i had the wiring layed out, as you can tell. its a little small though. might have to put the other 3 housings i have on and make it a 6 rotor.

its a little crooked though, and i think the apexi seals are shot. you can see right thru the motor :rolleyes

well, if u can find some body to do a custom E-shaft for that 6 rotor of urs lol, again that 3 rotor S13 will be a killer, I was thinking about put my TII ported RE in an S13.. but didn't bother with the swap..too much trouble. but if u have seen vid of a tri rotor AE86. then u will want 1 too.I know i do.. just my .02 C

Actually, a 3-rotor gets a lot better fuel economy than a 2-rotor. The reason is, it actually produces enough torque to where you barely have to crack the throttle to get moving. A 2-rotor isn't as lucky.

There used to be a 2 rotor s13 in south florida. It actually lines up really well. The guy who owns it has since swapped in a rb25.

C, hey man, thought you were gonna call me saturday morning? (or was i supposed to call? if so im sorry) i tried to get your number but i wasnt near a computer and i'd gotten enough phone calls since friday afternoon so that it wasnt in my recieved call history anymore. ill be glad to meet you and show you my car, we just need to set a time and date. sorry if there was any misunderstanding.

i still stand by my claim that huntsville has more than its share of rediculous vehicles. i cant believe theres someone around here with a 2 rotor s13, thats just cool!
