Engine Cover

here are the pics of my engine cover that was re-painted by my friend it looks great!! I took one before i went to work and 2 in the sun. unfortunately in the middle of the night the pinstriping shrunk and fell off but we are going to fix it

looks pretty sharp!!

 thank you :D

i wanna see ur engine topless!! u have a pic??

sure do

I did the best mod of all to my engine cover...  I promtly removed it within a week of owning the car.
 

 
Then for some silly reason unknown to even me, and w/no intention of ever putting it back on, I did this to it.
 

 

maybe you were bored or in a painting mood?

Looks Good
 
I like my engine cover Richard, I figured it was there so make it easier to clean up the oil drops while you are checking the oil LOL

somehow... i dont tihnk he means your engine

lol absolutely not!

lmao..i wanted to see the rotary engine... i honestly cant make ne sense of it.. expcept the alternator.. lol

lol ohhhhhhhhhhhhh blonde moment. well there's my tiny engine that mysteriously makes alot of power lol

i wouldnt look good with blonde hair.. lol

i wouldn't know

they make so much power because of the lack of moving parts.
 
a rotary engine is pretty much a crankshaft, and thats all.
so they can spin to really high rpms.
ive seen them go up to ~15,000rpm

i shift at 8,000 rpms sometimes 8500 rpms. it beeps at 9,000 rpms.  the rotary engine is definately unique. it's interesting how it works.

where does ur car redline?

The early rotory's, single 4bbl carb and little or no emissions installed(RX2's, 3's and 4's) were much easier to see, but like they said, it's a quite small, oval shaped package that produces the equivalent power of a 6 cylinder.
My first experience was an RX2, automatic, station wagon and I couldn't believe that anything above idle, from about 12-13k on, it just revved and pulled!  And an auto to boot!! But it also sucked up some fuel too though.
Drove the thing to Philadelphia and back to northern NJ on a parts trip for an MB diesel cyl head.  Not knowing anything about Wankel's at the time, I thought the thing was gonna let me sit every time I started it and this huge cloud of blue smoke poured out of the exhaust.
 
 

i redline at 9000rpms and the fastest i've gone is 143mph

Then I should be ashamed - I redline at 5800, and the fastest I've pushed is 95 on city streets. No tracks around here.

i haven't been to the track yet either so don't worry i did that speed on the highway
