hi all i couldnt find a newbie area so i thought i would best start here im alex by the way.
only got in to rotary stuff in the last couple of years with the rx8 but somehow lost that and built a lightweight car running the renesis lump but hopefully going big power with an engine swap next year turbos etc. as im so new i cant post attachments but here is a short vid of the car :)

hey welcome.. looking good. 1st time i seen a metro with rotary :)
would be funny at the lights with a stock body metro n rotary lol
How did you set it up? RWD?
Wanted to put a REW in a classic Mini for ages, would be deadly and fun :burnout
going to be fun and looks good, got any build up pics??
yes its rwd with all the dsc ect from the rx8 .i have some good build up pics of the car but cant post them as im a newbie and cant figure how many posts i need to apply pics .cheers al
you need to be a member im affraid. you can upload them to photobucket.com though, very simple and easy to use. once uploaded copy the IMG code under the picture and paste it into the reply box.
Nice to see!
Regards
Carl

Excellent motor and sounds the nuts .
I like that alot.
Love the look of a 6r4....Looks like you have spent alot of time and money on it?...any further pics of the installation of the engine etc?
hi thanks for the positive comments i built this car in just over 4 months and had little time to take pics as such as they never seem important at the time .these are the only ones i have cheers al.
