Hi guys,
This is my first rotary powered car. I live in Australia in a smallish town called Cairns, in Queensland for those of you playing at home, and I have a couple of completely n00bish questions to ask you but I can't find them anywhere. First off: How many miles/kilometres am I going to get out of an engine before it needs to be rebuilt? or replaced? Second is approximately how long time wise am I going to get out of the engine before I need a rebuild or a new one. I'm wondering if I'm better off selling it now and just buying a boinger or if I'm going to get some decent mileage out of it before I need a rebuild :P My main problem is that there is no such thing as a specialist rotary mechanic in this town, so any work would have to be done by me, I have helped a friend rebuild a rotary before, but I can't honestly remember where the parts came from. So any help as to an aussie supplier of rebuild kits would be helpful.

Thank you

 

lucky you.
if any of them so called "rotary specialist" came near my car i would kick their ***.


seriously, do the work yourself, its not that hard.

 

As for answering your questions, I've got one pushing near 300K (Miles), so if you take care of them, they'll take care of you for quite some time.
