Rotary-engined car owner are a rare breed.... total car nut I must say.... never I heard people talking about engine rebuilding with much passion and love like them.... think of them as an ideal boyfriend/husband

I'm not being sarcastic, I have 2 of them being my friend... and one of them own both RX7 and RX8... at first I ridiculed them, but after ridden in each, I beginning to understand...

We're not saying Rotaries are not good. It is just that you need to go through a lot to regularly maintain them compared to other types of car. Well, if you can withstand all the regular maintenance and the heavy fuel consumption, then it's okay to go for Rotary.

Rx-7 very fast get heated up too. Not suitable for our country hot weather. Better off in Japan or US

Yeah!! Gem of an engine.... the rev climb likes its on electric motor... that one I've experience on stock ones.... not the bridge-port type

Naturally I understand that my rotary owner friend says it worth the extra care and $$$.... if I got the extra $$$, I'd probably jump in the rotary wagon as well :biggrin:

p/s: would be great if I can see an rx-8 with 13B-REW in it :driver:
