thought this would be of interest to a few guys.. ive lost count of how many times ive seen,or been part of an argument (ok, debate..

) as to why a rotary cannot be fitted in a front wheel drive configuration..

met this guy at a club day, just goes to show what can be done if you put your mind to it.. that is a 13b fitted to a mazda mx6 front wheel drive..
not the prettiest setup ever, but it works..

a lot of work gone into that fit

why is the mx6 fwd, it looks like it should be rwd?

Hello Mr. Torque Steer, pleased to meet you

I'll never understand why you would want a super powerful FWD car however I have huge respect for the amount of work that went into that conversion.

I remember seeing a letter in SNS back in the day from a guy doing that very conversion, maybe not that exact car.

Hello Mr. Torque Steer, pleased to meet you

yeah, thats for sure!

i had a mx6 that i fitted with the kl-ze motor and jap-spec ecu, about 150kw on the flywheel, and that was torque steer galore, so i can just imagine this one..

but i thought he deserved 10 out of 10 for the effort though..
oh ja rat, all mk2 mx6's is front wheel drive..
