Random Snap>> Rotary Powered Z3

Does anybody remember this car build by Gluck Tuning Garage?

Funny thing is I was just listening to a mix tape made by Asher Roth when a good friend of mine called me up and said he just bought a Z3. Because it is Mazda month I immediately remembered this rotary powered Z3 and I went looking for a picture of the car. I know it's not the best picture but you can clearly see the 13B rotary engine.

Gluck went all out on this car and fabricated a custom bodykit with Honda Odyssey headlights. The bodykit was also needed to house the massive Volk TE37 wheels, they measure 19"x8.5 on the front and 19"x9.5 in the rear.

But the most interesting about this car is off course the 13b engine. It's power output has been set on a hefty 435bhp thanks to To4s turbo amongst other things. How cool is that?

I remembered reading this about on Super Street, and got to say it was an awesome thing. Can't really describe how cool the car is. Somebody should do another rotary swap post right away, about the Watanabe Service 13B powered Subaru or Dyson Rotary's 20B powered 350Z. I'm sure most of us would be interested in that as well.....

GLuck also built a F20C turbo'd Mercedes C-Class

I like it!! Nice to see people thinking outside of the square when it comes to engine swaps. Those TE37s look right at home!! On a BMW.

Honda Odyssey headlights in the original Z3 casing?? Now that's what I call custom. Mad!!



Love them European spec TE37s.
