When DIY goes to the next level

There's something about a good DIY build thread that makes you ponder whether or not you could do something, and then on how you would do it.  It's why I got into frankensteining Monsters together in my garage, the fact that I can take things that aren't useful on their own and make them into a thing of art and function just gives me an amazing feeling of satisfaction.  But sometimes you stumble across a build thread that makes you go, "Holy make the beast with two backs."

Of all of the DIY projects I've ever pondered, building a 4-rotor Wankel engine has never even crossed my mind and is a reminder of how far I can still go.

Wonder if that'll fit in my Z.  I'll bet that makes some nice power!

I've heard of three rotor setups before but damn.

Awesome
