It'd be unique, reasonably quick, and wouldn't stress it much. Just would sound like a bucket of fail.

I generally don't like how 4 cylinders sound. There are some that sound nice but that usually involves ITBs and straight pipes.
Ported 13B or any sort of American V8 > that in terms of sound. And that's why one of the two would get the nod from me.

K20s don't have a sound that pleases my ears, and I guess not Rotary Junkie's either. Also, it's a ridiculous swap to being with. The rotary is a perfectly good engine, I don't see why people hate on them so much. It's the turbo models, and especially the sequential turbo system on the FDs that give rotaries a bad rap.
I like this thing. The engine sounds weird, but I like it. Plus, I took the door panel off earlier to look at the god awful stock speakers, and I have to say the interior is much more solidly built than I expected from a 1991 car. Much better quality than my Civic, which itself was pretty satisfying. For example, the climate control/vent/radio surround thing isn't a fragile piece of plastic, it's a damn solid chunk of rubber, or at least it looks and feels like it. The knobby things on the side of the gauge pod have rubber finger grips, not the stupid slippery plastic texturing you see on so many cars these days, like my mom's new Corolla. There is cheap flimsy plastic, don't get me wrong, but it seems to be where it should be for the most part.

That was actually a very active member who's username was Miata13b. It was apparantly a well known car, even when it met rear end of a truck in a rathe runfortunate incident.
I have been waiting so long to use that picture. Anyway, wow. Rotaries horrify me. I want one.
Do they make kit to put 13B into Miata? If so, I now have a dream.
Where is he now...

I learned two things tonight.
First of all, the front end of my car is about a foot longer than I thought it was. Secondly, the more parking lot light poles you snow drift around the higher the likelyhood of you hitting one of them. Thankfully I was going slow, and Mazda makes a great flexible front bumper cover. Saved me the hassle of knocking the ice off the front.

How long have you had that car? Two weeks?
- 3,008
- You're crazy if you think
- I can afford either of these.
Keef, you're psychic and didn't even know it
What's the damage? Any scrapes or what?

Hey I wacked a guard rail when I still had my 30 day tags then less than a month after getting the body work fixed and respraying the car championship white my left fender had a taste of the same thing. Not to mention numerous mishaps here and there. But look at me now, I turned out just fine
