There's a gent here in Columbus, Ohio who put a Mazda Rotary in a battered 
Frogeye Sprite, then set up Nitrous Oxide injection on it!  (Apparently 
someone who believes in the "Too Much is Never Enough" school of automotive 
design.)  It wasn't running when I saw it at the British Car Show at the 
Continent (carb was being serviced), but he claimed that it was indecently 
fast, if you could keep the rear tyres connected to the pavement!
