A 20b would be fun. I'm on the fence about what to do. There's still some value left in it, but there really isn't anything I want. Right now the thinking is run it into the ground. Long term plan is to end up about 6-7 years from now with a paid off car in good shape. Maybe retire the 8 to part-time duty in a couple of years and make it a project car. Who knows.
BTW - the wheat beer came out great! Precious little left though, as I have to send a 12 pack off to a family event at the end of the month. Next up - steam beer - if the weather ever warms up!

would be another option. no idea what kind of pricing they would give you but they specialize in tuning rotary engines.

My car is going into the shop this week to repair the damage from when I decided to hit a small tree. Hopefully by the time I get it back my exhaust will be here.
