Awfully quiet for a rotary. :?: Not much room under a roadster for the required pre silencers AND large muffler needed to keep them that quiet.

I've always thought fondly of a 13B-MSP swap but I would want it to sound like...



:)
Do you have more info on the swap or more videos?

Those are probably peripheral port motors. Pretty distintive sound!

Maybe the word is an east or northeast thing.

A "rotary" is a traffic circle. The three of us are powering through with stock engines -- two Solex 2Ls behind me in a stock 1600.

Yeah, rotary traffic circles are rare on the West Coast. I remember when they put one on Bainbridge Island years ago. Confused the hell out of the locals. They really make sense and work well once you understand 'em.
