Oh and Pics for thread.

I was just searching around and found these.

 

 

for comparison, i'll give you my LS1 FD, as well as a friends stock rotary. both with no driver, no spare, stock wheels and 3/4 gas tank approx.

my FD LS1 with no PS, no AC, no ABS:
Left Front lbs. 684 
Right Front lbs. 695 
Left Rear lbs. 705 
Right Rear lbs. 645 
Total Front lbs. 1379 
Total Rear lbs. 1350 
TOTAL Weight 2729 
% over Front 0.505 
% over Rear 0.495 

My friends stock 93 R1:
Left Front lbs. 718 
Right Front lbs. 718 
Left Rear lbs. 660 
Right Rear lbs. 618 
Total Front lbs. 1436 
Total Rear lbs. 1278 
TOTAL Weight 2714 
% over Front 0.53 
% over Rear 0.47 

 

 

So I was down in Torrance, (West Side Alignment) getting my car corner weighted and balanced... 

Results for the LS1, PS, AC, Stereo, and Full Interior + Spare... & Driver...

LF 774 lbs
RF 730 lbs
RR 802 lbs
LR 758 lbs

Total 3064 lbs Total; with 3/4 Tank and Myslef ~150 lbs

This makes a front to back weight ratio of 49.1% Front to 50.9% Back weight ratio
and 51.4% Left to 48.6% weight distribution.... Which is pretty much what stock is, ratio wise... and maybe about 200 lbs heavier than stock(with Rotray) with me In it. So the(LS1 / V8) swap netted me about 80 - 100 lbs...

Yeah GM were developing a rotary Corvette, it never went ahead due to reliability and emission issues.

heaps of manufacturers built development mules with rotary engines, ive seen a pic of a mustang set up with a rotary, and i think Mercedes were trying one for a while.

Citroen built a rotary for a while i think.

Wasn't there some sort of camber correction brackets you could get for a Tr6 that might work with the sedan ? I think someone on here was looking into them on there project.
