I'll pre-empt Colin's response and tell you that it ain't gonna happen:

I was also reading some laws that state a vehicle converted from FWD to RWD must be engineered as a hand-crafted vehicle, and not just a modified vehicle. :-o That would make things nice and tricky!

Anything's possible if your cool with never being able to drive it on the road...

The majority of us, on the other hand, are very interested in the cars being streetable, hence the rotary and 4-cylinder skepticism... :wink:

Go the CB70 if you're not a Suzuki purist.

I dare say it'd be a damn sight easier and cheaper to get parts for. Not to mention there being a world of aftermarket goodies to suit it...

lol no it hasn't. I was just warned by my wife that i was to finish one project before I start another. And the 12.5sec 1/4 Ford Laser KE TX3 is doing quite fine thank you :P

1.8L DOHC Mazda BPT with Garrat GT2876RR Turbo and Turbonetics Goodies in, Just susing out new drive shafts for the LSD FWD Gearbox and have to wire up the LT-10s & X4 quad coil Microtech. Should be back on the Road hopefully the end of June. And at this year fastfours Jambo. Thus why you have seen my request for a rolling might boy shell so i can start hacking at it :P

Below is some pics of my current pride and joy :D

Thanks goes out to a mate of my for all the hard assembly of the gear and gearbox (Ross - GTXWGN) Looking to smash the Sports Compact FWD 1/4 Mile record this year, in his 323 Station Wagon.

So yes ROTABOY is still on the cards... 8)
