Well, I cracked a front Iron on the motor in November from detonating/pre-igniting for about two months which from some large carbon build up that was heating up. The motor had lasted over 40,000 miles of pretty hard abuse so I was not at all mad "especially considering it was my first rotary motor I built" and at first I was not sure that I was going to build it back up. Instead buy a 3rd gen to put all my "stuff" in, so I would have a nicer car. The 3rd gen thing did not exactly play out like I wanted it to, and unfortunately I got the itch so I started ordering more "stuff" to build the motor back up stronger and to have MORE POWER! I have received my porting tools in the mail today, so I decided to give my throttle body a try. I still need to polish it but the shape I think is good enough. Here are the before and after shots. I also sent my front and rear counter weight out to CLR motorsports to have them balance the rotating assembly and also scallop and lighten some low compression S4 rotors. Supposedly with the modified low compression rotors they will be able to handle 23-25 lbs of boost on pump gas with my T-66 turbo with a .98 hot side. Here are what the rotors will look like. I have also done some work to the my custom engine mount that has to be used to mount the 13b-rew into a 1st gen. I will get some pics of it up soon. I am also waiting for my porting templates for my intake and exhaust ports to come in so I can start porting them.

That rotor would make a slick rotor clock

Thanks for the complements guys! Well I removed the entire front harness from the inside and under the hood of the car. Then I started weeding out the infidels. I finally removed all the unnecessary stuff, all that is left is the fuse block, blinkers, lights, front wipers, windows, mirrors, fuel sending unit, gas door, hatch opener, and a couple more wires for the cluster. And here is the pile(s) of crap that I took out, I need to weigh it for sh!ts and giggles. Tomorrow I hope to get the engine bay prepped for painting it (extensive cleaning, grinding, and bondoing unnecessary holes). I still need to figure out what to paint the engine bay, I am thinking light silver or maybe even try to get my out side color of paint in a rattle can.
