Yea well, i have a 13b, ive never seen a 12a in person, never even looked them up on the internet. I dont have a jet engine in my car, so i know jack squat and didly about them, just like 12a's. I dont have one, so i dont know one. Gimme a months with a 12a and ill know most everythinb about it, but until then i dont know anything

quick, cheap easy breakdown=
12a=1146cc=101hp, 2 rotors
13b=1308cc=135-160n/a-200tIIhp, 2 rotors
both=fun
both=rotary
bigjim, don't worry, i think what everyone said was all in fun. we are all rotary brothers here!

Saying something like this is kinda... stupid.
I corrected myself just under my post. Over the summer i chatted with an old rotary enthusiast which owned a 10a powered car when he was a kid, he told me it was single rotor.

OK then!
Anyway, I believe a few people here can take a look at this (official Mazda) site and learn. And otherway, at least enjoy the site (for thos unable to learn, or those who already know )

BigJim - to avoid further exhibitions of your ignorance, please look at the faq that innitab posted at the top of the 1st Gen section.

On there, is a link to Felix's site where he explains everything you could possibly want to know about the Rx-7 and the Rotary engine.
