My (PHILIP SOHN) Rotary cars...
 

I been a rotary car fan since 1997. Since then I think I went thru quite a few rotary cars..

I started off with this one: 1991 RX-7 convertible

Then I got my First FD in 1999 and started to modify. Here is a picture in 2003 after I got it all painted and such: 1993 Black Base FD

Then Bought and sold 3 more FDs until I found my MB touring FD. And here it is how it sits today..

And about a year ago, I picked up an 1973 RX-2 to restore.. which now has a 12A from a 1st gen and 5 speed gear box. Runs like a champ!

And about 6 months ago, I've decided to replace my daily and get an 2004 Lightning Yellow RX-8. This car is now my daily and future track car..

And I'm in a process of completely re-building my 1993 Black Base RX-7.. It will be done from inside out.. including rare items such as Spirit R seats, Spirit R clusters, Steering wheel, Feed REAL Type 2R bumper, Engine, turbo, etc. etc..

Well, hope this explains few things about me and hope to see some of you come to this years DGRR 2008..

This year I'll be giving away almost $3000 worth of mechandise and expecting well over 200 people! Should be loads of fun and you'll see something new.

I'm also offering Stand alone ECU tuning class this year at the DGRR 2008.

For More info: www.DealsGapRotaryRally.com

well, hopefully i'll make DGRR 2009 after i get back from afghanistan. and if my FD runs haha. its gonna be a long drive from Canada though

Sweet cars - the only one you got me beat on is the FD and RX2 - I've yet to cross over into FD world... skipped right over it with the 8.


So the tuning class is a go then? Where do I sign up?

You just made me feel old Phil, I've been around the rotary scene since 1991 because of Robert from RotaryShack...lol..

Man I wish I had money to "burn" lol. Nice collection.

I love your FD... I´ve seen pics 1000000 times and never knew was yours :)

Thanks Guys!

Kai, I wished I had gotten into Rotary earlier... Funny thing is that I got into an arguement with my best friend about how no such engine existed back in early 90s... He had an 84 RX7.

Once I knew what Rotary Engine was, I apologized to him!! LOL!

Phil is a true rotary enthusiast. It is very obvious if you have ever been to his house... lol!

LOL!! I think my wife wants to move so I have to sell all the junk I have:) We'll see in June if I'm moving or not..

The reason to move is to have more room so you can accumulate more junk. :rofl:

We I get an FD, I want a Montego Blue one. I just love that color...I even debated on painting my FB Montego Blue, but that might look weird :P

well you know, unless hes sold it, David has a MB roller for sale.

Yeah, I have seen that...Its a nice start, but as a broke college student, an FD isn't in my near future :( But my Turbo FB cheers me up :)

Great looking collection Phil, but my favorite is the RX-2

I think the largest rotary event in US history will be Phil's driveway when he cleans out the garage of all his extra parts.
