It was but it wasn't that fast.

So, its about reliability and a good driving experience.

Rotary Reliability Pick one

Edited by One Epic Phail: 4/6/2014 4:06:10 AMit's okay buddy It's worth knowing if you ever decide to get your hands on an RX-8 or something, because a non molested RX-7 will be hard to find. Rotaries need more maintenance and care than your average engine.
-
10/10 will lol again.
-
The RX-8s are suppose to be decently reliable with proper maintenance of course.
-
I've seen a few people say that their RX-8's still needed new apex seals after 80K and that's with following maintenance routines. In my opinion I don't see the point of owning a dorito engine unless you just want the novelty of it. >Reliability is poop >Apex seals, apex seals everywhere >No torque >Need to rev the nuts off of it for any power >Their exhaust notes IMO aren't pleasant If I had an RX-7 though I'd deffo swap an LS1 with a possible procharger setup. Get the 100,000 mile reliability of a chevy small block in a nimble car.

Edited by Porsche 914: 4/6/2014 4:14:58 AMFrom what I read you just have to be extremely careful with maintenance. You just have to do a lot more with it. It's like taking care of a human.

Edited by One Epic Phail: 4/6/2014 3:54:47 AMThen swap out the doritos for a god tier LS1 procharger setup
-
Meh. I'd rather keep the rotary, but I'm just crazy.
