We can just chalk it up to you spending too much time in the sun at SNF.

Ed,
Cool video. Love that sound! Too bad
the 3-rotor will likely never be produced in mass again. Good thing it
will most likely outlast my flying career.

Ah, Mike. You think perhaps you joke
about the 24B. Take a look at the video of this Mazda Concept car With
perhaps a 24B in it!!! If the 2 rotor 1600cc is suppose to put out
around 250HP the 3 rotor 1600 should blow everything with pistons out of the
air (figurative speaking of course)

Yes, compared to the car installation, even our
busiest aircraft installation looks anemic.
Well, rather than
replace my older 91 13B with a Renesis, I may just wait for the
16B (but, I won't hold my breath {:>))

Hi
Ed,
Your off list help on the number of studs on the RX-7
throttle body paid
off. I never could see the fourth nut, but
I stuck a socket and
extension on the fourth corner and it locked
on to something. After
turning it a while, the throttle body
came right off.
I always wondered why people would let the oil
injector feed lines get
brittle and crack without checking them
once in a while. Now I know.
Who the hell could ever find
them without a shop manual. There are
more hoses, wires, and
devices attached to that engine and I don't even
want to know what
they are for.
The 1600 cc engine is beautiful, thanks for the
pictures. If they put
it in a car, they will add so much junk
that you won't ever see the
engine.
I like old cars with a
few modern improvements, like electronic
ignition and EFI.
This week I started my '74 Suburban for the first
time in a
year. It has electronic ignition, manual choke, and
an
electric fuel pump. After charging the battery overnight,
it started
right up. After 60 miles on the highway it was
running as good as
ever. (That only cost me about 25 bucks
for gas which is why it
hadn't been started for a year.)

Things
been a bit quite of recently. How about a view of the 1600 cc
rotary under development by Mazda. Those aluminum side housing
sure look nice. Rotor is thinner but larger in diameter with a
larger throw on the eccentric shaft for more torque at all rpm.
Saving my pennies.
