Mon, 20 May 2002 03:35 ROD, mate i went back and removed some of the profanity and personell insults from my posts, hope it suffices! TOYROTA, you have never said in words that you are the rotary guru, yet you seem to be determined that you know everything about them, espescially in this case! I have never met you and i do not know anything about you (and the same goes the other way!!) so it was wrong for me to attack you personally, however by continually replying without ringing and asking someone about this engine, you are insulting me personally and my intelligence! There are 2 main reasons i didnt go ahead with the rotary conversion in my car, number 1 is the cost! To have a very strong engine built with T04,aftermarket computer,larger pumps,exhaust,EFI conversion,etc etc was enormous! $12-13k thats before diff,brakes,paint,wheels,interior,etc.(the hybrid is only $1k or so more to have built which is affordable to most people,for what you get hp wise!) The car would have been extremely quick but als a real prick to drive(which is my second point!) I could not justify spending so much money and ending up with a car that wasnt usefull as a daily driver! My car has in the past and will again (when finished) be driven daily. I can not afford to spend so much money on my car to keep it parked in the garage and only drive it occasionally, and when it is driven is only suited to high rpm straight line stuff. I have not built it as a race car or a show car, it is a neat streeter! Justin asked about peoples opinions on a rotary conversion, i can assure that in the future he (as we all do) will want more power. So i suggested that he put in a 12A turbo for now, so that it is engineered as a turbo then later if he does want more power he can do the whole hybrid thing and his car remains legal. It was just an opinion i gave. He has later revealed that he only wishes for a 13B carby and will keep it at that,so i say if that s what you want,go for it!!! I had my previous Celica insured with Just cars for 15k with my engine in it. I had to post them photo's as an assesor wasnt available in my area at the time. I was 19 at the time and it cost me $2k a year. They didnt care what mods i did as long as i notified them of it. 3rd party property for the same car was $750 a year incl fire and theft but they only cover a maximum $4k no matter what the car.
