I wonder what transmission it was using

 

I've heard that you can mount the rotary to a porche transaxle with just an adapter plate. I'm gonna guess that's what they did. Somehow.

 

Dope as hell!

 

not surprised that it was built by the aussies.
They would put a rotary into a washing machine if need be LOL

 

my first impression is: "dyno queen!"

i would be scared to get the rear tires spinning in that thing at any speed above 25mph. come on... a bus? it's top heavy as hell. looks like a real rolling coffin to me.

so it has no real practical use unless they decide to tub it out, which i have no idea why they didn't.

 

yeah

Id like to build a 70s porsche chassis with a rotary... good bang for the buck and cheaper to make horsepower compared to how expensive porsche engines go for.

but i hate targas

A 13bt with simple bolt ons and boost would be killer in a old 911

 

on a side note, 609whp isn't that impressive these days for a 3 rotor but still more than plenty for that rolling deathtrap.

 

thats a lot of oil too with rear mounted engine and oil cooler in front.

 

Tiny rear tires. If they used the adapter to mount the engine to a Porsche transaxle, I wonder how long the trans will last with that kind of power.

 

its just for show and tell as Karack said.

 

Sweet, love the old VW vans. May be a trailer queen, but I have a feeling it's surprised a few wanna be's on the street trying to stop light race it.

 

 

Err...

hahahaha holy ****... that will show u nay sayers

 

They really aren't top heavy. I have had a few, I was actually surprised how well it went off road. He is probably run a built bus transmission

 

Fixed

 

Thats pretty sweet.

 

Sick! needs a new driver

 

So it's as fast as my 12a N/A and it's in a fuggly van! What a waste, dumb blokes.

 

So Aussies build some of the fastest powered rotary anything in the world... But have you ever seen such bad wheel choices by an entire country?

Every old school Rx2/3 ect. from down under usually has horrible wheels.

 

beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder.
But I don't think my wheels look horrible.

10-4. I feel the same way. most of the time, the bling bling can be misleading but if I'm not used to seeing a 4x4 old school RX.

 

that's it??? good choice of motor but not the car
