Probably like being in space shuttle Challenger, but not the takeoff part, the blowing up part.

Have you never been to one of those Pneumatic powered rail car tracks they used to have at the larger g0-cart facilities? They look like a Jr. dragster rail car, but are infact on rails. You sit in it, the light turns green and you hang on.

Jesus christ wheelie bars.

My friend mo had a 1st gen. 12a and carbed. It wouldn't start one day and he just said ---- it and punched the windsheild (cracked it bad), let it sit for a few months and then sold it for $200. Now he drives one of those new base model sentras. If only we knew what he had......

---- the gas mileage. Rotaries are bad ***. What i've learned this past month about rotaries, the good outweighs the bad. They're dirt cheap. Really. They sit in junkyards because nobody want's to ---- with a rotary. Elmo got his fb for free. Some guy felt sorry for him because he wrecked his accord and gave him the keys and title. Bastard.

Scoot 4 rotor FD3S ALL MOTOR:

I haven't done that much research on 4 rotors but it's either 2 12a's put together or 2 13b's put together, not a production model. Some Aussie company makes 4 rotor e-shafts and pineapple racing has a 4 rotor sitting on their shelf. Not sure how much they want for it but my guess is too much. They are EXPENSIVE to build.

the scoot 4 rotor consists of 4 12a rotors and housings.

usually the aftermarket companies use 12a components because its cheaper and allot shorter than using a 13b 4 rotor.

i live walking distance from downing Atlanta and mazmart, and they are one of the phew places that own original 26b's from mazda with the trumpeting carb setups.

people tend to lean towards bridgeporting because they dont damage the apex seals as much as pporting, and also allot of racing classes dont allow p ports. i dont know why, but they dont.

that car is using a large j bridge or, some kind of D shaped peripheral port thats pretty high up.

its a new production model after they realized the 9 inch was too strong they needed something that would break easier. ford wasnt entirely living up to thier name by supplying parts that last.

well they are more for "street cars" they dont and arent *** powerful as the ford 9 inch but they are strong enough for the street.. but also there are alot of rear ends that dont come in cars.. for example teh rear i have in my car is a ford 9 inch from a ford pickup f100....
