[Fiesta Steve]

What a wanke*

 

[young un]

Mr Sam - im taking it that thats ur engine bay you hav posted a pic up of - mazdas arent old skool lol

[Mr Sam]

no its an anglia in New Zealand the guy is using an NA 13b as the dummy engine but has a tubby one to put in

 

im getting very tempted though as the carb'd ones just have an awsome sound and seem to go like the clappers

[RFChris]

Do it!

[Guest MK1gaz]

The washing machine lookalike rotary motors are mental . They drink petrol like a big V8 though

[young un]

dont do it keep it old skool - or at least ford - put in a zetec

[ZetecVan 2.0]

Do it. Do it. Don't put in a Zetec.

[young un]

Dont do it DOnt do it. put in a zetec - or a screaming crossflow

 

hehe

[Mr Sam]

typical.......

 

 

theres an atmo one down the road at £50

 

 

and yes its first few seasons will be screaming 1300 x'flow and no sorry but i couldnt bring myself to put a zetec in it

[young un]

zetec is that Mr Sam or a rotary??

[mossy]

be daring.....do something different!

[TomB]

Do it, i love the rotary engine...reving to 10000 rpm.

 

Watch loads of these cars in Orlando,crazy times with small engines.

[Wessie]

do it sam not all angleboxes need to be zetecs !

[bmxdave]

YES YES YES! The 13b is a great engine. I reckon in NA form itd suit your car best. Theyre readily availible in the 80's rx-7's too as no-one wants them. You hear loads of stories about them being unreliable and needing a lot of work, but its not true. If you really look after it like you should any engine, and use the right oils and decent fuels then itll run far longer.

[Messenjah]

DOOO ITT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[huxmk1estate]

DOOO ITT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

WELL!!!! thats going to be my next engine!!!!

 

do it.... they do cost tho .so be careful

[Guest MK1gaz]

do it sam not all angleboxes need to be zetecs !

thank fooooook for that

[Mr Sam]

trust me whether this gets done or not i will NEVRE i repeat NEVER be putting a zetec in my anglia its going x'flow screamer then 8v pinto.........unless i stick rotors in it

 

 

 

 

thats the video ive been looking for, not bad for a 1.3 huh

[oliwally]

If you can find a cheap mot failed cosmos then get that,serious power as its a 20b 3 rotor,get it bridged ported and some carbon seals.

watch how the white one takes off

[oliwally]

there's also a firm that fit these into rally escorts,so should be fairly easy to get them to fit into the 'box

[Mr Sam]

thats mental such a barge but dont half shift!!!

 

 

lots of rotary dragsters all running 8's

[Mr Sam]

there's also a firm that fit these into rally escorts,so should be fairly easy to get them to fit into the 'box

 

yes one turned up at pod back in Feb, launched off the line (must of still had the suspension in rally settings) fish tailed 90degrees each way then just took off sequential box as it was propperly banging through every gear........thats whats made me want todo it really

[Mr Sam]

 

that one has convinced me it is a goooood idea all be it an expensive idea

 

just listen to that rev and watch for second gear

[Smudger105e]

I had this discussion with Burns a few months ago, would an Anglia with a wankel become a Wanklia?
