Some time back, someone had a thread or mentioned a kid in the Netherlands building a 4-rotor Mazda.
I've been watching it since then, here:

Really an epic build, on par with the guy who built a flawless Countach replica in his basement (http://jalopnik.com/5069251/exclusive-i-am-the-guy-with-a-lamborghini-in-the-basement (http://jalopnik.com/5069251/exclusive-i-am-the-guy-with-a-lamborghini-in-the-basement)), or the guy who built a replica works boardtrack racer (http://flashbackfab.com/excelsior-project-paul-brodie/ (http://flashbackfab.com/excelsior-project-paul-brodie/))
Anyway, he recently assembled the engine:

Go check the thread out, it's a really astonishing build.
I was following it to but had lost the link then forgot bout it.. nice... truly a work of art..
Been following this as well. Top notch work!
That is some crazy DIY engineering work there. Cool thread.
Jeebus.
Totally OCD on cocaine.
Oh he finsihed?! wow

Well, not *finished*, but it's getting close. [beer]
you just wasted 3 hrs of my time reading EVERY SINGLE POST that he wrote.
[bang]
Bravo to this kid indeed. 3+ rotor engine noises send tingles up my spine. I recommend youtubing the Mazda Furai and the 787B.
Damn, I'd seen something shiny and forgotten all about it... talk about taking DIY to the next level. [thumbsup]
It lives!
How about that throttle response! INSANE!!

That's F1 league.

That's so cool, I've got to go back and see the rest of the build thread.
Thanks ML for finding that!
Still my favorite. [evil]

I wish it weren't so insanely expensive to build a multi rotor. I'd really like to do one.
Now I really miss my Rx4 and series 4 turbo...
Cannot imagine trying to drive that 6 rotor....
I wanted to try to get a 20b into a series 8...
The good old days. ..

Sounds neato at idle too.

5000cfm carb on the back of that thing? ;D
Also, with it mounted at the back like that, wouldn't the "cylinders" up front be kinda starved for fuel?
