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..

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..
