Four Wheel Profiling: Burchell Bros. – Part 1
Paul: “A couple of things attracted me to the car back in 1993 - I was impressed with the handling and the power-to- weight ratio provided by the rotary (kind of ironic, isn’t it!), and I must admit the styling, especially back then, knocked me out. I still think it is one of the best looking cars out there. Also, the fact that it had only two seats was a factor. I had previously owned a Camaro, and I remember thinking that no one could bitch about how small the rear seats were in the RX7! Those attributes remain my favourite reasons for holding on to the car, only now it has a whole lot more power and rumbles like no rotary can. I’ve even been pulled over by the men in blue just so they could check it out.”
The original 13B TT rotary engine and transmission were swapped out in favour of a GM LS3 6.2 litre V8 (of Corvette fame) crate engine and new Tremec TR 6060 six-speed at Markham Auto. The installation was aided with a kit from Hinson Supercars that included the mounting cradle, radiator, aluminum driveshaft, headers, etc. The stock GM clutch was ditched in favour of a Centreforce unit. Paul kept the original 8″ differential with a final drive of 4.07:1. The 3.5″ exhaust was custom fitted at a local shop. He hasn’t dyno’d it yet, but the LS3 is rated at around 430 hp at the flywheel.  Due to its all aluminum construction, the LS3 gives better power to weight ratio than the stock 13B rotory. The engine is a tight fit (the battery resides behind the passenger seat) and he had to cut out some underhood bracing to let the hood (which remains stock) fully close.
Starting from the ground up, Paul replaced the stock wheels with BBS RGR rims, size 18×8’s up front and 18×9’s at the rear.  He originally looked at 18×10’s for the back, but was advised that with the wider tires the wheels could accomodate, they would probably rub the fenders and he was trying to avoid modifying the body (one of the objectives of this build was to try and keep the car as stock-looking as possible). Tires are Michelin Pilot PS2’s, 225/40R 18’s in the front and 255/35R 18’s out back.
