I don't think anyone here has anything against domestics. It's just a love for the
uniqueness of the Wankel motor.
You have come to the right place for advise. Wankels don't like to sit for a long
time, so you have to be extra careful if it has been sitting for years.
Since i am also kind of new, i can't tell you exactly what to look for. But alot of
other guys here are very knowledgeable.
Have you been able to hear the car running?
Or a start up has been attempted? If so, what were the results?
What attracted you into checking out the Rotary cars?
Hope the other guys will give you some information.
