Any feed
back or comments are greatly appreciated.

The regular Mazda 13B rotary would be too heavy at 320 pounds firewall
forward.
Even a one rotor version would be marginally too heavy. Best to stick with the
VW much cheaper and quicker.

Moller claims to have a light weight rotary engine but I don't think it
will ever go into production. People on here are working on a light weight
version of the one rotor Mazda with aluminum end housings but that could
be some time away.

See Paul, you aren't a wankel freak thinking that it is the answer for
everyone.

Thanks Hans. I think :-)
