I posted this message in the super section and have gotten no response. I have heard about a bug that was converted to a rotary engine, supposedly very fast. Has anyone heard of this?

Kennedy Engineered Products makes adaptor plates that will allow 12A, and 13B rotary engines to a VW transaxle. I have seen quite a few buggies with the conversion. VERY FAST.
I have not seen but one full bodied sedan with the conversion. It looks promising.

Mazda does not make new parts (internal) for their old (12A, 13B) rotary engines any more. Parts are expensive, beware.
