Message: <blockquote data-quote="elsm80" data-source="post: 1875805" data-attributes="member: 25343">Hmmm....I beg to differ, I reckon putting a rotary into an Ae86 is not entirely just for the power potential.Please keep in mind that a rotary engine is a very compact powerplant. Its really is tiny compared to a straight six or even a 4 potter.This allows the engine to be placed nearer to the car's centre of gravity and thus making the car a whole lot more well balanced. Having your engine behind your front axle definitely offers a lot more handling potential and prowess.A rotary engine's main benefits to the RX is not really about its power output potential but more likely the gain in handling benefits.An RX was never designed for letting it rear slide around in oversteer heroics. It is a focused and precise machine meant to deliver sweet all round track handling. I am sure as most enthusiasts would know that a car with plenty of on track grip will never really like sliding around as its fundamentals were designed to offer as much grip as possible.Its like asking a rottweiler to mew.I've also noticed that in D1, a lot more points are given to FCs that are able to sustain drift although their angles whilst drifting may not be as extreme as other car platforms. This I believe is from the fact that the D1 judges (Japs Included) understand the dynamics shared as above. So making a car that hates being sideways actually go sideways is a point greatly understood and appreciated.Btw, I saw Kazama san of D1 fame actually struggling harder to drift an FC than any other car he was given to drive in Shah Alam. This includes the FD. He actually hit the tire walls due to the low polar gravity point of the FC. In another words, an FC is pretty non-user friendly when it exceeds its grip limits around bends. The FC hangs on tights in a corner but when the chassis actually bites back; it bites back hard!I've tired it first hand believe me....</blockquote>
