[QUOTE="saru-kun, post: 1361929, member: 1524"] Ooh...how I wish I was in his (Hanjackal) position now, all poised ready to plunge into rotary ownership. Bweh... Anyway, since many more knowledgeable members here have answered most of the queries, I'll take you up on your 20B conversion inquiry. First things first, it IS NOT a drop-in procedure as the 20B triple rotary has different mounting points and therefore, would not fit onto the standard 13B-REW's subframe. A new subframe would have to be fabricated and if done correctly with sound engineering principles it would cost...ALOT. Even when you manage to stuff the damn thing in, you will kiss your 50/50 weight distribution (partly the reason why FD's and FC's are superb handling chassis's) out the window as there is extra weight in front of the car. REAmemiya got around that weight distribution problem (for theri GT300 race machine) by shoving the bloody triple-rotor as deep as it can go into the middle of the car. If you were to do that, more fabrication research and COSTS. And last but not least, a triple rotor generates a massive amount of power if it is turbocharged, somewhere close to the region of 500ps and counting, which in turn makes it a futile exercise in going straight, or even going at all if you do not have tyres to match (read: at the very least, semi slicks...which won't be too happy in wet conditions). Oh and start thinking about new gearboxes and drivetrain ancillaries pretty often too ^^ All said and done, you could go check out Pettit Racing's Banzai conversion, a triple rotary conversion in a package, though I'm not sure if they do it anymore... I'm sorry if I have bored anyone...haven't posted in awhile, couldn't help myself from banging away at the keyboard >.< My apologies. Please correct me if I've given any wrong information. Cheers PS: the clear covered headlights that you were inquiring too, they're called sleek headlight kits... [/QUOTE]
