Taz_Rx Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Do you want your car to be a well set up, well balanced powerful streeter/track car or a bohemath thats only any good for burnouts!? :hmm: In my mind theres no discussion on the options,.....but hey, I've already been bitten by the rotor bug! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICKYG Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Well i want a quick street/burnout car.. ive been bittin by the rotor bug to I LOVE THEM but all my mates reckon go v6 coz it will be more reliable, thats why i want opinons from u guys... love ya rx4 :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Go the rotor option, Nothing beats the sound of a 13b PP at idle and the noise at full song is unbelievable. You know you want to. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 ^^^^^^^^ very true... but, if its a burnout/street car your going to be flogging the pants off it and things will break! I would go the commo motor mainly because there dime a dozen, you break it you get another one. If your planning on driving this daily then the rotor is the way to go, no doubt about it.

love ke70 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 rotors are reliable these days. just make sure they are tuned well so they don't pre ignite or whatever it is rotors do and you shoudlnt have any problems ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickZ Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I don't know how many of the people have owned a v6 rolla that have commented, but i use mine as a daily driver and its not as bad as everybody makes out, Just upgrade springs and shocks in the front. Mine is also standard height with 13" standard tires, Its happy cornering at 110kmh on the highway and being in tassie all the roads are fun cornering. Prob better fuel economy than a rotor uses less fuel than my 20V rolla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwarf Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) It's on the internet so it must be true. Mate, do what YOU want to do. It's not what you've got, it's what you do with it. Edited March 9, 2007 by Redwarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doityourself Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I say go the chicken cooker, Umm I mean the rotor. Just to be different I would look for a 10A or 12A, you'd have a better chance of getting it legal with a 10A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelpd96 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) Well I don't know if it will make any difference but we have just bolted the complete VS Commodore K-Frame, suspension and engine into a KE55 with little difficulty needed to move a couple of bolts but apart from that straight in.

OBSCENE Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 rotary would be able to be street reg, v6 wont be ( well, in qld anyway ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
