Look for the Project X300 Thread for the Rotrex info.

I'm just jealous...... We saw the Rotrex last year and thought it was very cool...... it promises to be the Holy Grail..... cross between a turbo and blower.....

The 62 probably costs more tha 100whp to run.... it is a hunk on the front of that engine...... hence the comment about "little" had to be challenged.

I am more than a little interested in the Rotrex after a proper tune is on it....... the amazing thing about MSFITOY is that Sid keeps doing more and more stuff to it but it never looks over busy or Gaudy....if I tried it it would look like a Jason Pollack painting

The whole efficiency of the Eaton's has never thrilled me.. but I've always like the power delivery. The Rotrex project sounds fantastic.. I'll definatley keep an eye on it..

Sid's car is just sill in how simply, yet highly, modified it is.. I absolutely love it... Your car's now slowch there Bob.. : - )

Yea I know how you feel. I just modded my taillights so the [not-otherwise able to switch them] rear fogs are the brake lights. I like the top lens as it is a more focused beam, not diffuse like the lower running light.
