Quick tip. Most rotary engines use a pair of plugs per rotor. How many pairs of plugs does yours have?

DriftFB

your friend says 2...
you say 3...
I say use the search button

and when referring to the engine its rotar. Rotors are in the brakes.

who says ROTAR? Its ROTOR. Go see for yourself http://www.mazda.com/history/rotary/

Are you going to take that from him DriftFB? You have three times as many posts as he does. Kids...they just don't respect their elders. I on the otherhand, am listening... should I put some special JDM air in my tires? Do I really need spark plugs, or can I just stick bubble gum in the holes? Motor oil...motor oil...I don't need no stinking motor oil, huh?

Looks like you crapped out, to speak in your language.

If you wanna start confusing people with the "rotar" go ahead.

Actually they are not rotors or rotars, they are hampster wheels and there are two of them. And RX-7s use four hampster's so two can be resting while the other two are running. The top two plugs spark the hampster's butts to keep them running and the bottom two are fakes to make the engine look more powerful. Found all this information with the search button, that ultimate source of reliable information.

Yeah they are "rotors" and no "rotars". But getting back to the initial post, all FB's, FC's, and FD's came with 2-Rotor Wankels. The only production that came with a factory 3-Rotor was the Cosmo

Exactly, I just didn't want to spoil it for him. Rotors sound cool and high tech

i have 2 triangle things

My mistake, I always use rotar because I am thinking of the rotary engine, not the rotory engine.

What the hell are you talking about? The guy corrected me, he wasn't rude or disrespectful. What do posts have to do with anything? It means I have talked more on the internet, not that I am any smarter.

And what is with the next part? Have I ever made a comment about JDM anything? When have I ever talked about any of this stuff? What is your deal that you come in here and start getting on my case? "Looks like I crapped out, to speak my language?" I have never said those words, are you getting me confused with FBDrift, or DriftingFB whatever that other guys name is? And if you are talking to me, sorry I didn't reply instantly, I have other things to do in life besides monitoring this ONE thread on Rx club.

I have never seen or spoken with you before, so I don't know what your problem with me is, but I suggest the next time you feel like acting like a jackass you have some valid points.

I don't know about you guys, but I have a six banger... or maybe its four... Wait.. I'm so confused. Can another hick come up and ask me how many cylinders my car has?!?!?!?!?!

Anyway. I have a 1.15 liter 2 rotor wankel engine in my car. Its what first gens come with. The GSL-SE's come with a 1.3 liter 2 rotor wankel engine. Its amazing stuff. Truly... truly... amazing.

Yep, its a 2 rotor. Oh ya, it is amazing when people ask "Is it a v6" and you're are like no man, its got two triangles.

teamzzyzx

Glad you didn't take offence to the correction. I wasn't tryin to be an *** or anyting. Some people on here get WAY too touchy if corrected

Yeh, like I was saying, four hampsters.

FYI, the small furry rodent is a HAMSTER. As in the Deutsche verb hamstern, to hoard.

DriftFB

Yeah, no offense taken, you even had the link to back you up, so you shut down my rotar arguement pretty quick.

Any idea what was with that other guy though? Was he trying mo make a joke? He rubbed me the wrong way.

I wasn't trying to rip you, just guys like you: spreaders of misinformation! If you don't know then don't volunteer what you think your buddy Zeke told you this one night after a few beers a long time ago.

I was trying to make a joke. You probably didn't think it was funny being you were the butt of it, but I hope others got a chuckle.
