Rotary Newbie with Lotus 7 replica

Hi. I am a complete newbie to rotary engines. I joined the group to learn about my engine. My car is a 1990 Rotus, a replica of the early Lotus 7's and Caterhans. This car is 10 inches longer and 4 inches wider. More comfortable and sleek and has an Indiannapolis racing style suspension

The engine is a 1990 13B built by a professional RX7 ITA car builder around 2006. Engine has been street ported, balanced with light weight rotors. Engine was new in 1990 (not a junkyard pickup). Is is running a Weber 48IDA carb that has 50mm bore that has been opened up additionally Dyno checked at 255hp flywheel, MSD ignition with rev limiter, RPM limited to 8600. It has a fan assisted oil cooler and custom C&R aluminum crossflow radiator. It is running onto a 4.10 Toyota Supra rear end with a Toyota Racing Limited Slip.

Right now the engine is fed 2-cycle oil mixed with the gas. I have the oil metering pump system but need advice as to whether to put it back on or not and also have questions about whether this engine as currently set up is streetworthy. Guess I'd like guidance on this setup and where to go for it on this forum.
