Ernie Fixmer/Rotora 240 (Old PHOTOS)

damn look at the intensity in those eyes on the last photo....

a little sleepy!!!....that was stuff done before the first D1. Now many things have changed. I currently have been setting up a Right hand drive 180sx with S15 front end. the most significant and obvious difference has to be the rear solid metal flarework, and flared front S15 fenders. Rear is 60mm per side and front is 45mm per side over stock. We already debuted the car at the Formula D in Atlanta and also used it at the $10,000 shootout at Laguna Seca. We (Team Rotora) have currently replaced 3 transmissions in this car to date, due to a minor clutch problem that has since been worked out. This car has many more differences over the first Chassis projects. So many I will have to list them later in future posts. Hope to see some ppls from this board at future drift events. The next scheduled appearance is at Formula D in Houston, Texas. See you all there, Ernie

[pokeraddict86]

Ernie = Ernie Fixmer's name on these boards

[Ernie]

well its funny you should ask what happened....seems nobody cares when the cars broke. Seems ppl are more interested in the cars that run and perform at the events... First the engine crapped the day before, (rod Bearing), then in qualifying the transmission broke. You lose out on a lot when the car does not perform. It takes a while to work out the bugs when going up in the horsepower numbers. I think we are on the right track though and its only a matter of time before things start to get better.

I will talk to Ken, but its up to him whether he posts or not...

Damn ernie, why's everyone wanting u to get gushi on here? I'm sure if he wanted to he'd be on here too. I think thats kinda rude, seems like people are "Fixmer? Fixmer who? Where's Gushi" kinda the same as people calling my house asking for my friends, a bit impolite if u ask me. But oh well. Hopefully sooner than later we'll have all you D1 Profs on here.
