Possibly, but its a lot of extra art work for a not paticularly exciting feature :P

while technically true, that's kind of the default or at least in the later years. I'm not sure if nsu or mazda tried 1 spark plug early on. The only other spark plug count I can think of is 3 and that was only for a race car engine.

Oh lord, a 1 plug rotary would be BAAAAD, it'd probably try to rotate backwards/explode to death I'd suspect :lol:

Well half the fun of owning a rotary is the ever constant threat of it exploding on you :mrgreen:

no it will run but only if it the lower plug. had a small electrical fire that burn two wires up, thanks to some jerk that had to steal the sub and amp. was only 17 and for some dam reason I didn't think to just make a new one with speaker wire. It ran like shit but I got home.

We're talking about "Fun" in the Dwarf Fortress sense of course (anyone who's played Dwarf Fortress will hopefully know what I mean)

Does a melted cat count? :P


Though I have rather less elephant related engine issues...

I unbolted my cat and bashed its insides out with a screwdriver, and now the RSPCA is after me :lol:
