Newbie Rex owner-Midlands

Dave lippet + Mazda rotary + limitless amounts of bolt on goodies, what could possibly go wrong!
 
Hi Mate

:2eek :2eek :2eek
I don\'t have any idea whatsoever as to what you could possibly be alluding to....:spank
 
I\'ll bring it to the pub next Wednesday if you want see for yourself what they feel like before you put that lardarse lump of V8 Yankee pig iron into \'em...:evillaugh
 
Of course I may also have a fall back plan of some sort:2Rolleyes , but the prospect of a 450bhp rotary is very appealing at the moment.....
 
Took one of the younger design engineers out of the office at lunchtime for a spin in the Mazda...(He\'s into 205GTI\'s, as you know I am too)...
 
Anyway, he was deeply impressed with the Rex, and its ability to trap on properly around the country lanes....
 
So deeply impressed I think he needed a change of pants....

Hi mate,
 
Left WGT at 4.30 and got home about 6.30, Got off M6 junction 2 and took the country lanes home. car is totally different now but injectors are nearly maxing out at 6000rpm so havent been above that untill i get them cleaned. Going to sort the injectors then get the boost raised alittle more, thinking of 850cc primaries like pip advised. Car made 270 bhp at the wheels at 0.7bar at 6000rpm due to the injectors being slightly blocked, oh well.
 
Good to hear about your mates V8RX, it sounds mental.

The same power as mine atw. I went upto wgt 2 weeks ago and forgot my locking wheel key. Pip squezzed me in for dinner time so i had to do the 62mile trip home just to get it. Ended up blagging the whole day off work:evillaugh

Don\'t laugh...You\'re taking the motor out!
 
I\'m hoping it\'s only a blown hose...but I think it may be a bit more serious!
It joins the Husaberg with the busted crank, and the Westfield in lots of pieces...Can anyone spot a theme forming here...:evillaugh
 
Don\'t forget I bought it ultra cheap...Was just hoping to get a couple of months before rebuild time. ah well, sh*t happens.Spoke to Pip at WGT, gonna take the engine to him and let him work his magic....
If I\'m rebuilding it would be rude not to fit some proper go-faster parts too.....
 
If I kill it again, then I know a man who can fit an old-fashioned piston engine for me....:evillaugh :evillaugh
PS I\'m on my way out at this time in the morning...Gotta walk past a broken Rex in the yard....

[Merbals]

[chopper2k22]

good to see another midlander, my car is just up at pips too having some nice rebuild work done should have it back in a couple of weeks fingers crossed.

[tinker-27]

took the motor out today one rear tip missing the other two jammed in and the front rotor very oily , i dont know much about rotarys but thats bad i think !!!!!

[chopper2k22]

youll problably need new housings if the inside is badly scored which it sounds like and there not cheap either

[RobbieRX-7]

Get new housings for £400 or used housings for £100 from http://www.rxmotors.co.uk/fdengines.php

Cheers for that...
I\'ve been away over Easter, but I\'m off to Dyno Torque, (Tinker-27\'s workshop/emporium), tomorrow to inspect the damage, and decide on a course of action.....
 
Whatever the decision more horsepower and torque will be the end result...
 
There will also be some specific lightening being done tooo...Tho\' that will only be my wallet....:2eek :2eek :o
 
Think it was all my fault too, had a bit of an airlock in the cooling system, perhaps my attempts to bleed it were a bit shonky...Whatever...It\'s busted now, so it has to be fixed...:evillaugh
