there was one getting built here in perth
dont know whats happened to it though.
apparently u have to cut a sizable proportion of the trans tunnel to get half decent handling
right. some of you may think this is not a smart idea, some of you may think otherwise.
for now i'm just looking for opinions as i don't even have the sprinter on the road yet, but i haven't really heard much at all about this type of conversion.
so any comments, tips or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

i can see the benefit of just going out and buying a mazda, but i'd much rather just work with what i have at the moment. my sprinter is actually sitting in my mate's front yard with two rx-4s, two rx-7s, and rx-3, another rolla and an excel of all things lol
i would work a 4ac b4 a put a rotory in one hahahah
rotary ae86 would make a good drag car
I remember seeing a 'toyrota' as it was called, at a car show in Ballina a few years back.... was a sedan model with a 13B..... wasnt a street car though.
i think rotarolla is a cool word too
There was a turbo 13B powered 86 in the 18th Edition of Speed, guy lives in SA and its got 220kW at the wheels. Pretty crazy ride
Wrong, and right, you can use the same tunnel, the engine has to be mounted a bit forward. I have driven it, steering is heavy(with the commodore brakes and stuff) but it doesn't feel that bad.
There's one in sydney(13bts4), built by pac, no rego.
Also they are not that lite, everyone seems to forget that the gearbox counts too.
If anyone needs one engineered aproved in sydney, let me know (you still have to follow the rta guidline's)
Although i would prefer a c18 or sr20 det's for a daily driven car
13bturbo would be a wicked idea
i have thort about it at times but its not gunna happen
