any one ever hear of that new zeland made 4 rotor engine. I know there's a japanese rx7 that's got one, but this NZ one can get going... I have a video of it at the dragstrip. I'll see if i can post it if i find it. I just wanted to get yours guys impressions of it. I myself love rotaries. Four rotors are awesome and IMO, it can keep up with a 12 cyl. thats what it looks and sounds like. I have GOT to find this damn video!

two rotors are notorious for overheating

The conversion is 1 rotary liter converts to 2 piston liters...so the 1.3 is just like the 2.5/2.6L turbo motors (old Supra, Skyline). Heat is indeed a problem though...I'm guessing because the rotary motors are so much smaller than piston equivalents, meaning there's less volume and area for the coolant to work with.
And 
@ that video...that car could barely idle, but when it got moving it seriously sounded like the IMSA 787B...MEAN!!!
