Thank you Rotary addiction

 

I hope you make it, it sounds like something I'd do.

 

Testing who I am, I'm not sterling mazda.

 

That is one long run-on sentence. I think you will make it just keep the revs up and dont slow down.

 

haha i did the exact same thing, same rotor too, i frove on it for about a month, I had some crazy back fires, that actually left, oil and gas on the lid of my air cleaner, Yea try to keep the revs as high as possiable, gas milage is just insanely bad, good luck man, should be a fun/exciting/scarey trip.

 

Jeez take a breath while you are typing.

You should be alright, i drove about 30 miles home on a blown rotor, wasn't too bad.

I drove on many occasions without real plates and insurance. The key is not to attract attention so don't do anything wrong. Drive the speed limit and put some fake plates on. A car with no plates is a lot more noticeable and a car with them.

 

i had a 86 and i ran it on 1 rotor for about 2K miles, never fucked up , sold it befor it could i guess

 

I almost drove mine the same distance on #2, but also had a flooding problem. Couldnt start it up the next day.

 

Be careful with the clutch. You will likely wear it down a lot by slipping it to get it moving. If you have to keep it at 3000rpm, you will be slipping the clutch A LOT. Anyway, good luck.

BTW, periods and commas are great in paragraphs. I'm not flaming either, so don't take this the wrong way. It was just hard to read your post.

 

man, we got some rookies in here. haha, i drove my car on one rotor for almost 4,000 miles, started up everyday, i had to pump the gas almost 80 times to get it to fire, and keep on the gas the whole time, but hey, it got me where i needed to go. just learn how to use the choke, liek when you come up to stop signs just hold it out and you should be fine. its not that much fun driving tho, like 0-60 in about 18 seconds, but hey, i took my motor over 7,000 rpms every day like that, and it handled it just fine. so i wouldlnt be too worried about a couple hundered miles. have fun with the 30hp motor

 

Nice! Thought i was the only "half" a rotor head out there. Choke **** does come in handy too lol.

 

i lost my 1st rotor on the way home from work one day. i was doing fine until i had to stop at a redlight and it died. the light changed from red to green twice before i got it started. then i had to drive up a mountain. like snakes said, you have a lot of fun with a 30 hp engine. i just kept it in 2nd and flored it the whole way up. the next day i drove it 40 miles to have it rebuilt. lots of fun and a great experience. lets see a piston engine drive at all with a blown engine!

 

I know from experience that slipping the clutch too much wears it down fast. My friend had a Ford Escort, he would always rev it to 3000 rpm and keep it there on takeoff. His clutch lasted 5 months. It was new when he bought the car.

 

i myself find it much easy to drive a first gen on one rotor than to drive a second gen on one rotor... second gen are allmost impossiable to drive on one rotor... first gen... easy done.. my 03 cents..(2 cents with a 1 cent tax) :-)

 

So has anyone heard from rotary addiction?
