Hey hey!
Hey everyone. Taking a different turn in automotive projects lately. Building a 72c10. A long ways to go but that's why I'm here
Have a torn apart Longblock and a rolling chassis that needs some work. Besides that, a daily and a wankel. Anyways. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of reading here.

Should be. Frame is solid, can needs rockers and the steel around top of the windshield. Manual truck. Might try to find a shortbed frame. Motor rounded a cam, bored out .06 over and freshly honed. Looks great just needs cleaned and picked through and mic'd out

I might regret asking, but what is a daily and a Wankel?.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Wankels are cool. I understand the side seals prevented them from being rebuilt by the hobbyist, and emissions requirements caused their demise. Very cool concept, are there many left around?.

A know a few people who have rebuilt them. Just like a regular internal combustion engine it just takes a few tries and research. There's quite a few around still. Fuel economy was a huge deal breaker in the continuation of the rotary. The rpms are nice (mine is set to 9000rpm) make a fair amount of power and the cars are light. Just not a lot of torque.

I haven't been enjoying the ride quality, it's very firm. At first I thought springs but they should actually be light because they were meant to be used with factory air shocks. Figured it must be...
