Unhappy Popped my 12a at Shannonville today !

Not only did it rain at the track today, it looks like I blew my #2 rotor. Any suggestions on were in the GTA , I would get the best deal on a newly rebuilt street ported 12a replacement for my car.

Thanks for any help .

Oh man that sucks! Oh well time for more power, no sense sticking something in that made the same power as the old one

Good luck hope you find something soon!

Aw no!


As for finding a new keg... it seems like there isn't a single shop in southern Ontario that hasn't been bitten by controversy. FBs are CP Racing's nugget, but take a look at the Good Guy/Bad Guy section to see how their customers have been feeling for the last 2+ years...

If I hear of something, I'll let you know.

Hey! I was going to suggest that. That's where I'll be going when the time comes.

Ahhh...that was your car on the back of the trailer being pulled by a pickup right?
I seen it at Rossland/Ritzon.
Sorry about the motor, but very nice FB!

Question: Do you want a good deal on a motor or do you want a solid rebuild. That is the question!

Time for 13BTT power. I haven't had a rebuild from rotaryrocket but i can say 1 thing. He's a pretty good guy to deal with.

Good luck with the motor. Keep us all updated on how it goes

I don't have any spare engine parts around for a 12a, but if you can find the housings and rotors that you want to use....than I can help you out.
Many engine builders think that rebuilding a motor is "top secret" and they only build thier motors at night with the shop doors locked, so that nobody can disturb them.
I on the other hand encourage you to come and help me build the motor, that way if you have never done such a thing before you can learn something...maybe I'll learn something too

Was there any problem that you were aware of, or was it just its time? At least you were flogging it on the track which ment it died doing what it was intended for and you were enjoying it. I destroyed mine on the track a few years ago, but there were complicating factors that led to its deminse. It felt like a family member died.

Not a good time to have your engine toss it's cookies. On track activities are just getting started. What about the engine that's in the blue FB you bought this spring? I have a 13b you can have free if you want it. It's supposed to be ported & fresh & is the victim of a V8 engine swap - apparently the owner wasn't happy with the power output of the rotary. Give me a call if you want it Steve.

I have 12a housings and rotors. I need to open the keg and see what condition they are in though.

I still have my GSL-SE irons if they are of any use to anyone. Some beer will suffice
