does the miata even have rotary? Rotary engine is probably going to fit because its tiny. Why on earth would you do that? The other problem ur gonna run into is making ur car a rear drive, cause i've never heard of a rotary front wheel drive. Third, rotary engines are ****. They burn oil brand new and they're expensive. Plus they have no torque. I dont know man....if u do it, baller. I dont think it'd be worth the hassle unless u had a deal on everything.

oh.....my


first of all, rotaries come from rx7's. miatas have traditional style engines.

second, im sure it would be possible with enough money, but you would need custom mounts and convert to rwd, its just not worth the hassle

Anything can be done with the right amount of money. The only problem in your buddies situation is that miatas never ever came with rotary motors from the factory. Someone may have swapped one in but Mazda pretty much only manufactured the rotary for the RX series of car whether it be the RX-7 or RX-8. You'd be better off using something from the CRV and making it an awd car like they did in sport compact car mag with a gsr a few years back.

show him off so you can be the "smartest guy in the class" and then so someone else can burn you cuz you said something stupid in the future.
