RST Engines are not cheap.
RX7/8 Me and spud discussed this whilst on one of his test drives.. Would be gr8, may need a HUGE flashing light to warn of engine over speed as you won't hear the warning buzzer TT

A mate of mine who is a Citroen (spit) specialist is considering building a Haynes roadster but using a Citroen 1.6 HDI diesel engine. Apparently the Suzuki Vitara 4X4 box is a straight fit .

Definitely a rotary wankel engine, Rx8 version. 230hp out the box, 10k red line, 6 speed box, lsd, small and light. Rx8 because it has the uprated oil vanes, had one for a while and ran 50k no problem while using hardly any oil. Not much torque but you don't really need it in such a light car.
Saturn cant afford it yet but as soon as we can it will be getting built. Just need to find a cheap right off, now they are nearly 8 years old shouldn't be too bad. In fact there is a fair few there on e-bay, bargains will be there to be had: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2004-MAZDA-RX-... tem2a0888f819 AndyH.....

i have got a new engine and gearbox sitting in my shed ready to go in over winter. its all still top secret at the moment but lets just say its not run of the mill and will produce a lot more power than a tuned duratec for a fair bit less money

Now we've mentioned the Rx-8 TT we are just about to start the Wankel based Rx8 based on the Nemesis 13B which has the upgraded oil vanes and is more reliable than the Rx7 version. The cars will have the stock 231bhp with a 6 speed box and lsd and due to the compact and lightness of the engine we are aiming for a target weight of 500kg with the upgraded chassis to 2mm wall thickness for extra strength and rigidity. First one is planned to be on the road for end of September and will be called the "Saturn Roadster RW460" as in 460bhp / Tonne.
Cant Wait....AndyH
