Don't think I've seen this one posted before. Not a fan of conversions, but this one is interesting, and if could be made to run would likely be lots of fun.

Re: Fiat Spider Mazda rotary conversion
I did rudimentary research into installing the rotary twin turbo into one of my Spiders. After looking at the low reliability, low torque, low fuel economy and high oil use of the rotary, I scrapped the idea. It is interesting that he is so close to getting it road ready but isn't finishing it. What does that tell you?

Re: Fiat Spider Mazda rotary conversion
There was also one in the Seattle area about a year ago that was for sale. Interesting concept but what's the point?
