Rotary Powered Escort
I was out watching the North West Stages Rally in Blackpool last weekend and saw a red mk2 Escort with 'ROTARY POWERED' on the boot lid. I've found the guys website at Lindop Motorsport, but they don't give much away as to what box and stuff they use.
Has anyone heard about this, as if they use a Ford 'box I'd be interested to see about sticking a 13b in my Fez after the shit the zetec is kicking up.

Hate to admit it, but rotary's are very quick engine's and easy to get big power out of. They're everything but gutless.
But I still rather the good old piston lump

Theyre called Silverstone Autosport now.
hey specialise in the Mazda rotary, do a lot with the rx7's and 8's, engine rebuilds and big power. Think they like their jap cars, one of them has a scoob, there was an evo their too, seen a few supra's and a GTO.
Used to have the work on my MR2 done their.

the only problem with rotarys is it is a specialist job, requiring specialist tools and jigs to re-build them, and they do need re-built quite often. A mate of mine strippped a knackered one once and that was it in a pile of bits, never going back together
