But anyways, for that sorta money, that Scrotary should be doing 10's at the MOST.


Word.....

18 000 is a few dollars to spend on a rotar....it should be running quicker than that!

well when u consider that people can spend well over that on a gtr or wrx motor then 18000 on a rotary is possible, but a little over the top. He may have included the drive train in that to. he may have had lots of custom fabrication stuff done a well. turbo = couple grand new, intercooler couple grand, rebuild the motor 3-4000, custom maifolds, custom exhaust, fuel injection system, computer, piping, rebuilt gearbox, 9"diff or similar etc. all adds up i guess

engineering certs
labour
custom bodywork
and every other type of thing a rotary can suck from ur finances.
$18,000 can be stretched really far with some people ie 13secmini
but if someone pays people to do everything, it all adds up + labour
