I dunno about anyone else...but when I started reading this I could smell something FISHY. turbo rotory Volvo thats stock? ok, maybe I just havn't heard of this one. relined at 45mph? nope, I can do 55 in my civic. and a shock (strut maybe?) somhow breaking and cracking the block? I realize I'm not THAT smart, esp about cars...but this doesn't make sense.

he sent me an email saying it was a motor swap, which is possible. but if someone is going to go through the trouble of an engine swap (especially an engine that didn't originally go in the car) i wouldn't swap a rotary. i've heard of too many reliability issues with them
