you think these days..

Nice work! This thing would be a handful in today's weather!

SHGWAG, do you know the length of an FC/FD gearbox? Mine are inaccessible to measure at the moment.

No sorry. Message me tomorrow and remind me.

Damn that's quick!

Damn that's a shit hand to be dealt!
