Sweet! Going Rotary huh

[StylEmon]

thanks, been rotary since 1999!

I've had everything from mopar muscle, to Nissan rice. But I've always had a thing for Turbo Rotaries and Classic Chevy's... I know, it's a weird mix.

Thats cool there are not many out there. I painted an rx8 and i didnt believe the guy that they run so good " i havent rode in one and just wanted to go for a ride" and at a dead stop he reved it up and dumped the clutch and that thing went circles 7 or so times before i saw a straight line again i believed him after that

The wheels, from what the previous owner told me, are prototype wheels made by Keystone for Michelin for some sort of testing. He had a Kelmark GT that came with them and upgraded and then sold them to me. Im not sure if they were ever produced or if the previous owner was blowing smoke. Some people don't like them I like them because of how different they are.

Here is closer pic, excuse the pollen.

Im actually a little more interested now that this has been brought up I think I will send that pic to Keystone to find out more about them. Lets see what they say.

They have more kick than you'd think. The handling is what makes them so fun. Perfect 50/50 weight distribution can get you out of some close calls!!

If you thought the RX8 was fun, you'd love my little 7. I toasted a C05 Vette twice with the stock turbo on my car.

These motors are a little finicky tho... they can't handle detonation much at all, that's why I use water/meth.

I'm supposed to go pick this up. It's currently at a friends house about 20 miles from here. A 1949 Chevy Fleetline...traded a set of camel back heads for it. I'm not sure if or when I'll ever get to it...

In addition to my Suburban, I have a 79 Volvo sleeper that I'm putting a turbo LS motor in. I have a 2 seat buggy I am finishing right now (hopefully I'll have it done for our New Year's desert trip), I recently finished turning a boat trailer into a car trailer for my buggy and for when I break the Volvo because I will break it....

This is my last project: 27 Model T Ford Roadster Pickup. Did it all myself, except for paint and bodywork. '32 rails bobbed and narrowed, custom rear triangulated 4-bar, rear air bags, front transverse monoleaf, 5.0 HO roller motor, 4-speed tranny, 9 inch rear with 4:11's, bias ply rubber with A/R Salt Flat Special wheels, red-oxide over epoxy primer.

It's a ton of fun and yes it's done... some people get it, some don't. Man, if I had a dime for everybody that says "what color you gonna paint it" -or- "nice rat rod".

======================================================
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep
While riding in my Cadillac
What to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me
About one third my size
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep


I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake
He musta thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep


My car went into passing gear
And we took off with gust (whoosh)
Soon we were going ninety
Musta left him in the dust
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes
The little Nash Rambler was right behind
You'd think that guy could fly
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep


Now we were doing a hundred and ten
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep


Now we're going a hundred twenty
As fast as I can go
The Rambler pulled along side of me
As if we were going slow
The fella rolled down his window
And yelled for me to hear
"Hey buddy how do I get this car outa second gear?"

Video is when we had the STROKER in her.
