Quote from: DRAGONGeff said to me they are going to run in on petrol to begin with, so you\'ll both be on equal playing fields!

I beleive that the Reworx car will be considerably lighter than ours as we are still running at over 1000 kilos.If they are running petrol at first then that will be interesting.
As our car is as streamlined as a brick and pretty short wheel base I think it will be quite a handful.
It would be nice to get into the 10\'s with it though.
When is your car making it\'s re-appearance Ross?

cool, it would be good to see a RX3 run in the UK.... looks like from next year the drag scene should be a good one for rotary powered cars :Thumbs-up

Quote from: CarlIt obviously won\'t be as quick as the ReWorx RX8 which is going to be running on Methanol.We will be using petrol still.

What\'s the fascination with RE:Worx\'s RX8?! FYI, apart from the chassis which is largely now complete, every thing else is very much subject to change - regardless of what you might have heard or been told :Santa

Ahh, come on Carl; 10s was a couple of years ago, and Ross ran 160mph\'s with what was a fairly basic IRS chassis and a 13B last year. As travellin said:

Engineered chassis, auto, big hp 20B = 8s easy mate, surely!

As soon as some ones bought it and fixed it I imagine! :rollin

Looking forward to the cars debut next year. That side exit should be quiet ;-)

I wouldnt say I\'m the one who\'s been phishing bud...and I certainly wont be the last!

Carl - what did you expect? its not the first time you\'ve felt the need to announce things about Geff\'s car (that you\'ve heard thru the grape vine) to the world; I\'m just not sure why you brought it up in a thread about your own car :Hammer If you dont want me to comment on such \'statements\' about a car you\'ve never seen in the flesh or talked to the builder about, dont make them :King

I stand by my other comments; considering there are a number of people now who\'ve run 10s with stock rear ends, a \'fully engineered\' car will surely have greater expectations than 10s. I\'m interested why you are fitting a 20B instead of either the 3 or 4 rotors you have had running btw?

Quote from: 20b_boyLooking forward to the cars debut next year.

Genuinely, I do. I\'ve hankered for a tubbed Coupe for a long time now, but my cheque books broken atm, and I still have a cage in the FD to pay for :rolleyes:

Regs,

looks great carl. will have to have a good look at it when im over with ya to collect my car, and you MUST let me hear it run.

should have sprayed it orange tho:p j/k

Carl · October 22, 2007, 06:23:48 PM

Hi Rich,

The reason for the 20b is something that you should know.It is called Rules dear boy.
The rules for sport compact say that you must use an OEM engine,and we are doing exactly that.They also state that the car should be from the same manufacturer as the engine,we are also doing that.So the 3 rotor and 4 rotor short blocks are not usuable.

The reason for "Fully engineered"(Sic) is for safety,something that some don\'t seem to be too concerned about.

When I have said to Ross about his car coming back out,what is wrong with that,he did come on the thread after all? I would like to see both his and yours run.I don\'t believe I have said anything negative about your car.If you do then you must be absolutely shaking in your boots for no good reason.

The fastest rotary powered car in the world is a streamlined RX8, RX3\'s are brick like in their shape.
10\'s will do for me,if we go faster then great,if we don\'t then that is no great shakes either as we have built the car to have fun.If I wanted to be the fastest out there then I would build the car to suit,as opoosed to building the car I like.
Sometimes people take it all to seriously.
Regards
Carl
