I just realized all the rotors are facing left, and all the pistons are facing right.

My piccie:


Wee bit blurry do the low-light long exposure and no tripod. This camera does beeter with it than my old one, though.

There were a couple more 7s there earlier, but we didn't grab a photo then.

I'll set up the tripod next time so I can get a clear shot.

that is true

Thanks for taking pictures. I forgot my actual camera or I would have joined in the blurry pictureness.

I also find it funny that you have a camera pointed at you taking that picture.

I mentioned to some of you that I had just passed emissions, and my check engine light had come on on the way to the meet. Discovered when I changed out the starter on Sunday that I had forgotten to plug in the oxygen sensor when I replaced it!
I have no idea how I passed emissions like that, other than E85 is good stuff...

That's when you know you're a bad ***.

Also, I'm kinda looking for a 12a to get some rebuild experience from...... but it'll have to be a mercy sell, I just can't pay top dollar.

Austin too far for you? I bet you could get him to knock some $$'s off it for you.

Some of these may be a little far for you, but could be worth the effort.


Pay him $450 and you get a whole car. Who knows what kind of goodies you may get off it...Also, I hear NC is nice this time of year.


Another good vacation spot. Southwest has some good deals and you can pack the engine up in a carry-on.


Try gambling while you're there...you may double your funds!


LV can be hot in the Summer, but you can get a whole car for $100 more!


Time it right and you can catch a Colts game...sell transmission to pay for your ticket


This local guy thinks he can get some $$$$ for a high mileage engine....inform him otherwise


Take a trip to Austin, get the car, part it out or scrap after you pull the engine.


I'm BAW today, can you tell?

Why is everything nice not it Texas?

I'll give the Killeen guy a week before contacting him, see if given some time he'll be more interested in getting it off his property than making a couple hundred bucks.

I've got an automatic 12A sitting the corner of my garage. It runs but needs a rebuild. I have everything top to bottom except an alternator and a water pump. For 400 bucks you can pick it up in houston if not.I'll just horde it for the rotary apocalypse

That is exactly what i want to hear.
I will love you till you die (I hope you don't die) if you can let me have first dibs on the engine.
It shouldn't be long till I have 400$ cash money in hand but with so many curve ***** being thrown from my school since I last posted I've been drained.
I just signed myself up for as many hours as I can physically take on, so it shouldn't be long.

No problemo I haven't even listed it for sale. Its just been sitting there. My buddy had to move his shop and I took it off his hands. He pulled it out and told me it ran. It was just "loose". And he reccomended to rebuild it. He's a rotary guru and knows his stuff..

I only want to sell it cause my buddy is selling a twin dizzy that I want to get my hands on.. for my rx2... .

I hoped to learn how to rebuild one myself that's why I kept it... BUT luckily all my 12A's have great compression (knock on wood) so I haven't gotten around to it..

Just PM me like I said no rush... its just sitting. I'll try to snap some pics and give you a better discription I'm out of town right now. So yeah...
