Why not the 230 version ?
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Well IT was Just a decission in moment.
Friend of mine called me he had a runing Rx8 that engine is that he dont need. He is going about to put 1jz Toyota 3.0 turbo charged engine.
So I made some research about wankl rotary engine and do IT is.
Friend of mine had a Rx7 with all most 300.000 km on clock with no engine rebuild or damaged.
Those rotary engines need to be care with special way.

Looking forward to news on this.
I have often considered a 231 (you also get the 6 speed box if you buy the whole car).
Have you had a compression test done on your engine?

190 bhp will be more than enough , looks a great install , light weight engine should be fun
