@@PetesWorkshop I have known 3 bolwells, one was being built that had a 186 with 3 carbs about 1975, one was a track day car in the 1990s and the other had a 289 Ford engine and that went really well and the person spend a lot of time getting to a better car to drive. I saw a UA-cam vid on the Bolwell brothers and if you ever sell then please consider contacting them as they do buy cars back. That Mazda engine is the modern day grunt donk I guess.
@@adelaideinvigilation5230 the original owner (I am the 2nd owner) was very interested in power to weight and center of gravity. The rotary engine fits the bill for sure. He was planning on supercharging it too but I won’t be doing that. 176kw and ~800kg should work well.
Job well done. Looks great.
You have a great team there! Anything Bolwell always catches my eye, but this is the first time I have seen this 1.5 year old video.
nice job and very cool car, is there any mk7 for sale that you know of?
Whats the engine?
Mazda RX8. Never been a rotary fan but hey, it runs and it fits so I’ll give it a go.

@@PetesWorkshop Power to weight and weight distribution (how far back and how low) are all important to me too!
