What about a RX7 engine, those rotary engines are very light and rev very high. If you were to get the turbo rotary 1.3L it should provide enough power to really make a seven fly. The only problem is you have to make room for the inner cooler and other crap, but rotaries are very small. Anyone ever do this??

Could you tell me more about the Omatic, never heard of them. just did a search and found this on maxpower "How does 600bhp per tonne sound? Well that's exactly what you get when you strap yourself in the new Lotus 7-style Omatic. Powered by the Honda S2000's 240bhp lump this thing is a real sports bike killer. But fear not if that sounds a bit of a handful, there's a 1.6-litre Vauxhall engine in the range, which starts at £9000. " wow, now thats a car. Could you point me to some info on Omatic, cant find there web site thanks

I am looking at putting together a 7 and am wondering what type of engine i would use. I know the ford's are very big with the 7 but i am thinking along the lines of a Honda. They rev higher and put out more power per liter. The engine I’m looking into is the B16A (1.6L 160hp) but then I run into the problem of trannies. Honda does not have a rear wheel drive car (S2000 is to new to steal a tranny out of). So is this just a pipe dream or has some one done this already? Or is someone thinking about it? Thanks
