Are you going to shake his hand when you find out, or are you going to be like "you shoulda done this instead". But anyways I did some research, did you know that first silvias where going to have rotary motors? There sister car was the Mazda Cosmo check it out on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Silvia

well...I was searching for the info for one of my design classes...for a particular assignment we are mimicking designers and their tendancies in creating something unrelated to what they originally designed.

I am in need of their names so that I can properly credit them when asked by my prof who the designer was that influenced me. I really enjoy the lines of the s15 and was hoping to use them. Thanks for the help, it has been an interesting search thus far and I'm finding out lots of stuff, but not their names ><.

i think you would change your mind if you got the chance to drive the triple rotary cosmo. the thing was great.

So that means you can drop a 30b rotary in a s11.
