Hi: to all those old timers who recall the crowed from 3 or 4 years ago:
Well, I was fishing through the net and came across this and the web site here in Bulgaria. Thought some may be interested in my 11 second run in my old 3 rotor. I loved that car, quick animal that was eventually. ALL 601 BHP of it.

I`ve seen that fd in one of the jap mags about 3yr ago, the owner at the time said he was moving to Bulgaria.
Sicknote on FDUK now owns this tripple rotor FD now I believe its painted green now
I met and talked to the original owner (a man in his 50ties) He was at Zolder circuit and driving the car to Bulgaria. Power was rated at +- 650 hp back then.
Car was built by WGT and the engine was placed further back to retain the 50/50 weight balance.
Sound of the car was superb. Owner and his wife were very friendly
Normski the original poster was the owner (the man in his 50s) lol
Normski car is a alll Green now and Dave has installed a Viper Gearbox to it as well a sit kept stripping 3rd gear
Yes It was me! or is me. I am the original owner. or was in this case!! :2Confused
I was the one who commissioned Pip at WGT to put the thing together. Miss the old girl, but it was not a cheap animal to keep on the black stuff. As I moved to Bulgaria I just could not manage to keep it maintained in some sort of reasonable mechanical condition they just don’t have the skills out here. So,, Sorry to say, it had to go. But GREEN who came up with that crazy idea!! I paid around 5K for that paint job. Anyone got any pics of it now and any other info would be nice. Also Interesting about the third gear, I never had a problem with it. I thought it was going to be the diff that was going to die. That’s why I never really give all it had off the line. The film clip was I think a 12.2 second run, that was in it’s de-tuned state about 500BHP ish on road plugs, also just could not get the grip with road rubber on the car. :burnout
The Green came up by a chappy named Craig. He had the time attack V8 built as well that is being stripped at the minute. The 3 rotor was the slower of the 2 !!!
Looked awesome in the flesh.

Normski, Maybe you remember me from our talk at the Van Herck booth a few years back at Zolder circuit.
Could you tell some more about the front subframe? how it was modified or replaced for that matter to put the engine back in the car.
The pictures show how much lower the manifold sits compared to a \'normal\' 20B built.
Any pictures from the underside when it was built at WGT?
thx
Hi Normski, Blitzy and others.
Yep, she is an out and out track car now in my good hands. :cool
She runs a dodge box with straight cut gears and has been dry sumped as well as all the carbon goodies and the Motec is running the show with traction and launch controls.
I\'mb not a full member on here so can\'t post the piccies but if I can forward them onto someone to post then I will.

Just like that bad penny, I keep turning up, well occasionally. I hope the old girl is still kicking ass, and still in one bit. Sad to say those good old days are gone now, but still enjoyed the times I had with everyone. Ok, so the car is now green, if you can sent anything through picture wise I would be very grateful, she has gone but never forgotten, if it’s not a car killer it certainly was a bank killer, hahahah! Send us links and or any info, films, pictures to djnormski@hotmail.com. Catch you soon. :cheers

Sorry, best thing to do is have a word with Pip at WGT, for any of that type of information. But hope things are OK with you !
