ive really been considering this conversion, keep throwing it up against a rotary, looking at costs and power etc....
do i spenjd a few hundred, dump the 1600(which even after a top end rebuild is shagged) and go for a 1.9 wasser boxxer which will be more reliable and have a bit more power to play with

or do i wait and go for the compact, light rotary engine?
